What are Botox and fillers?

Botox, an injectable neuromodulator, interrupts the communications from your motor nerves to specifically targeted muscles. The effects are only temporary, but there’s a lot you can do with Botox. At Monarch Concierge MD - Hilton Head, their team uses Botox for cosmetic and functional purposes.

The main ingredient in Botox is botulinum toxin - it comes from bacteria. In high amounts, this toxin has serious effects. However, Botox harnesses its effects for safe use. Your provider plans and delivers your injections with care so you can experience great results with few or no side effects.

Your Botox procedure takes only about 10 minutes to complete at Monarch Concierge MD - Hilton Head. Your provider can offer options like numbing cream or ice to make the experience more comfortable for you.

Fillers are usually hyaluronic acid-based substances that help to fill areas on your face that have lost fat or collagen because of aging. Hyaluronic acid is found naturally in your body and helps to increase the volume under your skin when injected.

Over time, fillers can also trigger your body’s natural collagen production process, helping you achieve natural results.

What can Botox and fillers treat?

Botox has several different purposes in medicine. While most well-known for its cosmetic effects, the injectable can also treat some conditions and symptoms resulting from overactive muscles or nerves.

Monarch Concierge MD - Hilton Head offers Botox injections for the following purposes:

Wrinkles

Some wrinkles appear because of subconscious facial muscle activity and can make you look much older or angrier than you are in reality. Your provider can use Botox to target and smooth crow’s feet, forehead lines, and furrows between the eyes.

Hyperhidrosis

Hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating, is a complication that is both uncomfortable and cosmetically unappealing. Botox injections can temporarily paralyze your sweat glands in areas like your armpits, allowing you to stay dry.

Collagen Loss

Over time, collagen and other tissues in the body naturally degrade, which can cause the skin to appear sunken. Fillers can replace the lost volume you notice and encourage collagen production.

How long do the results of Botox and fillers last?

The duration of your Botox results varies on an individual basis and also depends on the area you target. Typically, the effects last for an average of 4-6 months. You can book another round of injections with Monarch Concierge MD - Hilton Head if you’re satisfied with the results.

How should I prepare for Botox or filler injections?

Botox and filler injections require very little preparation on your part. First, you should schedule a consultation with the team at Monarch Concierge MD - Hilton Head to discuss your goals, expectations, and health, and how Botox or fillers may help.

They ensure you’re a good candidate and that you’re unlikely to experience a negative reaction. Be sure to inform your provider of any allergies or medical conditions you may have.

You can help minimize bruising, a potential side effect of Botox and fillers, by avoiding aspirin and other blood-thinning medications for at least a week before your treatment.
