Botox in Morristown, NJ

During this initial Botox consultation at Zen, our skincare specialist will conduct a thorough examination and discuss your cosmetic goals. Expect to review your medical history, including any previous treatments, cosmetic procedures, allergies, medications, or health conditions.

This initial consultation is also an opportunity to ask questions and voice any concerns. You’ll learn about the procedure, the specific botox treatment recommended, recovery time, aftercare, and potential risks or side effects.

While Botox is generally safe, some common side effects include temporary bruising, swelling, or redness at the injection site. Less commonly, you may experience a headache or mild nausea. Our skilled Botox specialists at Zen Aesthetics are committed to ensuring your safety and will discuss all potential side effects and how to minimize them during your consultation.

Botox injections are ideal for adults looking to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles like crow’s feet, forehead lines, and frown lines between the eyebrows. If you are generally healthy and are seeking non-surgical facial rejuvenation, you may benefit from Botox treatments.

Individuals who are pregnant, breastfeeding, have a neuromuscular disorder, or have a known allergy to any of the ingredients in Botox should avoid this treatment. Our aestheticians will evaluate your medical history and aesthetic goals to determine if Botox is a safe treatment option for you.

Following your Morristown Botox treatments, it’s advised to avoid lying down for four hours after the injections and to refrain from strenuous activities for 24 hours. Avoid rubbing the treated areas to prevent the Botox from spreading to other muscles. Following these guidelines helps ensure the Botox stays localized for best results.

Botox recovery requires no downtime. Patients can resume normal activities, including exercise, immediately after treatment. Swelling, bruising, or redness may occur but should fade within a few days.

At Zen Aesthetics, our doctors prioritize patient comfort during every cosmetic procedure. To ensure a painless experience, we can utilize topical anesthetic creams and cold compresses to numb the targeted area before administering the injections with a tiny needle.

You may experience a mild stinging sensation during the process, but it will dissipate swiftly. After completing the Botox injection, our cosmetic professionals will apply an ice compress to alleviate any immediate facial discomfort, ensuring a smooth and comfortable cosmetic experience.

When administered by a trained Botox professional, our injections have been shown to not interfere with patients’ normal facial expression or muscle movement while reducing wrinkles and fine lines.

So while people may compliment your appearance, they should not be able to tell you have had work done.

Botox effects last about three to four months, varying based on individual factors like metabolism and wrinkle severity. Once the long term effects of your procedure have worn off, schedule a follow-up Botox appointment to continue seeing the results you love. 

The units depend on the targeted area and wrinkle severity. On average, you will need anywhere from 10 to 50 units of Botox, but your skincare specialists will determine the ideal number during your consultation.

Wrinkle-reducing, anti-aging effects are noticeable within 3-5 days, with full results becoming visible in one to two weeks.
