What is it like to receive Botox injections?
A Botox treatment at Seattle Plastic Surgery can be completed during your lunch break, in as quickly as fifteen minutes for repeat patients. First, the experienced physician or nurse injector identifies the proper injection sites to achieve the desired results. Then, the desired dose of Botox is injected into the skin in a series of small, generally painless injections. There is little to no downtime involved with this treatment; a small raised bump may remain for the few hours following the injection. It may take a few days for the treated wrinkles to begin to flatten and smooth out. By one to two weeks post-treatment, the anti-aging effects of the product will be visible.

B is for Botox: Why Botox Is Essential
When we think of Botox injections, the first idea that comes to mind is Anti-Aging. For many, Botox is an essential aspect of their skincare routines, along with sunscreen, Retinols, eye creams, and serums. Botox can also be used as an effective preventative treatment for chronic migraines. At Seattle Plastic Surgery, we offer Botox injections as an anti-aging treatment to help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and creases.
How do Botox Injections work?
Like other muscles in your body, the muscles in your face develop habits. Some people habitually furrow their eyebrows, crinkle the corners of their eyes, favor one side of their face, or scowl. These regular muscle motions beneath the skin cause wrinkles to form on the facial surface.
Botulinum toxin (Botox) is a substance approved by the FDA for cosmetic use in 2002. Botox injections address signs of aging including wrinkles, creases, fine lines, and indentations in the face by temporarily weakening the targeted facial muscles. When the underlying muscles don’t move, wrinkles don’t form on the surface. The effects of a Botox treatment last between two and six months.
Does Botox Prevent or Correct Wrinkles?
The short answer is… both! Preventive Botox is a highly sought after treatment for patients in Seattle in their late 20’s and early 30’s. Just like it sounds, receiving Botox treatments regularly before deep creases appear can prevent these dynamic wrinkles from forming in the first place. By selectively weakening certain facial muscles, your face can be trained to not repeat those movements, ultimately preventing wrinkles.
Traditionally, Botox is used to correct and minimize existing wrinkles and creases by temporarily disabling the underlying muscles. As we age, our skin weakens and fails to resist the folds created by these muscle movements. When the muscles are weakened, the existing wrinkles begin to flatten, and our skin has the opportunity to rest. Botox can enhance the effectiveness of an Anti-Aging Skincare Regimen, allowing our skin to heal from years of repetitive motions, sun damage, aging, and lack of exfoliation.
Botox Before & After Pictures
Botox treatment is very popular and effective if you have visible wrinkles around your forehead, mouth and eyes. Aside from its cosmetic purposes, Botox in Seattle is used for therapeutic treatments that help reduce muscle spasms, headaches and excessive sweating.
