Botox® is typically used to help people look and feel youthful, refreshed, and confident. Treatments can reduce the appearance of current wrinkles, while also helping to hold off lines and furrows for a longer time than without treatment.
But what is Botox® and what can be expected?
How Does Botox® Work?
Botox® works by blocking signals from your nerves that tell muscles to contract. If your muscles can’t contract, lines and furrows in your skin cannot develop or deepen. Botox® works on dynamic wrinkles that appear during muscle movement. Examples of dynamic wrinkles are crow’s feet that appear when you squint your eyes or smile or lines on your forehead when you raise your eyebrows.
Does Botox® Hurt?
Botox® injections are quite small with little more than a slight prick felt. If you have little tolerance for discomfort, let your injector know and they can help you manage. The injections are also very quick which reduces your chances of feeling much at all.
How Long Does Botox® Last?
A common is “how long does Botox® last?”. While it varies, most people will continue to see the effects of Botox® treatments for four to six months. If it is your first time receiving Botox®, you may notice that the effects fade slightly sooner than the typical four to six months. For most people, the second treatment shows a longer-lasting effect.
What can I Expect After my Appointment?
Botox® treatments require little to no downtime which is why it is a favoured aging intervention although there are some precautions and lifestyle adjustments needed. It’s recommended to avoid excessive exercise or sweating for the first 24 hours while also avoiding touching your face, or applying anything to the injected parts of your skin.

What’s the Ideal age to Start Using Botox®?
There really is no ideal age but Botox® is most helpful when fine lines are just starting to appear. On average fine lines begin in the mid-to-late 20s or early 30s. Starting Botox® around this age range can help prevent deeper lines from developing, helping you to retain your youthful look for longer.
Botox® vs Newtox (also called Jeuveau®)
Botox® has been used for years to treat wrinkles and facial creases. Jeuveau® is simply another form of the compound that has made people look younger for decades. For this reason, Jeuveau® is sometimes called Newtox (New Botox).
The two treatments are rather similar, but Newtox is used only for cosmetic treatments, while Botox® is also used for medical conditions. As with most products that have had success, competitive brands are bound to exist.
