BOTOX Birmingham, AL | BOTOX Montgomery, AL

Botox is most traditionally known as a neurotoxin used to treat the signs of aging, including dynamic lines and wrinkles. BOTOX is so popular as a treatment for these stubborn lines that its name is often used as a stand-in for neurotoxins in general. At Rousso Adams Facial Plastic Surgery, we use BOTOX in Birmingham & Montgomery, AL, to treat several other conditions, including the overproduction of sweat (hyperhidrosis), chronic migraines, and neck pain.

What is Botox?

Botox is an injectable neurotoxin made of botulinum toxin type A, used for both cosmetic and medical purposes. Botox’s primary function is to weaken or temporarily paralyze the targeted muscles. As a cosmetic treatment, Botox has to be strategically administered to specific facial muscles, relaxing the muscles responsible for the formation of wrinkles and fine lines.

How long does BOTOX last?

BOTOX lasts 3-4 months.

Dr. Adams Explains: When Patients Should Start Botox Cosmetics

How does Botox work?

Wrinkles and fine lines usually appear due to muscle contraction, which occurs when your nerves release a chemical called acetylcholine. This chemical enters the muscles’ nerve endings to cause contractions, leading to wrinkles and fine lines. Botox is a neurotoxin that targets the nervous system to prevent it from releasing acetylcholine. It effectively disrupts the nerve signals that cause muscle contractions, leading to temporary muscle relaxation and paralysis. Botox in Birmingham & Montgomery, AL, is primarily used to reduce the appearance of fine lines and facial wrinkles caused by muscle contractions.

How to prepare for the Botox procedure

Our professional aestheticians will examine your skin type during your initial consultation and discuss your goals to curate the perfect treatment plan. To prepare for the Botox in Birmingham & Montgomery, AL, you should:

Avoid alcohol for 24 hours before treatment, as alcohol is a blood thinner that increases the risk of bruising
Avoid nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for two weeks before the procedure as they increase the risk of bruising
Inform us if you’re prone to cold sores

What is recovery after Botox?

Botox injections require no downtime and have a very minimal recovery period, if any. This is why Botox is called a lunch break procedure–you can stop in during your break and then get right back to work after your treatment.

After your Botox injection, we will provide you with complete post-treatment guidelines, including the following:

Apply a cold compress for 20 minutes every hour
Take any prescribed painkillers as needed for comfort
Avoid strenuous or vigorous activities for the remainder of the day
