Cindy A. Wilson, Nurse Practitioner answers your questions about Botox

According to the survey of 826 U.S. women ages 35 to 65 conducted by Allergan and HealthyWomen, the nation’s leading independent health information source for women, the most common questions about medical aesthetic injectable treatments, like Botox® Cosmetic, include:

Is Botox Safe?

It is important to read and understand all the possible side effects from Botox injections. However, as with any medicine, the serious side effects are uncommon.   Occasionally mild injection site bruising, ptosis, and occasional headaches can occur, but have been reported less than 5% of the time. Also it’s important to choose a medical provider who is highly trained in cosmetic enhancement procedures. A good result always depends on experience and knowledge of facial anatomy.

How much does it cost?

The cost can vary from client to client so we will customize a plan just for you. During your free 30 minute consultation which includes a  Visia complexion analysis and medical provider evaluation we will tailor a Rejuvenation plan that fits any budget.  Usually an area of the face such as your “11’s”, laugh lines or forehead wrinkles can be treated for as little as $150-$200. Plus we have Chattanooga’s BEST client referral program from which you can earn FREE BOTOX.

How long will it last?

Upon undergoing your first injection of Botox you can expect to see results within five to ten days. You will not need another injection for three to six months depending on your age and gender, at which time you will slowly regain increased activity in the targeted facial muscles.

Will it hurt?

Discomfort associated with the superficial injection is usually minimal Because your comfort and safety is our main concern we typically use an ice pack or anesthetic cream to make the procedure very “zen like”.  Also, a topical anti-bruising gel is applied.

Is there “down-time”, when can I return to work?

The short cosmetic treatment only takes a few minutes and there is minimal to no down time. You usually can return to your normal activities immediately. In addition, a complimentary touch-up with Jane Iredale makeup will get you on your way quickly. For our male clientele we offer many discreet services as well.

The American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) reports that in 2011, Botox was the most common procedure for people between the ages of 35 and 50. Botox injections were also the most common non-surgical procedure that year, with a total of 2,169,739 injections performed.
