Can BOTOX be used preventatively in my 20s or early 30s?
Yes. Preventative BOTOX is popular among younger adults who want to delay the onset of fine lines. By softening facial muscle movement early, BOTOX helps reduce the depth of expression lines before they become permanent.
How soon will I see results after BOTOX injections?
Most patients begin to notice visible results within 3 to 5 days, with full effects developing by 10 to 14 days. Results may vary depending on the treatment area and your body’s natural response.
Will I look “frozen” or lose facial expression after BOTOX?
When performed by a skilled provider like Dr. Shermak, BOTOX smooths lines while preserving your natural expressions. Her conservative, artistic approach avoids the “frozen” look, ensuring results appear balanced and subtle.
What is the difference between BOTOX and Dysport?
Both are FDA-approved neuromodulators used to reduce wrinkles by relaxing facial muscles. Key differences include:
- Speed: Dysport may show results slightly faster than BOTOX.
- Spread: Dysport diffuses more easily, making it ideal for larger areas like the forehead.
- Units: The two use different unit measurements, but offer similar longevity (typically 3–4 months).
What other concerns can BOTOX treat?
Beyond reducing facial wrinkles, BOTOX is FDA-approved to treat several medical and cosmetic concerns, including:
- Excessive underarm sweating (hyperhidrosis)
- Chronic migraine headaches
- Jaw tension and teeth grinding (TMJ disorders)
- Neck banding (platysmal bands)
- Lip flip for a fuller upper lip appearance
Is there any downside to the treatment?
The only downside comes when BOTOX injections are performed by someone without adequate professional experience and certification, as sometimes happens in unregulated med spas. While it is a simple procedure, administering BOTOX requires a high degree of precision and artistry. This prevents unwanted side effects and points towards a final result that appears both beautiful and natural.
