Botox Questions and Answers

If you are considering getting Botox, you may have a lot of questions. What is Botox? How long does it last? How long does it take to work? How much does it cost? In this blog post, we will answer all of your questions and help you to decide if Botox is the right choice for you!

What is Botox?

Botox is a temporary cosmetic product that helps to improve the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines, crow's feet, and forehead lines. It is approved by the FDA and is a popular choice for those looking to improve their appearance.

The scientific name of Botox is Onobotulinumtoxin A. There are 4 different formulations of botulinum toxins that are FDA approved for facial wrinkles: Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, and Jeuveau. All of which are very similar due to them being used for preventing fine lines and wrinkles. SOHO Wellness Med Spa offers all four brands of botox and has experienced staff who will help you determine which is best for your individual needs.

It works by temporarily paralyzing the muscles in your face, which reduces the ability to contract and crease the skin. Botox injections are most commonly used on the forehead, around the eyes, and on the jawline.

How long does Botox last?

The results of Botox injections typically last for three to six months. However, this can vary from person to person. Some people may see the effects of their Botox treatments last up to 6 months, while others may only see the results last for 2 months.

The length of time that Botox lasts also depends on the number of injections you receive and the areas that are injected. For example, if you receive injections in your forehead, you may see the effects last longer than if you only receive injections around your eyes.

First-time botox users can experience results that last less than their second time. As time progresses, regular users may find that the botox treatments may last longer due to the muscles shrinking. Multiple treatments are often recommended because the neurotoxins begin to wear off over time, causing nerves to send signals to muscles to start contracting.

How long does Botox take to work?

The results of Botox can be seen as early as 24 hours after injection, but the full effects are typically seen within three to five days. Although uncommon, sometimes it can take up to 10 days to see the full effects. It is important to note that Botox is not an instant fix and it may take a few treatments before you see the desired results.

As fine lines and wrinkles come back, it is recommended to get touch-up treatments every three to six months to maintain the results.

How much does Botox cost?

The cost of Botox can vary depending on the number of units used, the areas injected, and the provider you choose. At SOHO Wellness Med Spa, our prices start at $12 per unit. A typical botox treatment sessions consists of 15-50 units ($180-$600 per botox session). We offer a variety of packages to help you save money on your treatments, so don't hesitate to ask about our Botox specials!

Dysport vs Botox

Dysport and Botox are both FDA-approved for the treatment of wrinkles, but there are some differences between the two.

Dysport is made with smaller proteins that allow it to spread out more than Botox. This can be beneficial if you have large areas that need to be treated. This works particularly well for larger areas that use botox on the forehead. However, it can also make Dysport less predictable than Botox, so it is important to have an experienced provider who knows how much Dysport to use.

Botox is made with larger proteins, so it does not spread out as much as Dysport. This can be beneficial if you have small areas that need to be treated. Botox is also less likely to cause drooping than Dysport, so it is a good choice for those who are concerned about this side effect.

Both Dysport and Botox are effective at reducing wrinkles, but they each have their own benefits and drawbacks. Be sure to discuss your options with a trained professional before deciding which is right for you.
