There are alternative neuromodulators or dermal fillers to consider for patients who are allergic to Botox. Your doctor will discuss all your options to determine what is in your best interest.
Before receiving Botox treatments, your skin mustn’t have an active infection or breakout. Your doctor will provide you with pre-treatment instructions for a safe treatment. Patients need to refrain from taking aspirin, blood thinners, or anything that causes bleeding if cut. In addition, you must avoid tobacco products and alcohol before and after your treatment to prevent swelling and bruising. During your consultation, it is essential to be upfront with your medical history so your doctor can customize a treatment plan that is right for you.
Your Botox treatment in Virginia Beach takes about 15 to 20 minutes but may take longer if a topical numbing cream is used. The Botox is injected with a fine needle into the discussed treated areas.

There is little to no downtime with Botox, and most patients can return to work or resume their daily activities.

Botox is an elective cosmetic treatment and is typically not covered by insurance. For some patients, Botox is considered medically necessary to treat urinary incontinence, excessive sweating, and headaches. However, discussing your coverage options with your insurance provider is advised.
While injectables and dermal fillers effectively treat fine lines and wrinkles, dermal fillers are designed to add volume to facial areas that have experienced volume loss due to aging. In contrast, Botox stops the facial muscle from contracting for an overall smoother look.
