BOTOX® Cosmetic is a simple, non-surgical procedure that smooths the deep, persistent lines and wrinkles that develop over time.
BOTOX is a neurotoxin that utilizes a natural, purified protein administered at very low doses to reduce the contractions of the muscles that cause the persistent frown lines that develop over time. While results are significant, it will not radically change your facial appearance.
The muscles are simply relaxed, so you can still frown, smile, or look surprised without the wrinkles and creases. Injecting Botox into targeted facial muscles can minimize even the most stubborn of wrinkles, leaving the skin looking smoother and more youthful.
Treatment
We inject BOTOX Cosmetic into the muscles that are causing your wrinkles. You will feel the tiny needle pricks briefly, but there is no need for an anesthetic. The treatment is typically completed in 10 minutes. You won’t need any recovery time.
The results will appear within 7-14 days. The effects will last four months or more.
You will benefit most with a regular maintenance schedule. Most patients refresh their BOTOX Cosmetic every four to five months.
Precautions
You may experience bruising or transient headaches. Minor temporary droop of one eyelid occurs in approximately two percent of patients. This usually lasts two to three weeks. Pregnant women and individuals with a significant neurologic disease should not receive BOTOX® treatments.
Frequently Asked Questions
BOTOX procedures are fast, simple, and minimally invasive. No anesthesia or downtime is required. The treatment starts with an in-office consultation where our expert injectors assess patient needs and develop a tailored treatment plan to provide the patient’s desired end results. BOTOX is then injected into targeted facial muscles using an ultra-fine needle directly into the area being treated.
