Below are a few frequently asked questions about using Botox injections for facial wrinkles and lines.

How does Botox work to address the unwanted signs of aging?

Botox works by temporarily paralyzing the specific muscles responsible for causing wrinkles and fine lines. It blocks the nerve signals that tell these muscles to contract, thereby smoothing out the skin and reducing the appearance of wrinkles. Drs. Lisa Ohman Erhard and Mark Erhard of LAK MedSpa believe in providing this and other solutions for patients seeking nonsurgical ways to address fine lines, wrinkles, and facial folds.

Is Botox safe?

Yes! Botox is considered a safe treatment when administered by a licensed and trained medical professional just like our team at LAK MedSpa. However, there are potential side effects that may occur, such as bruising, pain at injection site, headache, and temporary drooping of eyelids. Be sure to discuss any concerns with our doctors before undergoing treatment.

What can I expect during my upcoming Botox injection appointment?

During your Botox injection appointment at LAK MedSpa, our doctors first evaluate your desired treatment areas and create a customized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. They then use a small needle to inject the Botox into targeted muscles, which might cause a slight pinching sensation. The entire process usually requires about 10-15 minutes, and you can return to your daily activities immediately after.

How long does Botox last?

Results from Botox injections last anywhere from three to six months, depending on individual factors such as metabolism and muscle strength. Maintenance treatments are recommended every few months to maintain optimal results.

Can I combine Botox with other cosmetic procedures?

Absolutely! In fact, Drs. Lisa Ohman Erhard and Mark Erhard offer a wide range of solutions for patients in the Wayzata, Minnesota, area who are seeking ways to enhance their appearance and turn back the signs of aging. When you consult with them at their office, located at 1120 Wayzata Boulevard East, Suite 100, you will find out about other treatments that may be used alongside Botox for the best possible results, including chemical peels, laser therapies, and even hyaluronic acid dermal fillers.
