What is Botox?
Botox is a popular non-surgical cosmetic treatment that temporarily reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Made from a purified protein, Botox works by blocking nerve signals to the muscles, preventing them from contracting. This relaxation of the muscles helps to smooth out the skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Botox is commonly used to treat:
Forehead Lines: Smooth out horizontal lines that form across the forehead.
Frown Lines: Reduce the vertical lines between the eyebrows, often called "11s."
Crow's Feet: Minimize the fine lines that form at the outer corners of the eyes.
Bunny Lines: Smooth the lines that appear on the nose when you smile.
Chin Dimples: Reduce the appearance of a dimpled chin.

What to Expect During Your Botox Treatment
At Gilson Plastic Surgery, we strive to make your Botox treatment experience as comfortable and pleasant as possible. Here’s what you can expect:
Consultation: Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation with Dr. Gilson. During this appointment, you will discuss your aesthetic goals, medical history, and any concerns you may have. Dr. Gilson will evaluate your facial structure and determine the best treatment plan for you.
Preparation: On the day of your treatment, the targeted areas will be cleansed, and a topical anesthetic may be applied to ensure your comfort.
Injection: Using a fine needle, Dr. Gilson will inject small amounts of Botox into the specific muscles responsible for your wrinkles. The number of injections will depend on the areas being treated.
Post-Treatment Care: After the injections, you can resume your normal activities immediately. Dr. Gilson will provide you with aftercare instructions to ensure the best results.
Aftercare and Results
Following your Botox treatment, you may experience slight redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites. These effects are temporary and typically subside within a few hours to a few days. To ensure optimal results, it’s important to:
Avoid rubbing or massaging the treated areas for at least 24 hours.
Refrain from strenuous exercise and excessive sun exposure for the first day.
Follow any additional aftercare instructions provided by Dr. Gilson.
Long-Lasting Beauty
The effects of Botox can last anywhere from three to six months, depending on the individual and the area treated. To maintain your youthful appearance, Dr. Gilson recommends scheduling regular follow-up treatments. Over time, with consistent use, you may find that your results last longer, and fewer treatments are needed to achieve your desired look.
