Aging is a natural process that is touted to be inevitable. One can see wrinkles, fine lines, and crow’s feet around the eyes on the face with every year that goes by. We believe that aging should only positively affect one’s wisdom and not those rugged good looks!
Dr. Balvant Arora , our award-winning Board Certified Plastic Surgeon has found the perfect solution to stop aging in its tracks! And no, don’t worry it does not involve undergoing extensive surgery.
Our solution to combat aging is pretty simple and literally on point – Botox! Botox is a minimally invasive and highly efficient way to stop new wrinkles from forming on your skin and diminish or eradicate the existing wrinkles.
Botox is the short form of BOtulinum TOXin. It is produced by a bacteria called Clostridium Botulinum.
Botox is a neurotoxin that cosmetically helps in getting rid of any fine lines and wrinkles which develop with age. It helps in restoring the smooth and youthful appearance of the face.
Botox also helps in correcting certain medical conditions like hyperhidrosis, eye twitching, lazy eye, cervical dystonia, bladder dysfunction, migraine, etc.
During the first visit, Dr. Balvant Arora will obtain a detailed medical history and surgical history, and history of any facial treatment taken so far. Medical and surgical treatment options will be discussed. If you are the right candidate for Botox, the process will be explained.
Consultation is an important factor when it comes to Botox. Understanding the facial structure and the patient’s desire is also very important. At Arora Plastic Surgery and Med Spa, Dr. Balvant Arora takes utmost care to cater to the patient’s requirement.
Book AppointmentBotox is a minimally invasive process and thus does not need any anesthesia. It is directly injected into the problem areas to correct the issue at hand.
For the procedure, a very thin needle is used in order to insert small amounts of botulinum toxin. Dr. Balvant Arora takes utmost care that only the wrinkle-producing muscles are targeted so as to not disturb the natural features of the face.
The amount of injections depends upon the extent of the wrinkles as well as the facial structure. It can take anywhere from 15 to 45 minutes to administer Botox and the results of the same are fully visible after about 72 hours.
Many factors can affect the final cost of botox treatment, such as the number of units required, the number of sessions required, the geographical location, and the doctor’s fees.
During the consultation, the cost of botox treatment will be discussed with you in detail. All of the aspects that influence it will be covered by Dr. Balvant Arora .
Book AppointmentBotox is a popular cosmetic treatment that can reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. The botulinum toxin, which is the active ingredient in botox, temporarily paralyzes the muscles in the treated area. This paralysis prevents the muscles from contracting, which can smooth out the skin and give it a more youthful appearance. Botox treatments are usually quick and relatively painless, and the results can last for several months. For many people, Botox is an effective way to improve their appearance and boost their confidence.
The recovery after the treatment is quite simple. The doctor generally advises the application of ice to the injected area so as to control the swelling or soreness that might occur.
The doctor also suggests avoiding vigorous exercise for 4 hours after the procedure and also avoiding applying any pressure or massaging the injected areas as this may move the Botox to other areas.
Apart from this, there are no additional precautions that need to be taken after the procedure. Generally, patients resume their work immediately after a few hours on the same day.
Like every other procedure, there are a few rare risks associated with Botox as well. Some of them include:
Although these risks are very rare, utmost care must be taken before, after, and during the process so as to avoid these risks from turning into a reality.
In case you are wondering whether or not Botox is right for you, we invite you for a consultation at Arora Plastic Surgery and Med Spa with our Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Balvant Arora , who will guide you further on this subject.
