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 effectively relaxes the targeted muscles, reducing their activity. This minimizes the appearance of dynamic wrinkles, such as frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines, which are caused by repetitive facial expressions. The effects are temporary, typically lasting 3-4 months, after which the muscles gradually regain their normal function.

Your BOTOX session

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

You can expect to see the results of your BOTOX treatment within 3 to 5 days after your session as the targeted muscles gradually relax. Full effects are visible after 10 to 14 days, revealing smoother and more youthful-looking skin. The results of your BOTOX treatment typically last around 3 to 4 months, depending on factors like your muscle activity, metabolism, and lifestyle. To maintain your desired look, we recommend scheduling regular follow-up treatments.
