How does

botox Works

Imagine Botox as the ultimate wrinkle warrior, here to save the day for your skin! This remarkable protein, derived from Botulinum toxin, has an incredible superpower: it temporarily blocks nerve signals where it's injected.

When you make expressions like frowning or squinting, your muscles go into action beneath your skin. But with Botox on the scene, it signals those muscles to take a well-deserved break. This muscle relaxation leads to smoother skin because wrinkles and fine lines are usually caused by those muscle contractions. So, voilà, your skin appears more youthful, and those facial wrinkles, including crows' feet and fine lines, take a little vacation! It's like a mini time-traveler for your face, erasing the signs of aging.

Treatment Aftercare

After undergoing Alma TED treatment, it's essential to follow some simple aftercare guidelines to maximize its effectiveness:
1
Avoid Touching: Refrain from touching or massaging the treated areas for at least 24 hours to prevent the spread of Botox to unintended areas.
2
Stay Upright: Remain in an upright position for the next few hours after treatment and avoid lying flat. This helps prevent the Botox from spreading to unwanted areas.
3
Skip Strenuous Activities: Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, and hot baths on the day of your treatment to minimize the risk of sweating and shifting the Botox.
4
No Alcohol: Steer clear of alcohol for at least 24 hours, as it can increase the risk of bruising.Be Gentle with Skincare: Be gentle while cleansing or applying makeup to the treated areas to prevent irritation.
5
Avoid Certain Medications: Some medications and supplements, like aspirin and fish oil, can increase the risk of bruising. Consult your provider about any medications you're taking.
6
Follow-Up: Attend any scheduled follow-up appointments to assess your results and ensure you're satisfied with the outcome.
7
Be Patient: Botox results may take a few days to become fully visible. Be patient and allow the treatment to work its magic.

I’ve struggled with eczema all my life and the various amounts of creams/ointments given to me by other places never helped enough. Dr.Patel is the only dermatologist I have met that explained everything to me clearly so I understood my issue clearly and gave me other options. My hands have never looked so clear in my life. Super happy with his service and his whole office is very nice/professional. Highly recommend!

- Mariah C

Dr. Patel is very knowledgeable and helpful. First time I went in he spotted my problem just by looking and immediately assigned me treatment. After following his regiment for a couple of months, it has completely healed. He also was able to check several other areas and prescribed medications for those areas. I highly recommend.

- Geoffrey W.

I started suffering from hormonal acne last October and visited many different dermatologists to find a sustainable solution. Dr. Patel is the only doctor who was committed to healing my skin. He saw me every 2 weeks to monitor my treatment and had effectively cleared my skin since I began seeing him in February! I am extremely grateful for him and his entire practice.

- Emily S.

I am very happy I found Dr. Patel he knew right away my hair loss issue, diagnosed it and began the treatment regiment. He is so knowledgeable and takes good care of you. I’ve seen rapid results in just 2 visits.The front desk staff are courteous and professional as well, and the wait times are very minimal. I highly recommend seeing Dr. Patel for your all your skin concerns, you won’t be disappointed.

- Christina A.

Dr. Patel is amazing. Not only is he great, but he will resolve any issues presented to him. I first came to see him for some skin tags and moles I wanted to remove, which he did. Also, I brought in my mother who was suffering from furuncle … something i’ve never heard from, but Dr. Patel recommended some medicine and my mom skin has cleared up 100%. I love his extreme intelligence and ambition to help with any dermatology issue. I would definitely recommend Dr. Patel to anyone dealing with any skin issue.
