8 Facts You Need to Know Before Getting Botox

8 Facts You Need to Know Before Getting Botox

We hear about Botox a lot these days. Millions of people go for this popular treatment every year in hopes of reducing signs of aging. Like any other procedure, Botox requires thorough research and preparation before taking the plunge. Below, eight facts you need to know before giving Botox a go.
Anyone can get Botox…


First things first, when it comes to getting Botox, there’s no specific age at which it’s recommended. Both women and men who want to improve their overall appearance make good candidates for Botox treatments. While most patients are middle-aged, it’s not unusual to see individuals in their 20’s getting Botox injections. This is because Botox works both as a treatment and an aging preventative. That said, there are instances when Botox is not suitable such as the patient being under 18, being pregnant/breastfeeding, or having egg allergy.

…and everyone offers it


When looking for Botox treatments in your area, safety should be your top priority – not just the price. Surely, a Botox treatment is a relatively simple one. However, a wrongly administered injection can lead to negative side effects, including saggy skin and a droopy eyelid. This is why you want to choose your provider carefully. Ideally, it will be someone’s who’s had botox training and has experience as a medical professional. Make sure to go in for a consultation as well. This will allow your Botox provider to assess your health, examine facial expressions, and administer injections in the correct places.

There’s no right or wrong time to start with Botox…


Like we previously mentioned, there is no specific age when plastic surgeons and dermatologists recommend getting a Botox treatment. Botox can be a wonderful tool for someone who’s looking to prevent the aging process and retain a youthful appearance. A person in their 20’s or 30’s may need only a small amount of Botox to prevent wrinkles from appearing. On the other hand, patients in their 40’s or 50’s will need a larger amount of units to decrease the appearance of lines while also relying on other treatments such as microneedling, peels, and fillers for etched-in lines and wrinkles. If you’re in a position to start early, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t do it.

…and it really is a lunch break treatment


Many of us have heard about cosmetic treatments you can do while on your lunch break. These lunchtime beauty treatments are basically non-surgical cosmetic procedures that often last less than 30 minutes and provide lasting results. The best part? There’s no downtime involved. This means you can get back to work immediately after undergoing your Botox treatment. You get skin that’s rejuvenated and no one at work suspects a thing? It’s a win-win situation!

Your face will feel funny after getting Botox…


Because Botox is a neurotoxin, you can expect your face to feel funny after undergoing the treatment. Some may even say that it feels like their face has been duct taped. This is because the muscles will be frozen after administering injections, and moving them will be difficult. That said, you don’t have to worry about your facial muscles being completely immobilized. The toxin will simply restrict them, and the strength will gradually decrease over time.

…but you won’t look expressionless


Patients who are considering Botox often express concerns about their face looking expressionless post-treatment. This is a popular belief, so much so that it’s become a comical stereotype. That said, there’s no reason to worry, as this is just a myth and nothing more. Botox works by moderately restricting expressions, paralyzing only certain muscles without freezing the whole face. What this means is that you can still express a wide range of emotions and your face will show it.

Botox isn’t just for celebrities…


Back in the day, Botox treatments were something you’d only hear about in the tabloids when reading about A-list celebrities. Consequently, many of us were made to believe that such treatments are out of our reach in terms of finances. In reality, anti-aging treatments like these can be quite attainable. Depending on how you look at it, Botox treatments may seem expensive. But, the prices of these treatments vary widely, and they’re definitely not Oscars-red-carpet expensive as we think.

…but you will get what you pay for


When it comes to the cost of the Botox treatment, there are a couple of factors that will influence it. These include your location, treatment area, the unit of Botox that will be injected, and, of course, its quality. Different providers will charge differently, and their experience will also dictate the cost of the treatment. Whoever you select as your provider, do your best to learn about their credentials and reputation. You will get what you pay for, so make sure you take these things into consideration to ensure best results.

Wrapping up


Getting Botox treatment is a great preventative, anti-aging measure for ensuring healthy skin as you age. By educating yourself prior to the procedure, you can make a well-informed decision and ensure desired results.
