Defy Time With Botox Treatments
About Botox
Dynamic wrinkles occur when you smile, laugh, squint, frown, or use expressions that work your facial muscles. However, the overuse of these facial muscles makes them appear prominently on your skin even when you’re not actively using them. That’s how you get deep facial wrinkles, such as the forehead lines, frown lines between your eyebrows, and laugh lines around your eyes.
Botox belongs to a class of cosmetic injectables that temporarily relax the facial muscles responsible for these wrinkles. It’s composed of a neurotoxin protein called botulinum toxin that blocks communications between muscles and the nerve roots that carry messages to the brain. When strategically injected into the facial muscles responsible for your wrinkles, Botox relaxes your muscles and smoothes your skin.

Getting the Most Natural Look From Your Botox
Preventative Botox
Cosmetic Botox Treatment Overview
Consultation
Your provider starts all treatments with a personal consultation. You can discuss your cosmetic goals and expectations at the time of your consultation. Your injector will listen to all your concerns and goals and curate a personalized treatment plan according to your unique needs.
Treatment
Botox injections are simple, quick, and deliver consistent results to reduce the motion that makes the wrinkle, allowing wrinkles to fade in appearance over time. Successful treatment is predicated upon expert understanding of anatomy to properly dose and place precise injections conferring optimal results. At Aura, we strive for a natural and balanced look so that people notice your smile, not your frown.
Recovery
Botox injections don’t involve any downtime or recovery period. The injections take less than 15 minutes, and it takes about 15 to 30 minutes for the redness and swelling to subside. Some people experience minor swelling and bruising for a few days. But you can resume most daily activities immediately and strenuous activities in 24 hours.
Results
You’ll start noticing the Botox results in 5-7 days, but it may take as much as 2 weeks for the final results to become evident. The results last for approximately 3-4 months.
It’s key to remember that consistent re-dosing is critical for ongoing treatment success. Remember, Botox stops the motion that makes the wrinkle- it doesn’t make the wrinkle go away. Time, skin care, and regular treatments are critical for effective wrinkle appearance reduction.
Botox Candidates
Botox treatments are suitable for all adults dissatisfied with their prominent facial lines and wrinkles. If you’re frustrated that your wrinkles and facial lines make you look older than you feel, you’re the right candidate for Botox. It doesn’t matter if you’re male or female, 25 or 70; most people can benefit from Botox injections.
There’s a misconception that Botox is for older patients. In actuality, Botox treatments are also ideal for younger patients in their mid to late 20s who are just starting to see wrinkles. Collagen production starts decreasing on average at around age 28. Creating a treatment plan around this age is ideal for long-term, ideal results. By relaxing your facial muscles, Botox prevents you from developing deep wrinkles at an early age. As such, Botox can also help you maintain youthful skin longer.
