You might primarily associate Botox® with its ability to reduce facial wrinkles, but did you know it’s also an effective treatment for migraines, neck spasms, excessive sweating, overactive bladder and lazy eye? These injections help control muscle movement temporarily. Whether you’re suffering from one of these conditions or are interested in Botox’s cosmetic uses, the Spartanburg-Greer ENT & Allergy facial aesthetics team is dedicated to helping you alleviate discomforting symptoms or rejuvenate your appearance.
How Popular Is Botox?
According to statistics from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, Botox injections are the most popular minimally invasive cosmetic procedure.
How Does Botox Work?
Botox injections consists of a purified form of the botulinum toxin and has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for use by licensed health care providers.
Botox blocks signals from the nerves to the muscles, which prevents them from contracting. This causes wrinkles to soften and relax.
The procedure is performed in a medical office, and you can expect to return home the same day. Our providers will explain every step of the process to you beforehand, so you know what to expect.
What Happens After the Procedure?
It can take up to a week for Botox’s full results to be visible, and depending on the specific condition treated, the effect can last up to four months. The injections will need to be repeated about three months apart to maintain effectiveness.
Botox treatment requires expert handling due to its potential risks if administered incorrectly. At Spartanburg-Greer ENT & Allergy, we prioritize your safety. Our board-certified providers will ensure the procedure’s suitability for you and its safe execution so you can look and feel your best.
