Botox®, a purified protein that is injected into the skin to reduce the appearance of lines and
wrinkles, can restore your youthful appearance quickly, safely and easily. Botox is the most
popular and fastest growing non-surgical cosmetic treatment in the United States today.
These injections improve and soften the appearance of frown lines, laugh lines and crow’s
feet with no downtime.
Botox reduces the contraction of the muscles around the injection site; and works by blocking
the transmission of nerve impulses to the injected muscles. A very small quantity, injected in
the key muscles, can erase dynamic wrinkles (related to expressions) on the upper part of the
face. You will still be able to frown, smile and look surprised but without the creases and
wrinkles
A Botox treatment is a simple, 15-minute,
non-surgical process. A few tiny injections
with a very small needle allow the protein
to penetrate the muscle. Within days there
can be noticeable results from the
procedure. Results from treatment can
last for up to 4 months but may vary. The
effects will diminish as the Botox loses
its potency and reapplication is required
to maintain the desired effect. If you
discontinue treatment, the lines treated
gradually will look like they did before
treatment.
Discomfort during treatments is usually
minimal and brief. Prior to injecting, you
may choose to numb the area with a cold
pack or anesthetic cream. Other than a
small chance of bruising, swelling, and
mild bleeding, there is no downtime.
Many people return directly to work or
normal activity following Botox Cosmetic
treatment.
