While many patients will qualify to receive a Botox\u00ae procedure, the treatment does have several contraindications which may mean you will need to consider other options to remedy your fine lines and wrinkles. If you have previously or currently suffer from any of the following issues, Botox\u00ae might not be right for you. These issues include Lou Gehrig\u2019s Disease; peripheral nerve disorder; myasthenia gravis (an autoimmune muscle condition); double vision or blurred vision; general, pre-existing difficulty breathing or swallowing; or bladder control issues.<\/p>
Botox\u00ae side effects are relatively rare. If for any of these reasons you cannot have Botox\u00ae, our doctors will work with you to find the right treatment for your aging signs and will do everything possible to help improve your concern areas. Some options available to you in this instance could include dermal fillers, such as Juv\u00e9derm, or laser treatments, such as Halo, which can help reduce and minimize wrinkles and restart your skin\u2019s natural collagen production, leading to long-lasting and natural rejuvenation.<\/p>","name":"Can anyone have a Botox\u00ae procedure?

You may see results immediately following your Botox\u00ae injections. However, for most patients, results will usually develop in the days which follow your procedure. The outcome of your Botox\u00ae procedure should become fully visible within about a week after your treatment. Your refreshed, more youthful appearance, however, will continue to develop for three to four more months. It will be necessary to schedule periodic follow-ups to receive more Botox\u00ae injections to maintain your results. If you continue to follow the Botox\u00ae regimen recommended by our doctors, you should be able to enjoy long-lasting results without the need for more invasive procedures. The benefits of a Botox\u00ae treatment often far outweigh Botox\u00ae cost.<\/p>","name":"What results can I expect after Botox\u00ae?

Botox\u00ae is given through a series of injections that deliver a prescription medication \u2014 called a \u201cneuromodulator\u201d \u2014 into facial muscles. The neuromodulator causes these muscles to relax, minimizing and, in many cases, eliminating these dynamic wrinkles since they are produced primarily by the contraction of these muscles.","howPerformed":"On the day of your appointment, our doctors will sit you comfortably in the procedure room and cleanse all areas where you will receive the Botox\u00ae injections. Depending on the injection sites and your general level of sensitivity, you may have topical anesthetic administered to you to make the treatment more comfortable. Anesthesia is optional if for any reason you do not wish to be numbed during your procedure. Most patients choose not to have anesthesia and remain very comfortable throughout their Botox\u00ae treatment. The Botox\u00ae injections themselves also take very little time to perform. Using a thin needle, our doctors will inject precisely predetermined amounts of the neuromodulator into the muscles surrounding your concern areas. The number of injections you will require entirely depends on the existing condition of your skin and the amount of rejuvenation you wish to see.","preparation":"In addition to being a very fast procedure, a Botox\u00ae treatment is also a very easy procedure to have. In fact, you will not need to take any special steps before having your Botox\u00ae procedure. ","followup":"After your injections, you may leave our office and immediately return to your normal activities, and you will have no special instructions to follow post-treatment. You may experience some mild swelling or bruising around the injection sites, but these side effects typically subside within a matter of hours.","name":"BOTOX\u00ae COSMETIC","url":"https:\/\/www.licksteinplasticsurgery.com\/non-surgical\/botox\/","areaServed":[{"@type":"City","url":"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jupiter,_Florida","name":"Jupiter ","@id":"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jupiter,_Florida"},{"@type":"City","url":"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Palm_Beach_Gardens,_Florida","name":"Palm Beach Gardens ","@id":"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Palm_Beach_Gardens,_Florida"},{"@type":"City","url":"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Port_St._Lucie,_Florida","name":"Port St. Lucie","@id":"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Port_St._Lucie,_Florida"},{"@type":"City","url":"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/West_Palm_Beach,_Florida","name":"West Palm Beach ","@id":"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/West_Palm_Beach,_Florida"}],"brand":[{"@type":"Brand","name":"DAXI","@id":"https:\/\/www.licksteinplasticsurgery.com\/non-surgical\/botox\/#BrandDAXI"},{"@type":"Brand","name":"DYSPORT\u00ae","@id":"https:\/\/www.licksteinplasticsurgery.com\/non-surgical\/botox\/#BrandDysport"},{"@type":"Brand","name":"JEUVEAU\u00ae","@id":"https:\/\/www.licksteinplasticsurgery.com\/non-surgical\/botox\/#BrandJEUVEAU"},{"@type":"Brand","name":"XEOMIN\u00ae","@id":"https:\/\/www.licksteinplasticsurgery.com\/non-surgical\/botox\/#BrandXEOMIN"}],"image":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/www.licksteinplasticsurgery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/botox-cosmetic.jpg","height":"548","width":"640","@id":"https:\/\/www.licksteinplasticsurgery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/botox-cosmetic.jpg"},"@id":"https:\/\/www.licksteinplasticsurgery.com\/non-surgical\/botox\/"}
