Our facial expressions such as smiling, laughing and frowning cause the facial muscles to contract creating folds and deep wrinkles. These lines can make you look older, tired, sad or angry. Botox is an easy fix that not only prevents the formation of fine lines, but also overtime reduces signs of aging. Botox is administered through a series of small injections and can last for up to six months with no downtime and little to no discomfort. Botox is a highly effective, minimally invasive dermal filler that drastically improves the skin’s overall appearance. Our trained staff will help determine the best treatment plan based on one’s personal skin needs.
BOTOX is a prescription drug called OnabotulinumtoxinA. It is a neurotoxin produced by the bacteria strain of Clostridium botulinum. It is FDA approved for the cosmetic treatment of wrinkles and lines and is completely safe.
BOTOX is a neurotoxin that, when injected into muscles, relaxes them from motion for a period of time. When used cosmetically to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, it does so by temporarily blocking the nerve activity in the muscles surrounding the wrinkle, preventing the muscle from forming the motion that created the wrinkle or crease. The result is a smoother, wrinkle-free skin surface.
No. BOTOX only prevents the muscles from forming the wrinkle in the skin. Facial fillers such as Juvederm or Restylane are a different type of injection in which an injectable gel is gently injected inside the wrinkle area, filling in the wrinkle by plumping up the skin and making the wrinkle disappear. BOTOX and facial fillers work together; the filler fills in the wrinkle while the BOTOX keeps the wrinkle from reforming.
No. Patients that receive BOTOX injections start noticing a difference in their facial muscles about two to seven days after the injections. Full effect of the BOTOX injection can take up to two weeks.
Typically, when you begin BOTOX injections you will need to repeat the process every three to four months. Patients report that with repeated injections they can go longer in between treatments. Some patients have their BOTOX injections once per year because they have been getting this highly effective wrinkle treatment on a regular basis.
