BOTOX in New Orleans

As skin ages, lines and creases develop on the face, leading to a loss of volume and youthful appeal. At SANDS Aesthetics + Plastic Surgery, Dr. Sands offers BOTOX in New Orleans to address these concerns and provide a subtle revitalization without the need for surgery or downtime.

What is BOTOX?

BOTOX is an FDA-approved injectable treatment designed to relax muscles in specific areas of the face temporarily. Made from a low dose of botulinum toxin, BOTOX smooths the skin to achieve a more youthful appearance. It helps prevent signs of aging and can reverse existing wrinkles, serving as a proactive measure against future aging indicators.

What are the Benefits of BOTOX?

BOTOX offers a range of benefits in treating visible facial lines and wrinkles, including:

Smoothing frown lines on the forehead
Softening the "11s" lines between the eyebrows
Minimizing crow’s feet and lines around the eyes
Lifting the eyebrows for a more youthful appearance
Reducing marionette lines from the mouth to the chin
Diminishing bunny lines around the nose
Smoothing lip lines for a more defined smile
Correcting a downturned mouth
Softening nasolabial wrinkles from the corners of the mouth
Improving a dimpled chin
Addressing a gummy smile
Treating platysmal bands around the neck

Am I a Good Candidate for BOTOX?

You may be a good candidate for BOTOX if you have laugh lines, wrinkles, lost volume, or other signs of aging. Most individuals who wish to reverse or prevent wrinkles and lines are eligible for Botox in New Orleans. During your consultation, Dr. Sands will evaluate your needs and discuss the available options to help you achieve your cosmetic goals. Generally, candidates should be over 18 years old, in good health, free of skin infections or outbreaks in the treatment area, not pregnant, and not allergic to BOTOX ingredients. Additionally, individuals with no history of neuromuscular diseases are typically considered suitable candidates.

I cannot thank Michelle enough. I saw her just 4 days ago for botox and all the wrinkles I had are gone. My main concern was the asymmetry of my jaw and eyebrows. She was ever so conservative and fixed it so well. My eyebrows look perfectly aligned and this masks really well a concern I always had with protruding eyes from Thyroid disease. This was my first time getting Botox for wrinkles and aesthetic purposes so I was pretty nervous. She was quick and patient with my needle phobia. I am loving my results so early on and will be back for maintenance.

What to Expect from the Procedure

BOTOX injections are meticulously targeted at specific facial muscles to induce relaxation, resulting in smoother, wrinkle-free skin. This minimally invasive procedure is often convenient enough to be completed during a lunch break, offering minimal discomfort for most patients. During the treatment, a fine needle is used to inject BOTOX directly into the targeted muscles, where it blocks nerve signals responsible for muscle contraction. This action temporarily reduces the appearance of wrinkles in the treated area, typically lasting several months before maintenance injections may be needed to sustain results. Many individuals appreciate the quick procedure time and the ability to return to their daily activities immediately afterward.

Recovery and Results

Following BOTOX injections, most individuals can resume normal activities immediately, as downtime is minimal. After treatment, you might notice slight redness or swelling around the injection sites, but these effects usually subside within a few hours to days. To ensure BOTOX settles smoothly into the muscles, it's recommended to avoid vigorous exercise and excessive facial movements for the first 24 hours following the procedure.

Visible results from BOTOX injections typically emerge within a few days, with full effects appearing within about two weeks. The reduction of wrinkles typically remains effective for three to six months, influenced by factors like metabolism and muscle movement. Regular follow-up treatments can extend these results, ensuring a continuous youthful and revitalized look over time. Many patients appreciate BOTOX's natural results and rejuvenating effects, making it a popular choice for non-surgical facial rejuvenation.
