Introduction

Introduction to BOTOX®

BOTOX is a popular, gold-standard facial rejuvenation treatment that eradicates frown lines and crow’s feet with no discomfort or downtime. The treatment provides patients with a non-invasive way to erase signs of aging and restore an energized, attractive facial expression. Our Cleveland patients find their results to be nuanced and natural-looking, thanks to the skill of our experienced providers at Gentile Plastic Surgery in Youngstown and Akron, OH.

What is
BOTOX®?

Over your lifetime, repetitive smiling, frowning, laughing, and squinting can cause etched-in creases that make you look older than you feel. BOTOX injections are a leading solution for this. They temporarily halt the muscle contractions that cause entrenched wrinkles, resulting in smoother skin and a more relaxed, inviting facial expression.

BOTOX is a non-invasive treatment with minimal downtime, allowing busy, active patients to resume their normal activities quickly. At Gentile Plastic Surgery in Youngstown and Akron, your Cleveland BOTOX session is overseen by our team, who are guided by double-board-certified facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Richard D. Gentile, who is known for his commitment to patient safety and aesthetic excellence.

What to Expect
on the Day of
BOTOX® Treatment

As a double-board-certified facial plastic surgeon in Cleveland, Dr. Gentile has an extensive understanding of the facial muscular network and can ensure that your injections are performed with artistry, accuracy, and meticulous attention to detail. Your skin will first be numbed with a topical anesthetic to ensure a pain-free, stress-free experience. Next, your provider will administer BOTOX to the specific points outlined in your treatment plan. The whole process takes around 15-20 minutes to complete, after which you can resume your normal schedule.

BOTOX® Recovery

BOTOX injections come with no downtime or recovery. Patients can quickly return to work, school, shopping, or just enjoying their day. Despite this, it is common to experience minor swelling, bruising, or tenderness at the injection sites. These symptoms dissipate quickly but fade within several hours or by the next day. You can use an ice pack and take over-the-counter painkillers if necessary to deal with any lingering soreness or discomfort. For 4-6 hours after your BOTOX session, avoid lying down, heavy lifting, or bending forward. This will help avoid the slight risk of product migration.
