If you think you could benefit from Botox in Brentwood, TN, read on. We have all the information you need about the Botox process to determine if this treatment is right for you and your aesthetic goals.
What Botox Treats
Botox minimizes dynamic wrinkles, particularly those associated with your most common facial expressions. When you smile or frown, you wrinkle certain parts of your face. Over time, as collagen levels decline and skin loses elasticity, those repeated expressions cause lines and wrinkles to form in the areas where your skin creases and stretches the most.
We recommend meeting with DeLozier Aesthetics about Botox in Brentwood if you want to treat concerns like:
- Crow’s feet
- Glabellar lines (“Elevens”)
- Forehead wrinkles
- Nasolabial folds
- Gummy smile
- Marionette lines
- Platysmal bands
Targeted Botox injections can relax your wrinkles for a smoother, more youthful look.
How Botox Provides Results
Many use Botox to address fine lines, wrinkles, and more, but aren’t sure how it actually achieves those results. The secret lies in the name—“Botox” is a combination of the two words “botulinum toxin.”
Scientists sterilized and diluted this toxin for aesthetic purposes, creating a purified, injectable neurotoxin. Botulinum toxin can temporarily quiet muscle movements, and we use this to lessen the intensity of your wrinkles.
Because dynamic wrinkles form through repeated facial movements, when we prevent those muscle movements, we address the wrinkles associated with them. The skin lies smoother, and you’re left looking more relaxed.
An All-Natural Look
If you’ve been on the fence about signing up for a Botox treatment, it may be because you are concerned about your results looking natural. It’s a common misconception that Botox makes people look “stiff” or “frozen.”
However, results like those are usually the result of an inexperienced injector. When you work with a qualified provider, you can see results that look natural and complement your individual, unique features.
Our team makes targeted injections based on your condition and facial structure. After a Botox treatment, you don’t look like you’ve had work done—you just look like you.
Is Botox your only injectable treatment option?
We provide a number of injectable aesthetic treatments at DeLozier Plastic Surgery and DeLozier Aesthetics. And Botox isn’t the only wrinkle relaxer we offer. We also offer Dysport and Jeuveau, both of which contain botulinum toxin to achieve similar results. While their formulas differ slightly, our experts can help you determine which brand suits your unique needs.
We also offer other injectable options besides wrinkle relaxers. If you want to restore volume to your face, we may recommend dermal fillers or lip fillers. While Botox works by freezing the muscles in your face, fillers actually fill, lift, and/or contour the skin with a specialized aesthetic solution. If your face has lost volume over time, leaving you with a hollow appearance, then you may benefit from a filler.
Botox and fillers are different, but they’re all effective for different aesthetic goals. In fact, it’s common that patients need a combination of both to achieve their desired results. To learn which is the right choice for you, reach out to our team and schedule a consultation.
The First Step
To take the first step in the Botox treatment process, you need to schedule an in-person consultation. At DeLozier Plastic Surgery and DeLozier Aesthetics, our consultation process allows you and your provider to collaborate on the best way to achieve your goals based on your medical history, aesthetic preferences, and lifestyle.
During this one-on-one meeting, we ask you some simple questions about your preferences and what you’re looking to get out of your treatment.
By gathering information about your aesthetic goals, we can help ensure that Botox in Brentwood or Nashville, TN, is the best treatment for your concerns. Together, we will review the best approach to ensure you receive the most effective treatment the first time around.
After we complete this in-person consultation, we can administer your treatment.
Before Your Botox Injections…
Most of the time, we can complete your Botox injections the same day as your consultation.
One important reason we might instead postpone your Botox injections is because of your medication. If you’re taking any medications that thin the blood, we’d recommend you pause them before your injections, as they can increase your risk of bruising and bleeding at the injection sites.
What to Expect From Your Injections
On the day of your treatment with us for Botox in Brentwood or Nashville, we get you seated comfortably in one of our private treatment rooms. We perform this treatment with the help of an ultra-fine needle. This makes the process both more comfortable and more precise.
The specifics of your Botox treatment vary slightly from other patients because your face, wrinkles, and needs are unique to you. You can expect your Botox injection session to take around 10 to 15 minutes.
With Botox in Brentwood, TN, you can see results without completely overhauling your busy schedule.
Do Botox injections hurt?
Most patients do not find the Botox injection process painful. If you’ve ever had a flu shot, you can probably guess what the injections feel like.
Because the process only takes a few minutes, many of our patients can complete the session without taking any additional precautions. But we want you to feel comfortable throughout the entire Botox injection process; if you’re particularly sensitive to pain, then let our providers know during your consultation. We can numb or provide additional comfort measures to the treatment area before you receive your injections so you can enjoy your appointment without pain or irritation.
Recovering After Your Botox Treatment
Following your injections with Botox in Brentwood, you shouldn’t need any extended downtime. If you’d like, you could even return to your place of work or continue your daily schedule after your appointment. That said, there are a few precautions we recommend in the days following your injections.
We recommend keeping your head upright for at least 6 hours to help the toxin take effect and prevent migration. You should also avoid intense exercise or any strenuous activity for 2 hours, so don’t go to the gym after you leave our office.
Some patients may want to massage their injection site, but this can cause the product to shift beneath the skin, so avoid touching the injection site while you recover.
Seeing the Results of Your Treatment
The specific results timeline varies based on several factors, like your goals and the severity of your wrinkles, but most people see the initial results of Botox in the first few days following their injections.
These results only continue to improve, with the full results manifesting after about 2 weeks. The results of your injections with Botox in Brentwood, TN, then last anywhere from 3 to 4 months.
If you notice your results beginning to wane, reach out to our team, and we can schedule a touch-up appointment to maintain your smooth, youthful features.
