The Expert Guide to Botox Do's and Don'ts | Dr. Jonathan Sykes

https://drjonathansykes.com/ -- Botox was first approved for cosmetic use nearly 20 years ago. These days, Botox use has become so widespread and popular that in many parts of the country, it is a standard component of an anti-aging regimen. FULL ARTICLE: https://drjonathansykes.com/botox-dos... What is Botox? Botulinum toxin is an FDA-approved product that is injected into facial muscles in small quantities to reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles, usually in the forehead, brow, or around eyes and mouth. It is also used to change the size of the eye opening, the aperture, or to change and elevate the position of the eyebrows. Botulinum toxin is most frequently used to treat forehead wrinkles, frown lines between the eyebrows, and “crow’s feet” or “smile lines” around the eyes. Is Botox safe? While Botox is technically a toxin, this should not cause patients any concern in a practical sense. It’s true that botulinum toxin is dangerous when used in very high doses. However, the number of units needed to weaken most facial muscles to diminish wrinkles, is actually quite small -- and there is very little to no toxic potential, especially when used at this dose. How long does Botox last? The method that botulinum toxin works is by denervating the nerve muscle junction. The time that it takes to regenerate these action potentials is about 3-4 months-- with some presence of the toxin for up to 6 months. How much does Botox cost? The cost of Botox is based on the amount used, and the injector’s price per unit. Some injectors charge per region, while others charge based on the number units used. The units of Botox, Xeomen, or Jeuveau are all the same, while the number of units of Dysport are 2.5-3x the number required for the desired clinical effect of the other three products. For instance, if I were to use 20 units of Botox for the area between the eyebrows, I would use 50-60 units of Dysport for an equal effect. Below are some general estimates for the Los Angeles area: Frown lines: $200 - $600 Frown lines, forehead, and crow’s feet: $500 - $900 Botox lip flip: $80 - $200 Botox DO’s: -DO your homework when deciding where to get Botox and who to get it from. Be sure to choose a licensed and reputable surgeon, doctor, or nurse practitioner with plenty of experience and a before-and-after photo gallery of their work. -DO consider getting injectable fillers at the same time you get Botox. While Botox works to diminish the appearance of lines, wrinkles, and creases by paralyzing facial muscles, dermal fillers work differently by volumizing sagging areas of an aging face. The two work very well in tandem to effect more total facial rejuvenation. -DO get a referral from someone whose Botox results you like. If your friend or family member looks fantastic after their treatment, chances are you will, too. -DO call your doctor if you experience any of the following after Botox injections: -Trouble breathing or swallowing -Headache or flu-like symptoms -Double or blurred vision -Drooling or trouble pronouncing words -A drooping eyelid or uneven eyebrows -Loss of bladder control -Muscle weakness -Change or loss of voice Botox DON’Ts: -DON’T go to a “Botox party” for Botox injections. Certainly, the injections can be performed correctly in various settings, but it’s my opinion that the wrong situation may have inadequate sterility, lack of lighting, and incorrect patient position. These can add up to a higher incidence of complications. -DON’T rub, massage, or get a facial following your procedure. If possible, avoid applying makeup to the injection site for the first 12-24 hours afterward. -DON’T sleep with your face down for the first couple of days following Botox treatment. -DON’T take NSAID pain relievers, blood thinners, or drink alcohol excessively the day before and after injection, if you can help it. This will reduce bruising and bleeding at the injection site. FULL ARTICLE: https://drjonathansykes.com/botox-dos... Have questions about Botox?
