BOTOX® Cosmetic
BOTOX® treatment is designed to reverse the effects of facial wrinkles. Crow’s feet, worry lines and laugh lines can all be a thing of the past. Botox is injected into the tiny facial muscles that create the wrinkles.
The BOTOX® Procedure
BOTOX® injections are performed without anesthesia because it is virtually painless. Only a very small sting is felt when the injections are made. The effects are not permanent and will need to be repeated two to three times per year to retain the effects. Research has suggested, however, that long term use of the injections leads to a longer duration of each treatment’s effect. Botox is only useful in treating expression lines and cannot be used to repair sagging skin caused by aging.
Post-Operative Information
After the treatment, patients may experience slight bruising around the area that quickly fades. Normal activities can be performed immediately. BOTOX® is completely reversible so any side effect is only a temporary condition. The doctor will explain all risks associated at the time of your consultation.
