It may have been a recommendation from a friend, or a trusted colleague that solidified your position. Or maybe you saw an attractive ad or article about the benefits of Botox. Whatever it was, got you to this point. Now, it's up to you to prepare yourself for you Botox appointment. The best way you can prepare for Botox is to inform yourself on what the procedure entails. They are not complicated or lengthy procedures, so understanding the mechanics and results of a procedure are pretty straightforward. Be sure to educate yourself. And try to clearly define what outcomes you would like and be able to communicate those to your doctor. This is the best way to insure your comfort and success.
Since the procedure is very straightforward, and there is little preparation in terms of medical needs, try to be prepared with your expectations. Normally, you will be sitting in a reclining, dentist-like chair. When you know what you want, it will make the procedure more meaningful for you. You will be an active participant. So, you tell your physician you want to achieve this look, and then they may ask you to contract specific muscles, then he or she will mark the injection locations.
Your Face Right After
The affected area may show small red dots right after you receive the Botox injections. In rare cases, some patients reported instances of minor bruising or swelling. If that were the case, the simple application of make-up would cover that up until the bruising disappeared. This would likely occur within a few hours of the Botox treatment. Scars on the face are not a concern, since this is not an invasive procedure. A cold washcloth or some ice pressed on the injection site for a few minutes after the procedure will reduce any inflammation.
Your doctor should provide you with Botox recovery tips after your Botox procedure has been completed. The Botox will take effect within the first few hours with full results visible within about a week. So keep this in mind when you are scheduling your appointment around an event.
What Will it Cost You?
BOTOX Cosmetic treatments are generally quite affordable, which is one of the main reasons for the procedure's international popularity. Depending on the nature of the treatment, a BOTOX session will usually cost between $300 and $400 per syringe. Compared to other anti-wrinkle injectable treatments, only collagen will typically cost less than BOTOX. To maintain results, BOTOX patients will have to pay somewhere in that general range every 4-6 months.
