WHAT IS BOTOX®?

BOTOX® is a highly purified muscle toxin, isolated from a certain strain of bacteria. The toxin blocks the chemical signal between the muscle and the nerve, leading to temporary paralysis of the muscle. The paralysis occurs over 1 to 5 days and peaks in two to four weeks. Results last from two to five months, depending on amount injected and your metabolism. The effect gradually wears off, allowing the dynamic wrinkle to return.

​

WHAT’S IT USED FOR?

BOTOX® is commonly used in cosmetic procedures to give the skin a more youthful look by reducing wrinkles. But, there are some different uses for it beyond cosmetics, primarily in helping to treat hyperhidrosis. Hyperhidrosis is a condition that causes excessive sweating, and BOTOX® has been found to be a consistently effective treatment. If this is an issue for you, we can help with that, too!  We also use if for migraines in the clinic.  

​

DOES IT HURT?

As with any medical procedure that involves needles, you can expect some mild discomfort. But, with BOTOX®, the needles used are so small that any real pain is extremely minimal. Not to mention that the staff at Black Oak Clinic LLC are focused on your comfort and safety, and are trained to expertly make all of our procedures as painless as possible.

Botox Pre-treatment Instructions

​

Do NOT consume alcoholic beverages at least 24 hours prior to treatment (alcohol may thin the blood and increase the risk of bruising).

​

Avoid anti-inflammatory/blood thinning medications, if possible, for a period of 5 days before treatment. Medications and supplements such as aspirin, vitamin E, ginkgo biloba, ginseng, St. John’s Wort, Omega 3/Fish Oil supplements, Ibuprofen, Motrin, Advil, Aleve and other NSAIDS have a blood thinning effect and can increase the risk of bruising and swelling after injections.

​

Schedule your appointment at least 2 weeks prior to a special event which you may be attending, such as a wedding or a vacation if you are anticipating needing results for pictures or for the event and also to allow any potential bruising or swelling to resolve during that time period, not everyone will have swelling or bruising (these occur for a variety of reasons, including your own blood/genetic factors) and cannot always be anticipated.

​

Discontinue Retin-A or similar medications 2 days before and 2 days after treatment.

​

Reschedule your appointment at least 24 business hours in advance if you have a rash, cold sore or blemish on the area.  Failing to reschedule with at least 24 business hours ahead of time will result in a $20 fee as we cannot possibly fill that time that we reserved for you with such little notice, we accept credit card and cash but no checks.

​

If you have a history of cold sores please let your provider know, they may put you on an anti-viral medication prior to treatment, you are required to have a chart at Black Oak Clinic LLC to have medication prescribed to you.  If you don’t have a chart already, please call 580-584-3099 M-F 9 to 5pm to have a chart started.

​

Be sure to have a good breakfast, including food and drink before your procedure. This will decrease the chances of lightheadedness during your treatment.

​

You are not a candidate if you are pregnant, trying to get pregnant or breastfeeding; or have ALS, Myasthenia Gravis or Lambert Syndrome (certain neurological disorders).

​

If you desire, you can start over the counter arnica to decrease the risk of bruising unless otherwise indicated by your primary healthcare provider, arnica can be found at most pharmacies and grocery stores.

​

Arrive at your appointment at least 15 minutes early to check-in, please have all of your medications with you or an up to date medication list that can be reviewed.

​

Botox generally lasts 2-5 months depending on your own metabolism (if you tan or are very physically active it metabolizes out faster) and the amount of correction you opt for.   Per Allergan’s guidelines the sides of eyes (lateral canthus lines) takes 24 units (total for both eyes), the forehead is 20 units, and the glabellar region is 24 units (recommendations for maximum correction), it is always recommended to do the forehead and the glabellar region simultaneously to avoid drooping of eyebrows/eyes.  You may opt to only do one area or opt for less units than recommended, however if you feel that you did not get the result you are desiring with less product please follow up in 14 days for more product, we do not recommend more product in less than 14 days. The results vary depending on the amount of product used and how strong your muscles are, we just want you to be aware of Allergan’s recommendations, as many people opt for less than what is recommended.
