FAQs
Frequently asked questions for Aesthetics MD of Silicon Valley. We're here to answer your questions and provide you with insight.
What is Botox?
Botox is a cosmetic injectable treatment derived from a purified form of botulinum toxin that temporarily relaxes muscles, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
What are the benefits of Botox?
Botox offers the advantages of reducing wrinkles and fine lines, providing a youthful appearance, and temporarily relaxing muscles for both cosmetic and medical purposes.
What areas are typically treated with Botox?
Botox is commonly used to treat areas such as the forehead, crow's feet (lines around the eyes), and frown lines between the eyebrows (the "11's").
What should I expect during a session?
During a Botox session, you can expect Dr. T to administer a series of small injections into the targeted areas with minimal discomfort, typically taking around 10-15 minutes.
How soon do I see results and how long does it lasts?
Results from Botox injections usually become visible within a few days to a week, and the effects typically last for three to four months.
Is Botox safe?
Botox is considered safe when administered by a qualified medical professional. However, as with any medical procedure, there are potential risks and side effects associated with Botox.
Common side effects of Botox include temporary bruising, swelling, redness, and mild headaches. These side effects are generally mild and subside within a few days. There are some rare but possible risks associated with Botox injections, such as infection at the injection site, allergic reactions to the Botox, muscle weakness or drooping in nearby areas, and asymmetry or uneven results.
​
It's important to have a thorough consultation with a qualified medical professional, like Dr. T, who can assess your individual situation, discuss the potential risks, and take appropriate precautions to minimize them. To ensure your safety, it's crucial to receive Botox injections from a reputable provider who has the necessary qualifications and experience in administering the treatment. Dr. T, being a board-certified Medical Doctor with extensive training and experience in Botox treatments, follows strict protocols and takes great care to provide safe and effective treatments to his patients.
Can Botox be used for reasons other than cosmetic ones?
Yes, Botox can be used for reasons other than cosmetic purposes. Botox has been approved by regulatory authorities for various medical conditions. Some of the non-cosmetic uses of Botox include treating chronic migraines, reducing excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), alleviating muscle spasms and stiffness in conditions such as cervical dystonia or spasticity, managing overactive bladder, and addressing certain eye conditions like strabismus (crossed eyes) or blepharospasm (uncontrolled eyelid twitching). These medical applications of Botox are typically administered by qualified healthcare professionals who specialize in the treatment of these specific conditions.
