Patient Journey: Botox Cosmetic®

Facebook

LinkedIn

Botox is a popular treatment among men and women that uses a small dose of botulinum toxins to block the chemical signals which cause the muscles to contract. By preventing muscle contractions, Botox smooths wrinkles, improves facial symmetry, and treats certain medical conditions like migraines and muscle spasms.

The Botox journey at Stadia Med Spa starts with a free consultation and ends with post-treatment care and results. At Stadia Med Spa, we know that facts and statistics only get you so far when choosing a new cosmetic procedure.

Eventually, you get to the point in your decision-making process where all you want to know is – What does Botox feel like? What can I expect for results? And how long will my Botox results last?

Keep reading to learn more about the Botox journey at Stadia Med Spa, including real client feedback to help you prepare for your upcoming treatment.

Step 1: Stadia Med Spa Consultation

The Botox journey at Stadia Med Spa begins with a free consultation. During your consultation, your provider will tell you about the treatment, review your goals, and answer any questions about the procedure.

  • Melanie K: My first time doing Botox, I was a little nervous, but my Stadia provider took the time to explain the treatment and make sure I was comfortable before we started. Their confidence and professionalism put me at ease and made the whole treatment a lot more enjoyable.

Take advantage of the free consultation to prepare yourself for the procedure. Come with clear objectives so your provider can give you realistic expectations.

  • Beth M: You need a professional for Botox to look natural. I’ve been really happy with all of my experiences at Stadia. Everyone I’ve worked with was extremely professional and easy to talk to. And I like that they use minimal injections to help you meet your goals.

How do I know if Botox is right for me?

Botox injections help smooth out the dynamic wrinkles on your face. Dynamic wrinkles are those caused by repetitive muscle contractions, like smile wrinkles or the line between your eyebrows. The botulinum toxins temporarily prevent your muscles from contracting and make your face appear smoother.

Many people only know the aesthetic uses for Botox, but the injections also have many medical uses.

“Botox is an effective treatment for medical conditions like muscle spasms, excessive sweating, an overactive bladder, and more. Another common use for Botox is to prevent and treat migraines. Studies have shown that Botox for migraines can reduce the severity and frequency of your headaches.”

Step 2: The Treatment

After your consultation comes the Botox treatment. Many first-time Botox users are anxious about the injections and how they will feel afterward.

You may need several injections for each treatment, depending on your goals and what you are treating. At Stadia Med Spa, your provider will only use the minimum number of injections for the most natural-looking results. Too much or too little Botox can affect your aesthetic outcome and create an unnatural appearance.

You should always choose a skilled and experienced healthcare provider for your Botox treatment. Improper administration can lead to a frozen expression, uneven results, and facial drooping.

Does Botox Hurt?

No, Botox doesn’t hurt. Most patients only feel a quick pinprick or sting. Botox needles are very fine, and discomfort is minimal.

For more sensitive areas, a topical numbing cream is applied to the treatment area, which can help with any potential discomfort. You should be able to return to your normal activities directly after your treatment.

  • Devon S: I love Botox. I get injections for my crow’s feet, between my eyebrows, and for my forehead lines. Botox smooths everything out within a week and lasts 3 to 4 months without looking frozen or dramatic.
  • Jessica L: I get Botox injections in my armpits to stop excessive sweating and it works so well! It’s been four months and it’s just now starting to wear off. A little pinch and I don’t have to worry about pit stains. Totally worth it.

What To Do After Botox for Best Results

You can return to your routine directly after your Botox injections, but you need to follow all of Stadia Med Spa’s post-treatment instructions for the best results.

Post-treatment instructions include not rubbing or massaging the area to prevent migration, staying out of direct sunlight, and keeping the area upright.

Step 3: Botox Results

Botox results aren’t permanent and last about three or four months.

You will have to wait several days to see the full results of your Botox treatment. However, many people notice their results right away! The treatment area will continue to become smoother and more relaxed in the two weeks after your treatment.

What Results to Expect from Botox

Botox results will vary based on what you are treating. At Stadia Med Spa, your provider will strive for the most natural-looking aesthetic results. A conservative approach is often crucial for first-time Botox users.

  • Larry G: I have deep horizontal lines on my forehead, but Botox makes them disappear. The results last about four months. It doesn’t hurt, it’s reasonably priced, and it’s well worth it!
  • Susie F: I felt like I always looked tired or angry, so I got Botox to smooth out my facial expressions. I love how it looks even if it’s weird to not be able to move my face like I used to! Would definitely recommend.

Patients often return for more Botox as the results will continue to improve over time. First-time Botox injections last the least amount of time. As the muscles relax, your results will improve!
