Is Botox safe?
Yes, Botox has been FDA-approved since 2002 and is one of the most studied cosmetic treatments available. When administered by a qualified physician like Dr. Struck, Botox is extremely safe with minimal side effects.
Does Botox hurt?
Most patients describe Botox injections as a quick pinch or mosquito bite sensation. The needles used are very fine, and the entire procedure takes just 15 minutes. No anesthesia is needed, though topical numbing cream is available if desired.
How long does Botox last?
Botox results typically last 4-6 months. Some patients find their results last longer with consistent treatments as their facial muscles become trained. Maintenance treatments every 4-6 months help sustain your results.
When will I see results?
You'll begin noticing improvement in 3-7 days, with full results visible in about 2 weeks. This timeline allows the Botox to fully relax the treated muscles.
More Common Questions
Can I combine Botox with other treatments?
Absolutely. Botox works excellently in combination with dermal fillers, laser treatments, chemical peels, and other cosmetic procedures. Dr. Struck can create a comprehensive treatment plan to address all your aesthetic concerns.
What's the difference between Botox and fillers?
Botox relaxes muscles to prevent wrinkle formation (dynamic wrinkles), while fillers add volume to smooth existing wrinkles and restore facial contours (static wrinkles). Dr. Struck can help determine which treatment is right for your concerns.
Am I a good candidate for Botox?
Most healthy adults aged 18-65+ are good candidates for Botox. Ideal candidates have moderate to severe wrinkles caused by facial expressions. Dr. Struck will evaluate your candidacy during your consultation.
Are there any side effects?
Side effects are rare and typically mild, including minor bruising at injection sites (easily concealed with makeup), temporary redness or swelling, mild headache (uncommon), and temporary eyelid drooping (very rare with experienced injectors).
Do you offer financing?
Yes, we offer various payment options to make Botox treatments affordable. Contact our Atherton, Los Gatos, or Morgan Hill office to discuss financing options.
Which provider has the best prices in the Bay Area?
Dr. Struck's $12 per unit pricing is among the most competitive in the Bay Area, especially considering you're receiving treatment from a board-certified plastic surgeon rather than a medical spa technician.
