What Is BOTOX Cosmetic?

BOTOX belongs to a class of injectables known as neuromodulators. It’s specifically designed to address the presence of dynamic wrinkles, which are caused by the repeated use of your facial muscles. By interrupting the nerve signals that tell specific facial muscles to move, BOTOX effectively hits the “pause button” on the muscles whose usage has caused your dynamic wrinkles.

    What to Expect When You Visit Aurora

    Your Consultation

    When you arrive at Aurora in Des Peres for your initial consultation, you’ll discuss your cosmetic goals and medical history with your provider to ensure BOTOX is right for you. We may also take photos so you can effectively track your transformation.

    Getting Prepared

    Before the treatment session begins, your provider will prepare the necessary amount of BOTOX and work with you to create a customized injection pattern that creates your ideal results. They may use an ice pack to reduce your discomfort as much as possible.

    Your Treatment Session

    Your BOTOX injections will be performed with the use of a very fine-gauge needle. We can also offer you a topical anesthetic that can be used to ensure that your experience is as comfortable as possible. The entire session lasts between 15 and 30 minutes.

    After Your Procedure

    After your treatment, you’ll want to avoid exercise and UV exposure. You may experience some minor redness, swelling, or bruising, which will dissipate quickly. Your results begin to appear in three to four days and will peak within two weeks, lasting up to four months.
