Botox^® COSMETIC

Botox improves the appearance of worry lines, frown lines, laugh lines, crow's feet and other dynamic wrinkles. This extensively tested, FDA approved treatment relaxes the delicate facial muscles that cause facial lines so that your skin appears smooth and wrinkle free. 

Deeper facial muscles are unaffected by Botox treatments so your normal facial expression does not change.

Results

If wrinkles make you look older than you are, Botox can give your skin a smoother, more youthful appearance. The effects of Botox vary from person to person but generally last from 3 to 6 months. In some cases, the effect of Botox last longer after repeat treatments.

The Procedure

Botox Cosmetic is a simple and safe procedure. Using a tiny micro-needle, a very small amount of liquid is injected, very precisely, into several locations on the face. Because the needle is so fine and only a small amount of liquid is used, there is minimal discomfort.

The procedure takes about ten minutes and, because no sedation or local anesthetic is required, you can resume normal activities immediately.

Botox Safety

Botox has been used safely for more than ten years. Each year thousands of patients receive Botox Cosmetic treatments for a variety of conditions and it is one of the most popular treatments for reversing the visible signs of aging.

Side Effects

Botox related side effects are quite rare and usually mild.  Some patients experience a slight temporary bruising at the treatment site which can be concealed with make-up. Your doctor will review all risks with you before the procedure.
