Botulinum toxin relaxes the facial muscles associated with facial expressions that cause wrinkles. Treatment with botulinum toxin can cause your facial expression lines or wrinkles to be less noticeable or essentially disappear.
Areas most frequently treated are:
-
Glabellar area (frown lines between the eyes)
-
Crows feet (lateral eye) Forehead wrinkles
-
Radial lip lines (smoker's lines)
-
Head and neck muscles
-
Teeth clenching (bruxism)
Botox is diluted to a very controlled solution and injected into the muscles with a very thin needle. You may feel a slight burning sensation when the solution is injected, but it's almost painless.
The procedure takes about 15-20 minutes and the results can last up to 3 months—sometimes sooner or longer. With repeated treatments, the results tend to last longer.

Pre-care botox instructions:
YOU ARE NOT A CANDIDATE FOR BOTOX if you have the following:
1. Myasthenia gravis (condition of muscle weakness)
2. Neuromuscular disorder
3. Allergy to human albumin
4. Allergy to Botulinum Toxin
5. Pregnant or Breastfeeding
AVOID:
● Avoid NSAIDS (Ibuprofen, Advil, Aleve, Aspirin, Motrin, Celebrex, fish oil, Ginkgo Biloba, St. John’s Wort and high doses of Vit E) for up to 7-10 days before treatment. These medications can increase your risk of bleeding and bruising.
● Alcohol can increase the risk of bleeding and bruising.
● Avoid tweezing, waxing, bleaching or hair removal creams in the area to be treated.
DO:
● DO EAT PINEAPPLE (like, if you like it 😄🍍). It will help with inflammation and swelling.
● If you have a history of Herpes Simplex (cold sores) consider prophylactic treatment up to 1 week before treatment
● Sunburned skin is difficult to treat. Please be careful in the sun, prior to the appointment. Always wear your sunscreen!
● If you are worried about discomfort, please have a small snack and take a Tylenol to help, before the appointment.
Post-Botox Instructions:
● No activities that involve heavy lifting, straining or vigorous exercise for a minimum of 6 hours after treatment. Botox can concentrate and not have the desired effect.
● Leave the treated are alone (no touching) for 3 hours after treatment
● Don't lay down for 4 hours after Botox treatment. This will prevent botox spreading to unwanted areas
● Don't do facial/laser treatments or microdermabrasion for at least 10 days.
● It can take up to 7 days for results. If the desired result is not achieved by 2 weeks, more treatment may be required. Contact Evergreen Medispa to book another appointment for a top-up.
