BOTOX®

BOTOX® isn’t the right choice for everyone, but it depends entirely on the individual’s needs and goals. BOTOX® injections should be avoided if you have certain neuromuscular diseases, during pregnancy and breastfeeding, and while taking certain medications like antibiotics and blood thinning agents.

When you come to Evolve Medical Associates for your BOTOX® consultation, we’ll discuss your concerns and medical history in-depth to ensure that BOTOX® is right for you. If it’s not, we’ll adapt our individualized treatment plan and come up with another solution that fits your unique needs.

Side effects from BOTOX® can occasionally occur, but they are only temporary, such as bruising at the injection site. Some patients have reported a mild headache after injection, as well as numbness and tingling. However, these symptoms wear off within the next day or so. Most patients return to their daily routine right away.

Your first BOTOX® injection will typically only last three to four months, as it is injected into strong, thick muscle that has not been treated before. At subsequent sessions, the muscle is smaller and weaker (since it has not been used) and your injections may last longer.

When we craft your treatment plan, we’ll be able to determine how often you’ll need BOTOX® injections, as well as their exact placement and amount, to give you a better idea of how long it will last.
