Eminence Medical Aesthetics offers BOTOX® Cosmetic in Princeton, NJ. This is a client favorite for the safe and quick elimination of moderate to severe wrinkles and facial creases and can help improve a number of other “specialty areas”. During your consultation, one of our experienced clinical injectors will assess your needs and recommend the dose appropriate for your specific anatomy and desired look. We also encourage coming in for a follow up appointment (10-14 days post treatment) to assess and if necessary, touch up your BOTOX®, to ensure you are 100% satisfied with your results. BOTOX® injections take only a few minutes to administer and are fairly painless. The full effects from BOTOX® can be seen within two weeks and last from 3 to 5 months. As muscle action slowly returns, the lines and wrinkles begin to gradually reappear and need to be treated again, but will appear less severe over time due to less activity. Therefore, starting with a lighter dose at a younger age is recommended to prevent and slow the formation of deeper lines that are more difficult to correct.

*Disclaimer: individual results may vary.
Botox Cosmetic is an FDA-approved prescription medication that is injected into the muscle to improve moderate to severe wrinkles and/or to reduce excessive sweating*. It is one of the safest, nonsurgical wrinkle reduction procedures offered in the cosmetic industry. Botox Cosmetic consists of purified proteins produced by the Clostridium Botulinum bacterium and works by temporarily reducing the contractions of the muscles and reducing the appearance of the dynamic wrinkles and lines.
People who are best suited for Botox are usually between 25 and 65 years of age. The amount of Botox needed is based on each individuals anatomy, age and overall goals. Starting with a lighter dose at a younger age is recommended to prevent and slow the formation of deeper lines. Any person looking to receive a Botox treatment should book a complimentary consultation appointment at Eminence Medical Aesthetics to learn more.
Botox can be injected where lines and wrinkles are present. Most people generally get Botox in parts of the face that have the most wrinkles, such as the forehead and around the eyes. Botox works well for these areas of skin because they are more dynamic. However, there are specialty uses for Botox as well, including for excess sweating, jaw tension/slimming, gummy smile, dimpled chin, smoker lines and more.
During the Botox treatment, small amounts of medication are injected into the skin using a single use syringe. This process is usually quick, lasting no more than a few minutes (the consultation portion lasts longer than the actual treatment!) The needle that is used to inject the Botox solution is very tiny so that the patient will experience very little discomfort. Patients who receive Botox usually describe the feeling as a pressure like sensation that typically goes away fairly quickly. In fact, some patients do not experience any pain at all. Since the procedure is relatively quick and painless, people usually resume their normal activities immediately after the injections.
Since its approval for use at the start of the 21st century, millions of people around the world have turned to BOTOX® as a safe and effective way to minimize wrinkles and take years of their face! BOTOX® has been thoroughly tested by regulatory agencies around the world. It received a resounding approval from the FDA. The fact that it has been used on millions of individuals attests to its safety and reliability. The side effects of Botox are usually rare, however, some patients have reported experiencing pain at the injection site. Other known side effects include swelling, redness, inflammation, slight bleeding and rarely, post injection bruising.
Botox generally take anywhere from 3 to 14 days to reach their full effect. However, this process can usually be sped up by flexing your facial muscles after the injections are complete. Optimal effects of Botox usually last approximately three months and then begin to slowly subside. Repeat treatment is recommended quarterly for lasting results.
Having just one treatment of Botox is usually enough to improve the appearance of your skin. With just the first treatment, your skin will begin to look younger and more relaxed. It is recommended that you get continuous treatments for sustained results. On average, a patient will receive Botox injection treatments every 3-5 months, in order to retain their youthful look.
Unless there are complications with the procedure, there is normally no downtime following Botox. You should avoid strenuous exercise, heavy lifting/ rigorous work, extreme temperatures and rubbing the site of the injection within 12 hours of getting Botox.
When the treatment begins to wear off you will start to notice the gradual reappearance of wrinkles. Depending on how many Botox treatments you have had and what dosage, the lines may be far less noticeable than before. In order to avoid the effects of the treatment wearing off, you should consider routine treatments.
