BOTOX® COSMETIC
Over time wrinkles, lines and furrows in the skin are created by the action of the facial muscles. Weakening the contraction of these muscles can reduce or eliminate the lines and wrinkles in the overlying skin. BOTOX® is a purified form of botulinum toxin that temporarily blocks nerve impulses to muscles. The skin appears smooth and more refreshed. BOTOX® can relieve migraine headaches and excessive sweating under the arms and palms.
BOTOX® Cosmetic Injections
BOTOX® is injected into the muscles of the face using small needles. The procedure takes 10-20 minutes to perform in the office, and patients can return to normal activity immediately. Aspirin and blood thinners must be stopped 7-10 days prior to each treatment.
Post BOTOX® Cosmetic Injections
BOTOX® results are apparent within 3-7 days. BOTOX® treatments last approximately three to four months, although some patients note longer durations of action with repeated treatments.
