These are the steps we follow in my practice:

1. During the consultation will give all the information, including risks regarding the Botox injection. A short medical history is required as well. An informed consent will be signed.
2. A numbing cream could be used if needed for the area to be injected. Alternatively ice could be used.
3. You will be asked to frown or raise the eye brow to visualize the muscle. Botox is injected in the muscle with a very fine needle.
4. Instructions on post injection care will be given. A follow up appointment in a week is scheduled.
5. You should start seeing a result in 3-5 days, and it should last anywhere between 2-5 months.
