Botox Injections

The cosmetic form of botulinum toxin, often referred to by its product name Botox®, is a popular non-surgical injection that temporarily reduces or eliminates frown lines, forehead creases, crows feet near the eyes and thick bands in the neck. The toxin blocks the nerve impulses, temporarily paralyzing the muscles that cause wrinkles while giving the skin a smoother, more refreshed appearance. Studies have also suggested that Botox is effective in relieving migraine headaches, excessive sweating and muscle spasms in the neck and eyes.

What To Expect At Your BOTOX ® Cosmetic Appointment

BOTOX ® Cosmetic is injected with a micro-needle into the muscle(s) that your individual needs require. The most requested areas of treatment and complaint are the forehead and outer eye area. One to five injections are usually given per muscle. It may take approximately 30 minutes to complete an average amount of injections during your visit. Many surgeons advise that patients report very little pain or discomfort associated with BOTOX ® Cosmetic injections due the size of the micro-needle, but you will feel at least some discomfort due to the injection. It has been described as a feeling of great pressure. After your treatment, you will usually see the effects of BOTOX ® Cosmetic within a few hours to three days. Care must be taken in restricting the amount of muscle movements in the treatment area while it settles in.

BOTOX ® Cosmetic has proven itself again and again in eliminating superficial lines and wrinkles. Patients report that during a course of treatment their lines seem to disappear and the skin regains its former smoothness.
