Relax facial muscles and soften dynamic wrinkles

BOTOX is a popular, FDA-approved cosmetic treatment that temporarily reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It works by relaxing specific facial muscles, which helps to smooth out dynamic lines caused by repetitive expressions such as smiling, frowning, or squinting, including forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines between the eyebrows. At Serotonin Centers, our skilled team administers BOTOX with precision to deliver natural-looking, subtle results that last up to 4 months.

How does BOTOX work?

BOTOX temporarily blocks nerve signals to specific muscles. It contains a purified protein derived from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, which prevents the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter responsible for muscle contractions. By inhibiting this chemical signal, BOTOX can help relax the targeted muscles, potentially reducing the appearance of dynamic wrinkles, such as frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines caused by repetitive facial expressions. Effects are temporary and typically last 3-4 months, after which the muscles gradually regain their function.

Your BOTOX session in Charleston, SC

During a BOTOX treatment, you’ll first have a consultation to discuss your goals and areas of concern. Our skilled practitioner will then cleanse the treatment area and use a fine needle to administer precise injections of BOTOX into the targeted muscles. The procedure takes 10-15 minutes and involves minimal discomfort, often described as a slight pinching sensation. There’s no need for anesthesia, and you can resume your regular activities immediately after.

Side effects and recovery process

After a BOTOX treatment, you may experience mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites. These effects are usually temporary and subside within a few hours to a few days. Some clients may notice a slight headache or tenderness, which also resolves quickly. The recovery process is simple—there’s no significant downtime, and you can return to your daily activities immediately. To ensure the best results, we recommend avoiding strenuous exercise, alcohol, and rubbing the treated area for at least 24 hours after your session.

Onset and longevity of results

Most clients begin to see the effects of their BOTOX treatment within 3 to 5 days after their session as the targeted muscles gradually relax. Full effects may become visible within 10 to 14 days, revealing a smoother skin appearance. BOTOX results typically last around 3 to 4 months, depending on individual factors like muscle activity, metabolism, and lifestyle. To maintain your desired look, we can discuss scheduling regular follow-up treatments.
