What's the downtime for injections? Will I recover in a day?

Botox with vaginismus is usually done under IV sedation to relax the vaginal muscles adequately to place all of the injections in the right places. Sedation usually leaves you slightly tired and disoriented for the rest of the day. So, downtime is just the day of your procedure.

Hello,

Thank you for your question. The downtime for injectable treatments can vary depending on the type of injection you receive. Generally, most patients experience minimal downtime with injectable treatments such as Botox or dermal fillers.

Downtime:

Botox: Typically, there is no significant downtime. Some patients may experience minor redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site, but these effects usually subside within a few hours to a day.
Dermal Fillers: Similar to Botox, the downtime is minimal. You might experience some swelling, redness, or bruising, which can last from a few hours to a couple of days. Most patients can resume normal activities immediately after the procedure.
Recovery and Results:

Botox: Results typically start to become noticeable within 3 to 5 days, with the full effect visible in about 1 to 2 weeks.
Dermal Fillers: Results are often immediate, with full effects visible once any swelling or bruising subsides, usually within a few days.
