Men and women celebrate Botox® for its wrinkle-relieving abilities, but the injectable does much more than
smooth your skin.
The team at Revive Medical Aesthetics in Longview, Washington, offers Botox injections to treat excessive
underarm sweating, chronic migraines, and, of course, facial wrinkles and fine lines.

What is Botox?
Botox is a cosmetic injectable with a wide range of applications. The main ingredient in each vial of Botox is
called botulinum toxin. It comes from a form of bacteria called clostridium botulinum, and it reduces your
muscle activity when injected in small amounts.
At Revive Medical Aesthetics, the team has the training to administer Botox injections carefully to target
specific muscles while avoiding those around them.
Natural-looking improvement
That means that you won’t appear frozen or paralyzed as the result of your injections, but you see the
improvements that you want.
Dysport® injections
Revive Medical Aesthetics also offers Dysport® injections, a similar treatment to Botox for wrinkles and fine
lines.
Botox or Dysport?
Your provider can help determine which injectable treatment is right for your goals.
What can Botox treat?
Botox is best known for its ability to reduce facial wrinkles and fine lines, but the injectable does more
than that.
Dynamic Wrinkles
Dynamic wrinkles are a specific subset of wrinkles that develop the more you move your face. Examples of
dynamic wrinkles that Botox treats are crow’s feet, frown lines, and forehead lines.
Hyperhidrosis
Do you find yourself sweating a lot, particularly under the armpits? Hyperhidrosis is the medical term for
excessive underarm sweating. Botox injections stop the nerve signals that stimulate your sweat glands to
treat hyperhidrosis.
Chronic Migraine
If you get frequent migraines, Botox injections can help reduce their frequency and severity. With regular
Botox injections for migraines, you can miss fewer days of work and tolerate your migraines more easily.
Carefully targeted injections for specific muscles.
Talk to your provider about using Botox
At Revive Medical Aesthetics, you can talk to your provider about using Botox to treat dynamic wrinkles,
hyperhidrosis, and chronic migraine.
How long does it take to see the results of a Botox injection?
Not immediate
Botox doesn’t kick in immediately after an injection.
Three to seven days
You can expect to wait between three and seven days to see it take effect.
Possible light bruising
You might see some light bruising during this time, but it’s a typical side effect and is no cause for
concern.
How long do the results of Botox injections last?
Botox injections don’t last forever. After about four months, you may see your wrinkles or sweating, for
example, return as your body absorbs and eliminates the drug.
However, that doesn’t mean you have to continue sweating under your arms or staring at wrinkles in the mirror.
Follow-up treatments
If you’re happy with the results of your Botox injections, Revive Medical Aesthetics can deliver another round
of treatment. Once you know how long Botox lasts for you, you can book your follow-up appointments regularly
for long-lasting effects.
