What Is Botox?

Botox is a brand name for an injection that contains botulinum toxin type A. It is injected into facial muscles to paralyze them and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles caused by the same facial movements being constantly repeated.

How they work
When injected into the facial muscle, they temporarily relax or paralyze it, which smooths out wrinkles and prevents deeper lines from forming.
Procedure time
The total time can take anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes, depending on how many areas of the face are being treated.
Performed by
Dr. Jennifer Gardner, MD, a board-certified dermatologist with 20 years of experience.
Anesthesia
Topical Anesthetic
Recovery
Virtually no downtime. May experience mild bruising, swelling, or tenderness at injection sites for a few days.
Location
Bellevue and Kirkland, WA

Does Botox® Freeze the Face?

A popular misconception of Botox is that it will freeze your entire face. This is totally false. In fact, one of the major advantages of Botox is how specific this treatment is–it will only work on the injected muscle without affecting surrounding muscles.
Botox is incredibly popular in Seattle for treating wrinkles that cause facial expressions, such as:

  • Forehead lines
  • Glabellar lines (“11” lines in between your eyes)
  • Nasolabial folds
  • Wrinkles caused by facial emotions, such as raising your eyebrows, squinting, smiling, frowning, or pursing your lips.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do the effects of Botox last?

Botox normally lasts anywhere between 3 and 5 months depending on how fast your body metabolizes it and the muscles that were treated.

When will my results from Botox be noticeable?

Most people begin to see results between three and seven days, with their final results in about 2 weeks.

Can Botox make your face look frozen?

When your Botox is administered by an experienced injector, your wrinkles and fine lines will appear softer and less noticeable, but you will still have normal facial expressions and will not look overdone or frozen.

Are Botox injections painful?

Not really. Most patients feel little to no pain and describe the injections like a quick pin prick. Some swelling or bruising is possible after the injections.

Is there any downtime after getting Botox injections?

No. There is not any specific downtime after Botox injections, and most people can resume most of their normal activities. There are some temporary restrictions for the few days, such as you should remain in an upright position for at least four hours and avoid strenuous activities, saunas, and putting pressure on the treated areas.

What areas can be treated with Botox?

Botox can be used to soften forehead lines, frown lines between the eyebrows, and crow’s feet around your eyes.
