At Beaver Medical Group, we offer Botox® treatments as part of our comprehensive approach to helping patients look and feel their best. With years of experience in administering Botox® treatments, our team ensures that you’re in the hands of trusted professionals.
What is Botox®?
Botox®, short for botulinum toxin, is an injectable neurotoxin that helps relax muscles and smooth out wrinkles. Originally discovered for its muscle-relaxing properties, Botox® has been FDA-approved for both cosmetic and medical purposes for several decades. Although it’s derived from Clostridium botulinum bacteria, when administered by an experienced provider like those at Beaver Medical Group, it’s completely safe in small, controlled doses.
Cosmetic Uses of Botox®
At Beaver Medical Group, one of the primary cosmetic uses of Botox® is to reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles and fine lines. This treatment is especially effective in areas such as:
- Frown lines (between the eyebrows)
- Crow’s feet (around the eyes)
- Forehead wrinkles
Botox® works by relaxing the muscles beneath the skin, preventing them from contracting. This smooths the skin above, resulting in a more youthful appearance. Our experienced team ensures that your Botox® treatment is customized to your unique facial structure for natural-looking results.
Is Botox® Safe?
When administered by the experienced professionals at Beaver Medical Group, Botox® is very safe. It is FDA-approved and typically comes with minimal side effects, which may include:
- Redness or swelling at the injection site
- Temporary bruising
- Mild headaches
In rare cases, some patients may experience ptosis (drooping eyelids), but this condition usually resolves on its own.
Preparing for Your Botox® Treatment
Before your Botox® appointment at Beaver Medical Group, you’ll have a personalized consultation with one of our specialists. This is your opportunity to discuss your cosmetic or medical goals and let us know the specific areas you’d like to target. We’ll evaluate your skin and facial structure to ensure that we develop the best treatment plan for you.
What to Expect During Your Botox® Treatment
Botox® treatments at Beaver Medical Group are quick, easy, and minimally invasive. The entire procedure usually takes about 10–15 minutes. Using a fine needle, your provider will inject small amounts of Botox® into the targeted muscles. Most patients experience minimal discomfort, and if you’re worried about pain, we can apply a topical numbing cream or ice the area beforehand.
Aftercare and Recovery
After your Botox® treatment, you can resume most of your normal activities immediately. However, we recommend avoiding heavy physical activity for 24 hours to ensure optimal results. You should also avoid rubbing or massaging the treated areas, as this could cause the Botox® to spread to unintended areas.
You’ll begin to see noticeable results within 3–5 days, with the full effect becoming visible after about two weeks. Our team at Beaver Medical Group is always available to answer any questions you may have post-treatment.
How Long Does Botox® Last?
Botox® results are temporary, typically lasting between 3–6 months. As the Botox® wears off, muscle activity gradually returns, and wrinkles may begin to reappear. However, regular treatments can help maintain a smooth, youthful appearance over time. At Beaver Medical Group, we recommend scheduling follow-up treatments every 3–4 months to maintain the best results.
Who Should Avoid Botox®?
While Botox® is safe for most individuals, there are a few exceptions. You should avoid Botox® if:
- You are pregnant or breastfeeding
- You have a neuromuscular disorder
- You are allergic to any of the ingredients in Botox®
It’s essential to consult with our experienced team at Beaver Medical Group if you have any underlying health conditions or are taking medications that could interfere with Botox® treatment.
How Botox® Works Beneath the Surface
Botox® works by blocking the neurotransmitters that signal muscles to contract. By relaxing the muscles, the skin above them no longer folds into wrinkles, creating a smoother, more youthful appearance. At Beaver Medical Group, our professionals are skilled in administering Botox® to ensure that you achieve natural, flattering results.
Botox® vs. Dermal Fillers
Many patients wonder about the difference between Botox® and dermal fillers. While Botox® relaxes muscles to smooth out wrinkles, dermal fillers add volume to areas where the skin has lost its elasticity. Fillers are commonly used to plump up the lips, cheeks, and other areas of the face that may appear hollow with age. During your consultation at Beaver Medical Group, we’ll help you decide which treatment is best for your needs.
Common Myths About Botox®
There are a few common myths surrounding Botox®, but Beaver Medical Group is here to clear them up:
- Myth: Botox® will leave you with a “frozen face.”
- Truth: When administered by experienced professionals, Botox® allows for natural facial expressions while reducing wrinkles.
- Myth: Botox® can spread and cause unwanted effects.
- Truth: This is extremely rare. When Botox® is administered correctly by our trained specialists, it stays in the intended area.
What Can Go Wrong with Botox®?
