Botox Injections: What You Need to Know from The Pur Health

One of the best ways for wrinkle reduction and improving the youthful glow of your skin is through Botox® injections. At The Pur Health, under the expert guidance of Dr. Sabeen Munib, we offer more than just cosmetic improvements with Botox treatments. It is an extremely versatile treatment that offers many benefits, ranging from aesthetics to relief from chronic pain.

What is Botox?

Botox® is the brand name of a neurotoxin that temporarily weakens or paralyzes muscles. Botox prevents muscle contractions by blocking nerve signals, meaning it can reduce wrinkles or help with other conditions where needed. The treatment is FDA-approved and has been used by the medical and aesthetic industries for several years.

How Does Botox Work?

When Botox is injected into selected muscles, it interferes with nerve signals that stimulate muscle contraction. This causes the muscles to relax and smoothes out wrinkles, especially in places such as the forehead, around the eyes (crow’s feet), and around the lips. The effects are temporary, lasting between three to six months depending on individual factors. At The Pur Health, we customize each Botox treatment to your specific needs. Dr. Sabeen Munib personally administers each injection, ensuring the highest care and precision.

Cosmetic Uses of Botox

Botox is commonly used for:

• Forehead worry lines

• Crow’s feet around the eyes

• Frown lines (glabellar lines)

• Smoker’s lines (lips)

• Chin dimpling

• Jawline contouring

• Neck wrinkles

Botox softens these lines, promoting a smoother, more youthful appearance. It’s a non-surgical solution for those looking to reduce the visible signs of aging.

Medical Benefits of Botox

Beyond aesthetics, Botox is a proven medical treatment for several conditions, including:

• Chronic migraines: Botox reduces the frequency and severity of migraines.

• Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis): Botox blocks nerve signals to sweat glands, preventing abnormal sweating in areas such as underarms, hands, and feet.

• Muscle spasms or dystonia: Botox relaxes overactive muscles.

• TMJ pain: Botox offers safe and effective relief for jaw pain by relaxing the affected muscles.

Is Botox Safe?

Botox is very safe when administered by a qualified medical professional like Dr. Sabeen Munib. It’s important to disclose any medications you are taking, as some may increase the risk of bruising or swelling.

Botox at The Pur Health: Procedure and Aftercare

Your Botox treatment will be personalized to your needs. Here’s what to expect:

• Before the procedure: Dr. Munib will review your medical history, discuss your goals, and answer any questions. She will assess your facial muscles to determine the best injection points.

• During the procedure: Botox is injected using a fine needle into specific muscles. Most patients report minimal discomfort. The entire procedure usually takes about 15 to 30 minutes.

• Aftercare: Avoid rubbing or applying pressure to the treated areas for 12 hours. Stay upright for 3 to 4 hours and avoid strenuous activities for at least 24 hours.

How Long Does Botox Last?

Typically, Botox effects last three to six months. With regular treatments, muscles may learn to relax more, potentially reducing the need for frequent treatments over time.

Potential Side Effects

Botox can have mild and temporary side effects, including:

• Redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site.

• Mild headaches.

• Flu-like symptoms.

• Temporary drooping of the eyelids or eyebrows.

Dr. Sabeen Munib ensures patients are informed about all potential risks and provides thorough aftercare instructions.
