Botox is one of the fastest and most effective ways to reduce the appearance of facial lines and wrinkles and can be done in a quick appointment requiring very little downtime. In fact, studies have consistently shown that Botox treatment leads to high levels of patient satisfaction. While Botox is a great way to improve your appearance, it can also be expensive. It pays to know how to maximize your results.

Here are tips to get the best Botox results.                          

Choose Your Botox Practitioner Wisely

When deciding to get Botox, you need to find a practitioner who deeply understands facial anatomy, listens closely to their patients, and takes a more conservative approach when injecting. It is always possible to add a bit more Botox later if needed, but if you are given too much Botox you will have to wait months for it to wear off.

Be sure to look at before and after photos on your injector's website and read reviews from customers. You are looking for an injector who provides noticeable results that still look natural. 

Know What to Avoid Afterward

While Botox is a non-surgical procedure with minimal downtime, there are a few things to do afterward to maximize your results. Most doctors recommend that you avoid strenuous exercise or high heat (such as from a sauna or hot tub) for several hours after your appointment. You will also want to avoid anti-inflammatory medication such as ibuprofen.

Avoiding these things until the day after your appointment will allow your Botox to settle correctly and prevent bruising and swelling.

Have a Follow-Up Appointment

While you will start to see the results of your Botox within a few days of your treatment, it can take up to 10 days or so for the full results to be evident. Once your Botox has fully kicked in, it's important to have a follow-up appointment, especially if you've never had Botox before. Your Botox injector will look at your before pictures and compare them to your results.

They will also ask specific questions to make sure you are happy with the results. In some cases, they will add a bit more Botox to ensure your results are exactly what you asked for.

Getting Botox can help you look younger and give a boost to your self-esteem. By following the tips in this blog post, you will help ensure the best results from your Botox treatment.
