What is Botox, and how does it work?
Neurotoxin is typically formulated through a process where a specific type of neurotoxin, such as botulinum toxin, is purified and processed in a controlled environment.
The toxin is derived from bacteria (Clostridium botulinum) and then refined to ensure it is safe for medical use. Once purified, the neurotoxin is diluted with a saline solution to create the injectable form used for treatments. This formulation ensures that the neurotoxin can be precisely injected into targeted muscles or areas of the body to block nerve signals, which leads to its therapeutic or cosmetic effects, like reducing wrinkles or treating muscle spasms.

It works by preventing the treated muscle tissue from going through its full range of motion.
Once treated, your facial muscles can still create normal facial expressions but they won’t be strong enough to tug and pull your skin into lines, folds, and wrinkles. It has been used in aesthetic treatment for more than two decades and in medical treatment for even longer. This neurotoxin injections also treat hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating.
Are Neurotoxin injections painful?
The needles used to place injections are incredibly thin. Injections take just a moment to complete and are not painful. Partnering with a highly skilled practitioner like Farina is a great way to ensure your treatment is comfortable and aligned with the highest safety standards.
If you have especially sensitive skin, let Farina know. A topical numbing medication can help reduce sensations in the treatment area.
You won’t need to take time out of the rest of your day to recover after neurotoxin injections. Many people get their treatments during their lunch break, then return to work immediately afterward.
How long will my Botox results take?
It takes 24-48 hours for your tox treatment to take full effect. You can expect your results to last around four months. At that point, you’ll begin to see your lines and folds slowly returning, and you can decide if you’d like to return for another round of treatment.
The temporary nature of tox is one of the things that people like most about the treatment.
If there are aspects of your results you’d like to change, just let Farina know. She can make minor adjustments in the placement of your injections or how much tox to inject.
