Botulinum Toxin Injections Q&A

What are botulinum toxin injections?

Botulinum toxin injections are a family of neurotoxin that can temporarily freeze muscles when applied in a carefully controlled dose. This makes it effective for treating dynamic wrinkles or wrinkles that form because of repeated facial expressions. 

How do Botulinum toxin injections work?

Botulinum injections treat dynamic wrinkles or wrinkles that form because a muscle in your face is continually contracting and relaxing. Over time, that ongoing action causes a wrinkle in your skin. These injections can address:

  • Forehead lines
  • Frown lines
  • Crow’s feet

On the day of your treatment, your Alure Wellness provider injects an extremely small amount of botulinum toxin into the muscle that’s responsible for your wrinkle. The toxin temporarily freezes the muscle, relaxing its contractions and the skin over it. Shortly after treatment, the skin above the muscle smooths, clearing fine lines and wrinkles. 

The team at Alure Wellness has extensive experience applying botulinum njections. They can help you determine the right amount of Botox and the proper placement of each injection to turn back the clock while still protecting your face’s expressiveness. 

What should I expect during and after my injections?

Once you and your provider decide where you want your injections, the actual injection process takes just minutes. Most people report minimal discomfort during treatment because it’s so quick, and the needle used is so small. 

Botulinum toxin injections come with absolutely no downtime. You can get your treatment and resume your day as usual. 

The results usually last around three months. When your results start to fade, and your wrinkles return, you can head back to Alure Wellness for a quick, convenient touch-up treatment.
