Herndon botox services are one of the best ways to restore the youthful appearance of your skin.
Why Botox?
Botox is a trusted and proven way to correct wrinkles, facial muscle contractions, headaches and migraines. It also is helpful at preventing pain by fixing jaw clenching and bruxism that causes chronic discomfort. Botox treatment will relax facial muscles to treat these conditions for 3 to 4 months, and in some cases up to 6 months. We use botox to treat a variety of facial conditions that create wrinkles and aging signs around the forehead, between the eyes, and around the eyes.
The Herndon Botox Procedure
At your appointment, our trained Elume Medspa technicians will determine the right amount of botox needed for treatment. Once the right amount is determined, they will ice the treatment area to prevent any pain and discomfort. They will then carefully administer botox injections. The procedure takes around 15 minutes to complete.
Once the treatment is complete, you may experience some minor side effects, such as swelling, redness, and a small bump at the injection site. These usually fade within 5 to 10 minutes. After two weeks, you will begin to notice the full effect of your botox treatment. To decide on the right kind of botox treatment for your unique skin type and the amount needed to produce your desired results, schedule a free consultation with Elume Medspa to discuss your needs.

Botox Risks
When administered in small doses botox is relatively harmless, however botox is still considered a toxin, and when administered in high doses too frequently, it can put a patient at risk for harmful side effects. Receiving Herndon botox services from a trained and experienced Elume Medspa technician will prevent any chance of serious side effects, since they ensure your safety when offering botox. When administered safely, there are only a few common side effects to a botox procedure that include only short-term skin and muscle irritations. These usually resolve on their own soon after the injections. However, it is important to discuss your botox procedure with your Elume Medspa technician since every individual’s skin is different, which could affect your proneness to side effects.
Who Should Avoid Botox Procedures?
Many adults undergo botox treatments because of their proven effectiveness, convenience and safety. However, those who have select health conditions are not always good candidates. Those with keloids, herpes, warts, deep scarring, lesions or Stage 3 or 4 acne should not undergo botox treatments. Also those with autoimmune disorders or untreated diabetes are not recommended to undergo botox treatments. Women who are pregnant should also avoid botox. Those who have undergone recent chemical peel treatments, collagen injections, or any other corrective skin procedure in and around the targeted treatment area should wait for at least 2 to 3 weeks before undergoing a Herndon botox treatment. They are also advised against tanning or waxing in the weeks leading up to their botox treatment.
