Botox is a purified form of botulinum toxin derived from naturally occurring bacteria. It is a popular injectable treatment that temporarily relaxes muscles by blocking nerve signals. While it was first approved for medical purposes, Botox has become widely known for its cosmetic use in reducing the appearance of facial wrinkles and fine lines. The treatment works by preventing muscles from contracting, which helps smooth out the skin above these muscles. Botox is administered through tiny injections, and its effects typically last for three to four months before gradually wearing off.
Before receiving Botox treatment, patients undergo a thorough consultation with Dr. Metzinger. During this meeting, he reviews the patient’s medical history, current medications, and any existing health conditions. Dr. Metzinger also examines facial muscle movement patterns and develops a personalized injection plan. Patients are typically advised to avoid blood-thinning medications, including aspirin and certain supplements, for at least a week before the procedure to minimize bruising. Alcohol consumption must be limited in the days leading up to treatment, and patients should arrive with a clean face free of makeup. Photographs are often taken to document the pre-Botox appearance and assist in tracking results.
This minimally invasive treatment uses tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, triggering the body’s natural healing response and collagen production. During the procedure, a specialized device with fine needles creates thousands of microscopic channels in the skin’s surface, promoting skin rejuvenation and improving texture, scarring, and overall complexion. The treatment can be enhanced with serums and growth factors that penetrate deeper into the skin through these tiny channels.
