Botox® injections are safe and noninvasive treatments with minimal risks and only mild side effects. You may experience light headaches, nausea, or slight pain or swelling at the injection sites, but these are temporary.  

Results typically last three to five months, and we recommend touch-up sessions to maintain your desired outcome. 

Cost varies depending on treatment areas and number of treatments needed. 

The most common areas of the face treated with Botox® are: frown lines, crow’s feet, forehead lines, and even migraine headaches can benefit from this popular treatment.  

If you’re considering getting Botox® treatment for the first time, it’s important to know that there are some steps you can take to prepare. Avoiding alcohol, aspirin, and blood-thinning medications for a few days before the treatment can help minimize bruising. Additionally, it’s important to stay hydrated and avoid smoking in the weeks leading up to the procedure.  

Get a younger, natural look by softening your facial lines with Botox® in Toledo. You must be healthy and free from neuromuscular disease for the treatment to be effective. Schedule a consultation at EVOLV to find out if you are the ideal candidate for this rejuvenating procedure. 

There is virtually no downtime required after getting Botox® cosmetic treatments! While you may experience some redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site, these usually resolve within a few hours or days.

Remember to abstain from rubbing or massaging the injection site for the first 3 hours after the treatment to avoid any unwanted spread of the botulinum toxin. This will help you avoid unwanted facial weakness or asymmetry caused by affecting other muscles.

There is no age limit for Botox®. And while you may think of it as a treatment for aging skin, there are actually many medical reasons why young patients might choose to get ‘prejuvenation’ Botox®. For example, it can help with jaw tension, associated TMJ pain, TMJ, gummy smiles, and various facial disorders. 

Botox® has been used for cosmetic purposes for many years, but it may surprise some to learn that it also has medical applications. One such use is for the treatment of migraines. Botox® injections can help to reduce the frequency and severity of migraines by blocking the release of certain chemicals in the brain.

Additionally, it can be used to treat pain associated with jaw grinding as well as excessive sweating, a condition known as hyperhidrosis. By injecting the affected area with Botox®, the nerves that cause the sweating are temporarily weakened, reducing the amount of sweat produced.  

Usually, Botox® injections take between three to five months to diminish, depending on the patient’s metabolism and the amount of Botox® used.  

A numbing cream may be applied to keep you comfortable during treatment if desired but is usually not needed. 

After getting Botox® injections, there are a few things you should avoid to ensure the best results. Avoid touching, rubbing, or massaging the treated area for the first 24 hours. This can cause Botox® to spread to other areas of the face. Avoid strenuous exercise for the first 24 hours.

This can increase blood flow, causing the Botox® to move from the treated area. Additionally, it’s best to abstain from alcohol and salty foods for at least 24 hours since both can cause dehydration.   

Botox® not only reduces the appearance of existing wrinkles but also helps prevent new ones from forming. It works by relaxing the muscles responsible for the formation of wrinkles, preventing them from contracting and causing constant movement that leads to the development of fine lines over time. You’ll be left with a more relaxed and refreshed look that enhances your natural beauty. 

This simple and safe treatment reduces wrinkles and fine lines, but it’s important to note that maintenance is required every four months or so. On average, Botox® lasts 3-4 months before additional treatments are needed to maintain the improvements. 

Neurotoxins, such as Botox®, Dysport®, and Xeomin® injections, act as neuromodulators, temporarily relaxing the facial muscles that cause lines when you smile, laugh, or frown. These “wrinkle muscles” can be easily smoothed with either of these neurotoxins, which have been FDA-approved for many years.

Dysport®, works faster than Botox®, producing results within one to two days, and all three treatments typically last between three to five months.
