What Is Botox®, and How Does It Work?
Botox® is a safe, FDA-approved injectable treatment that temporarily relaxes the facial muscles responsible for wrinkles and fine lines. It works by blocking nerve signals to these muscles, reducing their activity and smoothing out the skin’s appearance.
At Glo Skin & Medspa in Edmonton, we use Botox® to target common areas like crow’s feet, forehead lines, and frown lines. The procedure is quick, virtually painless, and delivers noticeable results within days. Botox® is an ideal solution for anyone looking to refresh their appearance without surgery or downtime.
Is Botox® Safe?
Yes, Botox® is extremely safe when administered by trained professionals. It has been used for decades in both medical and cosmetic applications, with millions of treatments performed worldwide.
At Glo Skin & Medspa, our Edmonton Botox experts prioritize your safety and comfort. Each treatment is performed by highly trained professionals who adhere to strict safety protocols. During your consultation, we assess your skin and medical history to ensure Botox® is the right choice for you.
How Long Do Botox® Results Last?
The effects of Botox® typically last between 3 to 4 months, though individual results may vary. Over time, the treated muscles gradually regain activity, and fine lines may reappear. Regular treatments can help maintain a youthful and refreshed look.
If you’re seeking lasting results, Glo Skin & Medspa offers personalized Botox® plans to fit your skincare goals. Our experts in Edmonton work with you to schedule treatments at optimal intervals, ensuring you always look and feel your best.
Does Botox® Hurt, and Is There Downtime?
One of the biggest benefits of Botox® is how quick and convenient the treatment is. Most clients describe the injections as feeling like a small pinch or mosquito bite. The procedure itself takes about 10 to 15 minutes, making it perfect for busy individuals in Edmonton.
There is little to no downtime with Botox®. You can resume your daily activities immediately after your appointment. Some clients may experience mild redness or swelling at the injection site, but these effects usually subside within a few hours.
Can Botox® Be Used for More Than Wrinkles?
Absolutely! While Botox® is widely known for its ability to smooth wrinkles, it also has several other cosmetic and medical uses.
At Glo Skin & Medspa in Edmonton, Botox® can also be used to:
- Slim the jawline: Relaxing the jaw muscles to create a more contoured appearance.
- Reduce excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis): Treating areas like underarms, hands, or feet.
- Ease migraines: Relaxing tension in specific areas to reduce the frequency and severity of migraines.
