What is Botox?

Botox is an injection containing botulinum toxin, an FDA-approved substance used for aesthetics and medical purposes. The injections are safe, fast, and highly effective without pain, invasive procedures, or downtime. Botox injections offer an array of advantages that can significantly improve your quality of life.

Are Botox injections right for me?

Dr. Mandelbaum determines if you’re a candidate for Botox injections after completing a physical exam, checking your vital signs, and reviewing your medical history. He also discusses your treatment preferences and desired outcome. Dr. Mandelbaum customizes an aesthetic or pain-relieving treatment plan based on your needs.

What happens during Botox injections?

Before you complete Botox injections, your provider cleans the treatment areas. They also numb targeted tissues if necessary to optimize comfort. Your specialist injects botulinum toxin into targeted tissues while you relax. The injections often take a minute or two for each one, though you typically receive more than one injection during each treatment session.

What should I expect afterward?

Botox injections may cause swelling, redness, or soreness at the injection site, but you can resume a normal daily routine immediately afterward. The results may take several days to take effect and often last 3-5 months. 

See the IV MD team if you need to repeat Botox injections for aesthetic reasons or for pain reduction. Don’t hesitate to call the office any time with questions or if you’re interested in additional services, particularly IV therapy.
