A doctor usually performs Botox injections in the doctor’s office or a clinic. Your initial treatment begins with a consultation, during which time your area of concern will be evaluated, and your medical history will be reviewed. Make sure to disclose to your provider any allergies you may have or medications you are taking.

Before treatment begins, the area will be cleaned, and your doctor may use a cold pack or anesthetic cream to numb the areas to be injected. A tiny needle will be used to inject the Botox into the muscles that cause lines and wrinkles. The number of injections you receive will depend on the severity of your wrinkles and their location on your face. There is no recovery time with Botox injections. You can return to your normal activities right away.

Avoid rubbing the areas that were injected as it could cause the botulinum toxin to migrate to other areas of your face, causing temporary facial weakness or drooping. After treatment, you should be able to go back to your normal activities immediately; however, your provider may request that you refrain from any strenuous activity for the remainder of the day.
