BOTOX for Wrinkle Reduction
Let’s face it; our face changes over time.
The right products and treatments can reduce the effect of time, sun, pollution, and wear and tear. But there’s nothing you can do topically that can outperform the youthful effects of BOTOX® at Hello Laser! BOTOX® can be used as a corrective and preventative in treating crow’s feet, fine lines, forehead creases, neck bands, liplines, the elevens between the brows, and other wrinkles and creases naturally caused by facial expressions.
BOTOX® relaxes the muscles that cause these wrinkles leaving you with a more youthful appearance for 3-4 months before you will need to re-treat the area again as BOTOX® does wear off.
Pre-Care
Before your BOTOX® treatment please avoid alcohol and caffeine for 48 hours to prevent bleeding and bruising. You may take arnica tablets before treatment should you be prone to bruising.
Post-Care
Do not massage the treated area, and avoid exercise for 24 hours. Avoid the hot sun, saunas, or excessive heat for 72 hours. Avoid hats and tight headbands for 24 hours post treatment. To limit swelling, avoid alcohol and salty foods
