Botox

What is Botox?

Botox is an injection-based treatment designed to smooth wrinkles caused by recurring facial movements. You might have noticed that creases form in your skin where your facial muscles most commonly move, like the areas around your mouth or between your eyebrows.

Botox is specifically designed to treat those wrinkles — called dynamic wrinkles — so your face doesn’t show signs of wear and tear. Smoothing those telltale signs of aging leaves you looking refreshed and rejuvenated. It’s an effective treatment for frown lines, crow’s feet, wrinkles between your brows, and more.

How does Botox work?

Botox is short for botulinum toxin — and it’s just what its name suggests: a toxin. But don’t worry. Botox treatments use such a small amount of botulinum toxin that they don’t pose any threat to your health.

Each Botox injection leverages a tiny amount of this toxin to freeze a targeted muscle in place. Once paralyzed, the skin above the muscle smooths, releasing your wrinkles so your skin looks youthful and revitalized.

As an expert in cosmetic injectables, Dr. Fulton will ensure she uses just the right amount of Botox to get rid of your wrinkles without leaving you looking plastic. The doctor talks with each patient about their aesthetic goals, then customizes treatment to help them achieve their desired look.

Botox injections last between three and six months. Once your unwanted wrinkles start to reappear, Dr. Fulton can repeat the treatment to keep you looking your best.

What should I expect from a Botox treatment?

Botox has two major perks: it’s an incredibly quick treatment, and it’s minimally invasive. In fact, it’s commonly referred to as a lunchtime procedure, because you can pop into New Experience OB/GYN and Medspa, get your treatment in as little as ten minutes, then continue on with your day.

These injections are designed with your comfort in mind. Most people report they feel virtually no pain during the procedure, and the procedure is commonly likened to a sensation of a small pinch.
