Most have minimal discomfort during injectable wrinkle treatments. However, if you are sensitive, a topical numbing cream can be used to make your treatment more comfortable. Please note that we use tiny needles for the injections, and it only takes minutes. Typically, there is no discomfort after the treatment, though patients may experience headaches, respiratory infection, and temporary nausea in rare cases.

Duration of results vary depending on how much of the product is administered, which muscles are targeted, and how long a patient has been using BOTOX® Cosmetic. There is some evidence that, by repeating treatments, you will be able to space out treatments longer. Most are ready to touch up their results 3 to 5 months after their previous treatment; however, this varies.

No significant preparation is necessary; however, some patients have found it beneficial to stop taking certain medications or herbal supplements that may exacerbate bruising or bleeding. Our staff can answer any questions you may have about specific medicines.
