Botox® Treatments in Chandler, AZ

What is Botox?

Botox, derived from its primary composition, Botulinum toxin, is a neurotoxin protein that works by blocking muscle nerve functioning, preventing the muscles from contracting. This primary characteristic of Botox has led it to find several applications both in cosmetic treatments and other medical purposes. For example, Botox can be used to treat migraines, excessive sweating, and overactive bladder.

At Luminescence Aesthetic Medicine, our aesthetic doctors, led by Dr. Pettit, can deploy Botox injections to help you rejuvenate your skin to your younger self. Schedule the best Botox near Chandler by contacting us today.

What are the Benefits of Botox Injections in Chandler?

Botox® injections help relax facial skin muscles to eliminate fine lines and wrinkles. Our doctors may recommend you combine Botox shots with fillers for optimal results. For starters, dermal fillers are FDA-approved injectables that work by adding volume to your face.

Some of the benefits of Botox injections and fillers include:

• Youthful looking skin
• Tight, even, lifted skin
• Reduced wrinkles and fine lines
• Enhanced facial symmetry and contours
• Improved self-assurance or confidence

Botox has also been proven to significantly alleviate the symptoms of acne, a condition that’s caused by blocked hair follicles due to excessive production of oil and slow elimination of dead skin cells. Botox improves acne conditions by reducing the production of oil.

Botox Side Effects

Botox injections result in little to no side effects. Generally, you can expect some bruising and redness on the treatment side, which resolves typically within a day. To protect the area, don’t rub or keep touching the site. We also recommend that you deter from any heavy workouts and activities or take any blood-thinning drugs.

Who’s a Good Candidate for Botox?

Most people can benefit from Botox injections. However, the ideal candidate should be:

• Physically healthy and without any history of neuromuscular condition
• Not expectant or breastfeeding
• Not taking certain types of medication or supplements

At Luminescence Aesthetic Medicine, our professional and experienced doctors will assess your case to determine whether Botox is right for you. We’ll then personalize your treatment depending on your unique needs, concerns, and beauty goals. Reach out to us now to book your Botox and fillers near Chandler.

What should I expect during the procedure?

Botox treatment is typically a simple and painless procedure, though the aesthetician may use local anesthesia to numb the injection site. Generally, the doctor will use a fine needle to inject Botox into the target area, and depending on how many injections, the procedure can conclude in a few minutes to less than an hour. This means you can get your Botox over the 1-hour lunch break and return to work.
