What to do before your procedure?

At your initial consultation with Dr. Marciales, you will discuss your medical history and receive a physical exam. He must be healthy and have realistic goals for his procedure. Dr. Marciales will make recommendations based on his expectations and general health. In some cases, a smaller procedure may be enough to satisfy the goals of it.

Explanation of the procedure:

Botulinum Toxin injections are primarily known for their ability to reduce the appearance of some facial wrinkles. They are also used to treat problems such as neck spasms (cervical dystonia), excessive perspiration (hyperhidrosis), overactive bladder, and lazy eye. Botulinum toxin injections may also help prevent chronic migraines.

What can I expect from a Botulinum Toxin procedure?

Before the procedure

Most people feel almost no discomfort during the procedure. However, it’s a good idea to have your skin numbed first, especially if you treat the palms or soles of your feet for excessive perspiration. Your doctor may use one or more of several available methods to numb the area, such as topical anesthesia, ice, and vibration anesthesia, which involves massaging to reduce discomfort.

during the procedure

Botulinum toxin injections are usually given in the doctor’s office. The doctor uses a thin needle to inject small amounts of botulinum toxin into the skin or muscles. The number of injections needed depends on many factors, including the size of the area being treated. Botulinum toxin injections are usually given in the doctor’s office.

Post operation:

Do not rub or massage the treatment area for 24 hours. This can help prevent the toxin from spreading to a different area. You will be able to return to your normal activities immediately after the procedure.

What are the risks?

Botulinum toxin injections are relatively safe if given by an experienced physician. Some of the possible side effects and complications are:

• Pain, swelling, or bruising at the injection site
• Headache or flu-like symptoms
• Drooping eyelids or uneven eyebrows
• Wry smile or drooling

• Muscular weakness
• Vision problems
• Trouble speaking or swallowing
• Respiratory problems
• loss of bladder control

Doctors do not usually recommend the use of Botulinum Toxins if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Botulinum toxins should not be used in people who are allergic to the protein in cow’s milk.
