BOTOX is one of the most popular injectables in the world and trusted by millions of people. If you rely on regular BOTOX injections to keep your facial skin looking smooth and unlined, it is essential that your treatment is performed by an expert injector to ensure your results appear natural.
Facial Rejuvenation with BOTOX
Our goal at SVIA is to bring out the best in every patient who visits our luxury Sacramento aesthetic center. BOTOX smooth lines and creases by treating carefully selected facial muscles to keep them from constantly contracting. As the product activates on the targeted muscle strands, the skin becomes smoother and lines and creases fade. Many of our younger patients are choosing BOTOX injections to maintain more youthful skin long into their 30s and 40s.
What Does BOTOX Treat?
You are a unique individual, and at SVIA, we take all the time needed to curate your facial rejuvenation treatment. BOTOX may be the sole treatment or one of several we administer, based on your personal aesthetic goals. BOTOX can be injected to smooth “dynamic wrinkles,” those caused by muscle contractions. The injections can be administered to treat:
- Horizontal forehead creases
- Frown lines between the eyebrows
- Crow’s feet
- For a custom “lip lift” to gently raise the upper lip to enhance your pout
How Long do Botox Treatments Last?
Botox treatments generally last for 3-4 months, but this can vary from person to person. For some, Botox may last in the 4-6 month range, and for others, it may be only about two months. Patients who have Botox for the first time will notice that their results don’t last as long. After the second treatment, the results begin to last longer.
What is Recovery Like?
Recovery after your treatment is quite minimal. You may have some redness in the treatment area for a couple of hours or a day after your injections, but you can get right back to your usual activities as soon as the treatment is over. Don't rub or massage the treated areas for a couple of days, as this could cause the Botox to move to other areas of the face. Stay out of extreme heat or extensive sun exposure for a day. Otherwise, there really is not much of a recovery period at all.
