Botox in Brooklyn Park

Botox belongs to a special type of medication called neuromodulators or wrinkle relaxers. These medicines work by blocking nerve signals to your muscles.This temporarily prevents facial and neck muscles from contracting, which relaxes the skin around them to smooth out wrinkles.

At our practice, we use the wrinkle relaxer brands Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin. Each brand works using the same principles, but they have different applications where they are most effective.

Depending on your individual needs, our aesthetic experts will make their professional recommendations on which brand may be right for you.

You won’t need to do any major preparation before your appointment, but you should follow these steps to make sure that you get the best results from Botox in Brooklyn Park.

Refrain from taking blood-thinning or anti-inflammatory medications like aspirin or ibuprofen if approved by your physician. You should also stop smoking or consuming alcohol for several days before your session, as this can interfere with your results.

It’s important to keep your skin healthy and free from irritation in the days before your session. Avoid harsh exfoliating treatments, waxing and chemical peels, in the weeks leading up to your session.

Finally, make sure to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water in the days before your session.

After receiving your Botox injections, it’s important to minimize the physical stress around the treatment area so the medication has time to provide the best results. After your session, you should continue to avoid blood thinners (if appropriate) and alcohol for several days.

We also advise that you avoid lying down for the next 4 hours, and exercising or sweating for the next 24 hours. Don’t receive any compressive treatments on the area such as facials or massages, and don’t wear hats while Botox takes effect.

Yes, we will ensure that your results are natural and tailored to your goals. Our board-certified director will ask about your specific concerns to determine the amount and placement of Botox. Then, our director will carefully administer Botox to safely and effectively rejuvenate your look.
