Enjoy Smoother, Firmer Facial Skin With BOTOX Treatment in St. Louis

Over the years, the tiny movements made by your facial muscles when you smile, squint, or frown can create creases and folds in your skin, known as dynamic wrinkles. These wrinkles tend to disrupt your facial harmony and age you prematurely, and unfortunately, they’ll continue to deepen as you get older. At Renaissance Plastic Surgery, our state-of-the-art medical spa offers treatment with BOTOX Cosmetic, an extremely popular, non-invasive treatment that can rejuvenate your facial skin and keep dynamic wrinkles at bay.

What Is BOTOX?

BOTOX is a cosmetic treatment that involves injecting a purified protein into specific areas of your face to temporarily relax the muscles that cause wrinkles and fine lines. The active ingredient in BOTOX is botulinum toxin type A, which is produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. BOTOX Cosmetic was the first product on the market to use botulinum toxin type A cosmetically.
BOTOX is most commonly used to treat wrinkles on the forehead, between the eyebrows, and around the eyes. It can also be used to treat certain medical conditions, such as migraines, excessive sweating, and muscle spasms.

Benefits of BOTOX

BOTOX is a popular cosmetic treatment that offers a variety of major benefits, including the following:

  • Reduced appearance of dynamic wrinkles
  • Temporary prevention of new wrinkles from forming
  • Smoother, firmer facial skin
  • Quick and easy procedure
  • Little to no recovery time
  • A more youthful facial appearance
  • Safe, non-invasive treatment
  • Improved self-confidence
  • Natural-looking results

What to Expect During Your BOTOX Treatment in St. Louis

Before your BOTOX treatment at our medical spa, you’ll sit down for a quick consultation with one of our aestheticians. They’ll evaluate your unique situation, including your medical history and aesthetic goals, to ensure that BOTOX treatment is right for you.

Your BOTOX treatment will be a quick, painless, in-office treatment. First, a topical anesthetic will be applied to your skin to minimize discomfort. One of our skilled nurse injectors will then strategically inject BOTOX into your facial skin using a fine needle, targeting the areas where you’re looking to eliminate lines and wrinkles.

After your BOTOX treatment is finished, you should be able to immediately return home or go back to work.

Is Any Recovery Required After BOTOX Treatment?

You'll be glad to know that BOTOX treatment requires little to no recovery time. After the procedure, you can resume your daily activities immediately. However, there are a few things to keep in mind to ensure the best results and avoid any complications.

It's normal to experience some redness, swelling, and bruising at the injection site, but these symptoms usually subside within a few hours to a few days. To minimize these side effects, avoid touching or rubbing the treated area and avoid strenuous exercise for the first 24 hours after treatment.

You should also avoid lying down for at least four hours after treatment and avoid wearing tight-fitting hats or headbands for the first few hours. Additionally, avoid consuming alcohol, aspirin, or any blood-thinning medication for at least 24 hours after treatment to reduce the risk of bruising.

Who Is a Good Candidate for BOTOX?

BOTOX is typically a great treatment option for adults who are looking to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. BOTOX could be right for you if you’d like to achieve smoother, more youthful-looking facial skin with a quick, non-invasive treatment.

To be an ideal candidate for BOTOX, you’ll also need to meet the following requirements:

  • Have realistic expectations
  • Be in good overall physical health
  • Not be currently pregnant or nursing
  • Have no active skin infections near the treatment area
  • Have no allergies to botulinum toxin type A or other BOTOX ingredients
