Botox Before and After: What Results Can You Expect in Islamabad
Home Botox Before and After: What Results Can You Expect in Islamabad
Botox can help reduce wrinkles and make your face look more youthful and relaxed, without any surgery. The treatment does not rejuvenate your face instantly, however, and will not get rid of all wrinkles.
Understanding Botox before and after results can help you make an informed decision. The outcome depends on your facial muscles, skin condition, treatment area, dose and injector’s procedure. At Enfield Royal Clinic Islamabad patients are treated on a basis and a check of their facial condition is made before treatment in F-7, Islamabad, Pakistan.
What Does Botox Do?
Injectable botulinum toxin that temporarily relaxes specific facial muscles. These muscles form the lines that appear when you smile, frown, squirt or raise your eyebrows.
Botox injections can help to smooth out wrinkles without flattening the other parts of the face, which is known as dynamic wrinkles. Treatments include:
- Horizontal forehead lines
- Select frown lines between the eyebrows.
- Hands under the eyes (crows feet)
- Bunny lines are found on the nose.
- Chin dimpling
- Downturned mouth corners
- Jaw muscles
- Neck bands
Botox is no dermal filler. Fillers plump up and Botox relaxes muscles which create expression lines.
What To Expect Before Botox Treatment?
Your appointment should not be a time of injections, but rather a time of medical consultation. The practitioner must be familiar with your facial movement, the medical history and your concerns. Some of the assessment may involve smiling, frowning or raising the eyebrows. This will help the physician determine which muscles are responsible for the wrinkles. Discuss with aesthetic physician:
- Medicines and supplements you take
- Previous reactions or allergies
- Earlier Botox or filler treatments
- Muscle or nerve disorders.
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding
- Recent facial procedures
- Your preferred level of movement
There is a need for communication. Some patients seek very smooth skin, others may prefer to see some expression with the Botox treatment.
Botox Results Phase
Botox works gradually. It’s not likely that you will walk out of the clinic with your final outcome in sight.
| Time After Treatment | What You May Notice? |
| First 24 hours | Small bumps, redness or tenderness may occur |
| Days 2 to 4 | Early muscle relaxation may begin |
| Days 5 to 7 | Expression lines often start looking softer |
| Days 10 to 14 | The full cosmetic effect |
| Months 3 to 4 | Muscle movement gradually begins returning |
| After 4 months | A maintenance session may be considered |
How Will Your Botox Before and After Difference Be?
Lines can also show up before treatment, on your face when you make facial movements. There may also be some wrinkles in the rest position of your face. Once Botox works, there is less muscle contraction. This can create a more relaxed, plump and supple skin texture above them. Possible improvements include:
- Softer forehead creases
- Minimises vertical lines of concern
- Minimal crow’s feet ageing signs.
- A more relaxed look to the face
- More smooth skin at the time of breastfeeding
- Proper use of selected facial muscles
Botox tends to be most effective at treating dynamic wrinkles that occur with facial movements. Deep lines that do not go away at rest will likely get better, but may not clear.
How Long Do Botox Results Last?
Typically, the results from cosmetic Botox last anywhere from 3 to 4 months. A shorter or longer duration is noticed by some patients. The duration of Botox effects can vary depending on:
- Strength of the treated muscles
- Number of units used
- Treatment area
- Individual metabolism
- Previous Botox treatments
- Facial movement
- Injection technique
The effects fade gradually. Facial movement returns first, followed by the slow reappearance of expression lines. Botox does not permanently alter the muscles. Maintenance treatments may be planned after movement returns, but injections should not be repeated earlier than advised by our doctor.
Will Botox Make Your Face Look Frozen?
The purpose of well-planned treatment is NOT to appear as if frozen. It can happen when too much product is administered, or when facial balance is not taken into account when injections are given.
An aesthetic doctor has the ability to check the interaction of various muscles. The goal is typically to smooth out unnecessary lines while still keeping all of the expressions.
