FREQUENT QUESTIONS
The effects of botulinum toxin usually last between 3 and 6 months. The duration may vary from person to person, depending on factors such as muscle structure, physical activity and individual metabolism.
Several factors can influence the effectiveness and duration of results, including:
Fast Metabolism: People with a faster metabolism may notice that the effects of the treatment last less.
Intense Physical Activity: Intense physical activity soon after treatment may reduce its duration.
Exposure to High Temperatures: Saunas, hot baths or prolonged exposure to the sun immediately after treatment can reduce effectiveness.
Treatment Frequency: Very frequent use of botulinum toxin may lead to a decrease in its long-term effectiveness for some patients.
Most patients experience very little or no pain during treatment. A very fine needle is used for the injections, and the procedure is quick. Some patients may feel mild discomfort or a stinging sensation.
Yes, you can return to your normal activities immediately after treatment. However, it is recommended to avoid intense exercise, exposure to high temperatures, and lying down for the first 4 hours after the procedure to optimize results.
Results begin to be visible within 2 to 3 days of treatment, with full effects noticeable after approximately 2 weeks.
To ensure the best results, follow the pre- and post-treatment recommendations provided by Dr. Raúl Trujillo. Avoid handling treated areas and exposure to high temperatures immediately after treatment. Scheduling follow-up checkups can help adjust future treatments as needed.
Touch-ups can only be performed two weeks after receiving the initial treatment. This period allows the effects of botulinum toxin to fully manifest, ensuring that any adjustments made are accurate and based on the final results.
It is advisable to wait at least 4 months between botulinum toxin applications. This recommendation seeks to optimize results and minimize the risk of developing resistance to the toxin. Dr. Raúl Trujillo will evaluate your situation individually to determine the optimal treatment interval, ensuring that the desired long-term results are safely maintained.
Yes, there are some contraindications to botulinum toxin treatments that are important to consider to ensure patient safety. These include:
Known allergies to any of the components of botulinum toxin.
Active infections or skin problems in the treatment area.
Neuromuscular disorders such as myasthenia gravis or Eaton-Lambert syndrome, which may increase the risk of serious side effects.
Pregnancy or breastfeeding, due to the lack of studies confirming the safety of botulinum toxin in these conditions.
Use of certain medications that may interact with botulinum toxin, such as anticoagulants, certain antibiotics, and medications that influence neuromuscular transmission.
It is crucial to inform Dr. Raúl Trujillo of any existing medical conditions, medications you are taking, and whether you are pregnant or breastfeeding during the initial consultation. This will allow Dr. Trujillo to evaluate your eligibility for treatment and ensure your safety and the best possible results.
