Botox works for most healthy adults, i.e. you!

The most common reason Botox doesn’t work is because you weren’t given enough of the active product. Always go escobedo skin center, botox, cosmetic myths to a trusted doctor for Botox and don’t try to order it yourself. You could end up with diluted or even fake Botox. If an experienced professional treated you, you may be due for a touch up. Botox results should appear within days and can continue to improve for 30 days. Results will last about 4 months.

Sometimes the wrinkle is too deep for Botox alone. If you have a line that appears even at rest, you’ll need fillers in addition to Botox to take care of it. This is why Escobedo Skin Center often recommends a combination of fillers to treat lines and wrinkles on different parts of the face.

Each filler treats something different, so come in for a personal consultation with Dr. Escobedo to create a treatment plan specific to your needs. Click here for more information on Botox and its lower cost alternative, Dysport.
