BOTOX Overview

What is BOTOX®?

BOTOX is a non-surgical injectable that smooths dynamic wrinkles on the forehead, between the eyebrows, and around the eyes. By relaxing targeted facial muscles, it creates a fresher, more relaxed appearance with no downtime. Under the expert care of Dr. Thompson, BOTOX in Denver is tailored to your features and goals to deliver smooth, natural-looking results.

The Day of Your BOTOX Procedure

Once again, it’s important to note: this procedure is minimally invasive and relatively painless, and most patients experience only mild discomfort or a slight pinch at the injection site. It typically involves injecting small amounts of botulinum toxin into specific muscles to paralyze them temporarily. This is done to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines in the treated area. The procedure is usually quick and relatively painless, with most patients experiencing only mild discomfort or a slight pinch at the injection site. The effects of the treatment typically last for several months, after which time the procedure can be repeated if desired. 

What is Recovery Like After BOTOX?

Since BOTOX in Denver is a minimally invasive procedure, recovering from treatment is easy. Most patients return to work and their daily activities as soon as they’ve received BOTOX. They can begin exercising lightly 4 hours after treatment. The doctor urges patients to keep their head elevated for at least 3 hours if their forehead lines were treated.

Is BOTOX suitable for lines around the mouth?

BOTOX® can be used around the mouth for certain complaints or conditions. Judicious care has to be employed in this area to prevent an abnormal or altered smile. We recommend a formal consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Thompson to explore all possible treatment options for these specific complaints.

Will I develop BOTOX immunity after multiple sessions?

While BOTOX® immunity is not common, it does occur. But the chances are very low. Each patient should be given the lowest possible effective dose to minimize the chance of resistance. If resistance does occur, there are other alternatives to BOTOX® that may work without issue.

Is BOTOX safe?

We do not perform any treatments in our office that are dangerous. Believe it or not, Botox® Cosmetic is one of the safest and most tested drugs on the market. It has been used to treat a variety of issues for more than 30 years.

What is the ideal age to undergo BOTOX?

Patients of all ages have come to us for BOTOX® treatment. We believe the ideal age to begin BOTOX® is dependent on the individual patient’s goals. Specifically, preventative treatments should start before lines or wrinkles appear in the patient’s 20s or 30s. However, it’s never too late to start BOTOX®. If you notice wrinkles during facial expression or fine lines that aren’t going away at rest, you are likely still an ideal candidate for treatment.

How long does BOTOX Cosmetic last?

Results from treatment with Botox® Cosmetic can last for up to 3-4 months. For optimal results, we recommend you regularly schedule your BOTOX® sessions to keep the anti-aging effect active. In some muscle groups, results can last for up to 6 months.

Can BOTOX fix the lines between my eyebrows and nose?

BOTOX® between the eyebrows is one of the most effective uses of the treatment. These frown lines respond well to the treatment, and the results can resolve a resting, angry, or tired expression that can develop over time.

Do the injections hurt?

The doctor uses small needles and area-numbing techniques to maximize patient comfort, though most of our patients handle the BOTOX® injections well.

How often is treatment recommended?

If you’re pleased with the results of BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment, you’ll probably want to get on a treatment schedule for touch-ups every three months for optimal results.
