Before beginning your procedure, Dr. Rispoli asks if you’ve received Botox injections before or if you take additional muscle relaxers or medications, such as blood thinners, that could interfere with the treatment.
Though the injections do not cause discomfort, some people prefer numbing beforehand. Dr. Rispoli can provide topical anesthesia to ensure you feel comfortable.
Using a thin needle and a small amount of botulinum toxin, Dr. Rispoli injects the Botox into your skin and muscles. The number of injections varies depending on the condition being treated.
After the procedure, refrain from rubbing the area where you received Botox injections for at least 24 hours to prevent the Botox from spreading to other areas. Within 3-5 days, you should notice positive results.
There are several benefits to receiving Botox. Dr Rispoli typically offers Botox treatment to patients with chronic migraines, pelvic floor dysfunction, or cervical dystonia.
Nerve pain, muscle spasms, and migraines can affect many aspects of your life and lack effective treatment options. However, with Botox injections, you can manage your pain and relieve your discomfort with long-lasting results.
The injections work to relax your muscles if you experience involuntary muscle contractions or imbalances, restoring your body so you can return to your daily activities.
Because you receive the injection directly where you experience discomfort, you won’t experience side effects typically associated with the use of oral pain medication or other systemic treatments.
