Botox
Botox® is the gold standard in wrinkle-relaxing injectables and one of the most trusted names in aesthetics worldwide. This FDA-approved neurotoxin is used to temporarily relax facial muscles that cause expression lines, helping to smooth the skin and prevent new wrinkles from forming.
At Aesthetics of NKY, we use Botox® to treat common areas such as forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines (the “11’s”), as well as for advanced uses like jaw clenching/teeth grinding, migraines, tension headaches, lip flips, gummy smiles, sagging smiles, and neck rejuvenation.
Our skilled injectors focus on natural-looking results — enhancing your features without a frozen or overdone appearance.
HOW IT WORKS
Botox® works by temporarily blocking the nerve signals that cause targeted muscles to contract. By reducing muscle movement, the overlying skin has a chance to smooth out, softening wrinkles and lines.
Treatment is quick — typically taking about 10 minutes — and requires no downtime. Results begin to appear within 3–5 days, with full effects visible in about two weeks.
Botox® results generally last 3–4 months. With consistent treatments, many clients notice their lines become less pronounced over time.
WHAT TO EXPECT
For best results following Botox® injections:
Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours.
Do not rub or massage the treated area.
Avoid lying down for at least 4 hours post-treatment.
Most clients return to daily activities immediately after treatment. Mild redness, swelling, or pinpoint bruising at the injection site is possible but temporary.
