Contact Luxx Med Spa in Cedar Knolls, Hanover, NJ, today to schedule your Botox appointment.
Botox for a Rejuvenated Appearance
Botox is an injectable product used for many purposes, including reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Along with cosmetic uses, Botox has also gained recognition for its ability to effectively treat several medical issues, such as chronic migraine headaches.
Muscle movement is most at fault for the creation of lines, wrinkles, and creases on the face. Botox works to limit or stop muscle contractions altogether, helping prevent and minimize these signs of aging.
These injections can be used to target wrinkles in many areas:
- Forehead
- Between the eyebrows
- Around the eyes (crow’s feet)
- On the nose (bunny lines)
- Jaw
- Neck
Depending on your needs, Botox can be particularly beneficial to refresh your appearance and give the skin a smoother, tighter look.
How Botox Works
Botox Cosmetic contains botulinum toxin A. This ingredient is responsible for the temporary muscle-freezing effects of Botox. In small doses and with precise application, botulinum toxin A works well to treat creases and wrinkles.
Muscles move when they receive certain chemical signals from nerves. Botox works to block these signals, causing muscles to relax and stay still. When muscles don’t contract as severely as they did before, existing lines and wrinkles are much less noticeable.
What to Expect During Your Botox Appointment
Before starting your treatment, we will chat with you regarding your areas of concern and desired outcomes. We’ll then use this information to create a treatment plan to help give you the best possible result.
Prior to injecting, we will mark up the target areas. We might also apply a topical numbing cream to promote comfort during your treatment.
As we proceed with your treatment, we’ll carefully introduce the Botox product in small doses throughout injection sites. Botox appointments usually take 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the number of treatment areas.
Once your treatment is complete, you can relax and ice the area before you’re free to leave and continue with your day.

Botox Cosmetic: Frequently Asked Questions
Below, we’ve answered some of the questions regarding Botox we most frequently receive from our patients.
What Do I Need to Do After Getting Botox to Maximize My Results?
One of the advantages of Botox injections is no downtime; you’re free to leave the office after your appointment and continue with your day. For this reason, many patients schedule their Botox appointments during lunch breaks.
For best results, we recommend avoiding strenuous activity and exercise for at least 24 hours after your appointment. Additionally, you should not rub the treatment area or lie flat for at least four hours posttreatment.
When Can I See Results from My Botox?
If you don’t see immediate results after treatment, you should not be concerned. Botox takes some time to settle in and begin working to freeze muscles.
You’ll see your Botox results steadily emerge in the days after your treatment. Final results are usually seen within two weeks.
How Long Does Botox Last?
Botox results do not last the same length of time for every patient. Generally, Botox lasts three to four months, but some patients enjoy results for four to six months.
It is not uncommon for first-time users to notice Botox product does not last as long. With many patients, repeated use can produce more powerful, longer-lasting results.
How Often Do I Need to Get Botox Injections to Maintain My Results?
The frequency of your treatment depends on how long the product lasts. Once you begin to notice more movement in the muscles around the treatment site, you can call to schedule your next appointment.
Can Botox Be Combined with Other Treatments?
Yes! Many patients enjoy getting Botox along with dermal fillers.
Combining Botox and fillers can produce fantastic results. The Botox product relaxes the muscles that cause the lines, while fillers fill in the existing creases to give you plumper, smoother skin.
We can recommend specific dermal fillers to help you get the most impressive results.
Is Botox Right for Me?
Botox is right for many men and women of all ages, skin tones, and skin textures. If you’re struggling with mild to severe lines and wrinkles and wish to target these aging signs with a minimally invasive, non-surgical treatment, Botox may be right for you.
During your appointment, we’ll discuss your wants and needs to better determine whether Botox is the product that could give you the results you seek.
