Frequently Asked Questions About Botox

What is Botox and how does it work
Botox is a neuromodulator that temporarily relaxes muscles by blocking nerve signals. It reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, especially in areas like the forehead, between the eyebrows, and around the eyes. The treatment is FDA approved and has been used safely for decades.
How long does Botox last
Results typically last 3 to 4 months, depending on individual factors such as metabolism, lifestyle, and treatment area. Regular treatments help maintain smooth, youthful skin. Many patients schedule maintenance sessions every few months.
Does Botox hurt
Botox injections are minimally invasive. Most patients describe the sensation as a slight pinch. A topical numbing cream can be applied beforehand to make the process more comfortable. Dr. Akbari uses ultra fine needles and advanced techniques to minimize discomfort.
How long does the procedure take
A Botox treatment session usually takes 15 to 30 minutes, making it convenient for busy schedules. There is little to no downtime, and you can resume normal activities immediately after your appointment.
When will I see results
You may start to notice improvements within 3 to 5 days, with full results appearing after 1 to 2 weeks. The treated muscles gradually relax, smoothing out wrinkles and fine lines for a refreshed appearance.
Is there any downtime after Botox
No significant downtime. You can return to your regular routine immediately, though it is recommended to avoid strenuous activities, lying down, or rubbing the treated area for 24 hours to ensure optimal results.
What precautions should I take before treatment
Avoid alcohol, blood thinners like aspirin, and anti inflammatory medications a few days before treatment to minimize the risk of bruising. Consult with Dr. Akbari about any medications or health conditions before your appointment.
Can Botox be used for medical conditions
Yes. Botox is also used to treat migraines, excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), teeth grinding, and muscle spasms. Speak with Dr. Akbari during your consultation to see if Botox could help with a specific medical concern.
