We'll be in touch soon to get you ready for the next steps. In the meantime, here are a couple of helpful tidbits about a typical Botox treatment.
Recommended dose for the upper face (angry lines, forehead, crow's feet) is 64 units.
Treating more areas means more units.
Ignoring the lower face can worsen jowling and neck lines.
Full-face Botox usually requires 80-130 units.
You can also treat areas like masseters for jaw clenching, underarms for sweating, and traps for tension and slimming.
Get Ready for Your First Botox Treatment at AOB Med Spa!
Coming in for a first-time Botox appointment at AOB Med Spa typically involves several key steps. Here's what you can generally expect:
Initial Consultation
Medical History Review: You will fill out a form detailing your medical history, any medications you're currently taking and any allergies.
Discussion of Goals: You will discuss your aesthetic goals with the practitioner, including which areas you want to treat and the results you hope to achieve.
Assessment: The practitioner will assess your facial anatomy, skin condition, and the areas to be treated to determine the appropriate treatment plan. We take a full approach to a treatment plan not limited to just injectables.
Treatment Plan
Cost Estimate: You'll receive a cost estimate based on the number of units needed and will receive any current promotions available not limited to but including Allé rewards.
Explanation of the Procedure: The practitioner will explain how Botox works, what to expect during the procedure, and how many units you'll need for your desired outcome.
Pre-Treatment Instructions
Avoid Certain Medications: You may be advised to avoid medications and supplements that can thin the blood (like aspirin, ibuprofen, and fish oil) for a few days before the procedure.
No Alcohol: Avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours before the appointment to reduce the risk of bruising.
Arrive Without Makeup: It's usually best to come to the appointment with a clean face.
The Procedure
Cleansing the Area: The treatment area will be cleansed to remove any makeup, oil, or impurities.
Marking the Injection Sites: The practitioner may mark the areas where Botox will be injected.
Injection: Using a fine needle, the practitioner will inject small amounts of Botox into the targeted muscles. The number of injections will depend on the areas being treated.
Duration: The entire procedure typically takes 10-30 minutes.
Post Treatment Care
Follow-Up: Instructions will be given on what to do if you experience any side effects and you will be scheduled for a follow-up appointment no sooner than 2 weeks after treatment and no longer than 3 weeks.
Immediate Aftercare: You might be advised to avoid rubbing the treated areas and to stay upright for a few hours post-treatment.
Activity Restrictions: You may need to avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, and facials for 24-48 hours.
Results
Onset of Effects: Botox results are not immediate. You can expect to see changes within 3-5 days, with full results typically visible in about 2 weeks.
Duration: The effects of Botox usually last 3-4 months, after which you may need another treatment to maintain the results.
Additional Tips
Ask Questions: Feel free to ask any questions you may have during your consultation and procedure.
Report Side Effects: While side effects are generally mild and temporary, report any persistent or severe side effects to your practitioner immediately.
By understanding these steps and what to expect, you can feel more comfortable and prepared for your first Botox appointment at AOB Med Spa.
