Treat Fine Lines and Wrinkles With BOTOX® Cosmetic

At Rise Wellness Lounge, we love the BOTOX®: As the first and only FDA-approved treatment to temporarily reduce and diminish fine lines and wrinkles, BOTOX® is designed for anyone who wants to refresh their looks without invasive procedures. Not only will your injections target current lines and wrinkles, they may also prevent new lines from forming!

• Reduce and soften fine lines and wrinkles
• Relax smile lines and wrinkles on the lower portion of the face.
• Prevent new lines from forming on the face and neck.
• Although not permanent, BOTOX® stay effective for up to 4 months!

The candidate range for Botox is larger, in part, because the procedure is both temporary and reversible. There is a good chance you’re a good candidate for Botox, especially if you’re beginning to near the age of 30, when the skin has completely stopped producing new collagen and the collagen volume of the face begins to thin. If you have dynamic wrinkles (wrinkles that appear when smiling or lifting your forehead) then Botox® may be the right treatment for you. Not only does Botox® help reduce the wrinkles you currently have, but it also helps prevent wrinkles from forming.

Absolutely! BOTOX® can be an ideal treatment for men and women of all ages who want to prevent or reduce existing fine lines and wrinkles. Thanks to the long-lasting results, men are becoming more open to the idea of receiving anti-aging treatments

BOTOX® is a neuromodulator. A neuromodulator is a messenger released from a neuron that affects other neurons and the muscles that the neuron is in control of. This injectable treatment is used to temporarily reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. These injections temporarily block signals from the nerves to the muscles. This works to prevent and reduce facial expressions that cause wrinkles and fine lines. It also keeps new lines and wrinkles from forming!

You can trust BOTOX^® to deliver natural-looking results. BOTOX® is a non-invasive injectable treatment used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines temporarily. These injections temporarily block signals from the nerves to the muscles.   This works to prevent and reduce facial expressions that cause wrinkles and fine lines. It also keeps new lines and wrinkles from forming! So you’ll look like yourself—only with less noticeable lines. No one should be able to tell you’ve had anything done.

At Rise Wellness Lounge, this is what you can expect during your visit:

• Consultation: Similar to other medical procedures, your provider will take time before your session to discuss your problem areas, as well as your medical history, to ensure BOTOX® treatment is the right option for you. Additionally, your provider may take photos of the area(s) receiving treatment. These photos will be used to show you your before and after transformation!
• Preparation: Your provider will prepare the specific amount of BOTOX® to be injected into your treatment areas. They will also offer to apply a topical anesthetic, cryotherapy, or vibration anesthesia to minimize any discomfort during your injections.
• Pre-Injection: Once your injections are ready, your practitioner will ask you to perform a range of facial movements, such as smiling, frowning, or squinting. After they observe your facial expressions, taking note of the fine lines and wrinkles in your treatment area(s), the injector will mark the specific areas on your face and neck to be treated. This will serve as their guide when it comes time to administer your injections.
• Injection Time: Once your treatment areas are marked, your injector will use a small needle to inject the BOTOX® below your skin. 
• Post-Procedure: Typically, BOTOX® injections can be performed in as little as 15 to 30 minutes. After your injections, we recommend you avoid exercising or laying down for 4 hours after treatments.

Our injections use a tiny, 31 gauge needle and for the most part, is a painless procedure. However, some of our clients experience a minor, tolerable sting. Not to worry! We can apply a topical anesthetic before your treatment to ensure you have a comfortable experience!

Your treatment at Rise Wellness Lounge with BOTOX^® is customized to your goals and needs. When you meet with your provider, they will determine the appropriate treatment for any areas you wish to address, including moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines. 

Some Examples Of The Most Commonly Treated Areas:

• For the crow’s feet area, your provider will inject 3 areas of the muscle that frame the side of the eye. This will be repeated on the muscle that frames the other eye.
• For the frown lines area, your provider will administer 5 injections into the muscles between your brows and in your forehead.
• For the forehead lines area, your specialist will administer 5 injections into a muscle in your forehead.

Prior to your appointment, Avoid blood thinning medications such as aspirin, ibuprofen, garlic, ginger, ginkgo biloba, and vitamin E up to 2 weeks prior to treatment to reduce the risk of bruising. Plan to exercise before your appointment or wait at least 4 hours after your appointment.

For about 15 minutes after your treatment, you may become slightly swollen and red at the injection sites. This is perfectly normal. In some cases, clients experience mild bruising, which can last between 2 to 7 days. After your injections, we recommend you refrain from exercising or lying down for 4 hours after treatments. 

At Rise Wellness Lounge, Your Provider will provide detailed BOTOX® aftercare instructions so you’re sure to experience the full effect and benefit from your treatment. Here are a few things to keep in mind before returning to your normal activities.:

• Ice is Okay: Some people experience swelling and discomfort around injection sites. You can safely apply a cold compress on treated areas to relieve discomfort and minimize swelling. However, don’t put pressure on the cold compress. Just gently lay the compress on the swelling. Slight bruising and swelling near injection sites are commonly reported side effects of BOTOX® injections that diminish within 48 hours after treatment. Taking NSAIDs or applying heat to  swollen injection areas would not only worsen discomfort, it could cause migration.  This is strongly advised against.
• Exercise Your Face: About an hour after you receive BOTOX® injections, exercise your facial muscles by frowning, squinting, smiling, and raising your eyebrows for 30 seconds. Repeat these exercises several times throughout the day to help the BOTOX® solution infiltrate targeted muscles. However, be aware that you don’t have to exercise your face to get the same great results from BOTOX®. Moving facial muscles and performing recommended facial exercises may simply expedite the reduced appearance of wrinkles and fine lines by approximately 1 day.
• Wait A Few Days Before Heading Back To The Gym: Once your injections are ready, your practitioner will ask you to perform a range of facial movements, such as smiling, frowning, or squinting. After they observe your facial expressions, taking note of the fine lines and wrinkles in your treatment area(s), the injector will mark the specific areas on your face and neck to be treated. This will serve as their guide when it comes time to administer your injections.
• Injection Time: Once your treatment areas are marked, your injector will use a small needle to inject the BOTOX® below your skin. 
• Post-Procedure: Typically, BOTOX® injections can be performed in as little as 15 to 30 minutes. After your injections, we recommend you avoid exercising or laying down for 4 hours after treatments.

The average person using recommended amounts of Botox will see results last 3-4 months, occasionally lasting as long as 6 months.
