Here are the answers to 8 imperative questions often asked by many people who are fighting wrinkles in vain.
- What exactly is Botox?
It is a formula based cosmetic treatment designed to relax facial muscles which result in reduced lines and wrinkles on the face. These wrinkles may be caused due to ageing or overactive muscles. Botox works on these muscles and refreshes the face. Scientifically, Botox is one of the Botulinum Toxin type A injections and is FDA approved.
- Can I go for Botox? What is the right age to go for it?
If you are depressed due to wrinkles on face and want to get rid of them, be it existing lines or wanting to, Botox is THE tool for you. The injection is primarily used to treat frown lines, forehead creases, and crow’s feet, but can also be used to treat other areas such as lips, lower face, neck, and even downturned smiles. The ideal time to start botulinum toxin injections would be before the lines become permanent. Depending on how your face ages, you may start the injections at any time, even as early as in the 20’s, if you see visible lines on your face while making expressions. Prevent them before they become permanent.
- How much will Botox cost me?
Botox doesn’t burn holes in the pocket. The average cost may just be close to a regular facial at the beauty clinic. With Dr. Rajat Gupta, per unit Botox is available for USD 6.5, which comes down to lesser than your total spending in a beauty salon per month. And the best part is the Botox results are overwhelmingly long-lasting.
- How many injections are given? Are they painful?
Number of injections is directly proportional to number of areas being treated. To treat multiple areas, multiple injections are given in one session. The procedure is virtually painless and very comfortable. You will just feel the injection and nothing else. The after pain can be reduced by using ice on the treated area or by using the prescribed painkillers.
- How do I choose my Botox Surgeon? Will they prepare me?
Go for a well qualified, board certified and experienced Botox provider, to get best results without any worries of treatment going wrong. The Botox procedure is not as complex as a major reconstructive surgery, but it still requires knowledge, skill, and precision, which only an expert will have. An expert and qualified doctor like Dr. Rajat Gupta, who is concerned about your facial health will give a thorough consultation to prepare you mentally and physically for the treatment. He will tell you, after examining your face closely, how many units need to be injected and the exact cost per unit. A good doctor will always cover every detail before the treatment so that nothing is left as a surprise for later.
- What is the recovery time after Botox?
You can resume normal day to day activities immediately after your injections are done. You will be advised not to overstrain your facial muscles for few days. There will be some redness or slight bruising around treated areas, but it will dissipate soon after. The pain can be taken care of with mild painkillers prescribed by the doctor.
- What are the precautions that I need to take after Botox?
After Botox, you may have to take certain precautions such as:
- Not lying down for at least a few hours after the injections to prevent any migration of Botox to other areas of the face.
- Avoiding vigorous activity for few hours which may involve straining or bending down.
- Not rubbing the treated area aggressively and avoiding getting a facial massage for at least 48 hours after your injection.
- Can I get Botox while I am pregnant or breastfeeding?
No, you should not. Doctors do not recommend Botox while you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
