One thing you ought to know is that you will not see results from your Botox injections immediately. Typically, it takes three days to begin seeing results, and the full effect of the Botox treatment is visible after approximately ten days.

You can continue with your day as normal after your Botox treatment; you can still drive and go to work. However, it is important that you avoid rubbing or washing your face, participating in vigorous exercise, taking aspirin or ibuprofen, drinking alcohol or sunbathing for at least 24 hours after your Botox injections.

Typically, the effects of a Botox treatment last for three to four months, though they can potentially last for up to six months.

Typically, you won’t feel uncomfortable during your Botox injections, as the treatment is performed using a very fine needle. In most cases, patients do not require any anaesthesia, though a numbing cream may be used if the patient has a sensitive skin.

In most cases, a Botox treatment has no side effects. However, it is common to experience mild swelling at the injection site, redness, itching and sometimes bruising. Typically, these symptoms will disappear within two weeks.

As with any medicine, it is possible to have an allergic response, though this is quite rare. If the Botox injections are administered incorrectly, it is possible to experience scarring, blurred vision, partial vision loss and even blindness.

Thus, if you are contemplating a Botox treatment, it is crucial that you choose an experienced and qualified medical practitioner.

It takes approximately three to four months for the effects of a Botox treatment to disappear. After this, you should wait for at least three months before you have Botox injections again.
