BOTOX® Cosmetic
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a neuromodulator that is used to reduce the appearance of facial fine lines and wrinkles. It is a purified protein that is injected into the skin to relax facial muscles and create a more youthful appearance. BOTOX® works to reduce the activity of these facial muscles that tend to cause brow and frown lines. Patients who are unhappy with these common signs of aging tend to benefit most from this procedure.

BOTOX® Cosmetic is a purified protein derivative that temporarily relaxes certain offending facial muscles that cause unwanted wrinkles. Unlike injectable fillers like JUVÉDERM®, it does not fill in wrinkles; BOTOX® just relaxes the muscles that cause the wrinkles. Since only the offending muscles are treated, you will continue to make your full range of natural expressions, such as smiling and frowning. BOTOX® treatments are an art in themselves – only those done by an expert allow the patient to continue to show the full range of natural expressions whilst preventing wrinkle formation.

Am I A Good Candidate For Botox Cosmetic injections?
BOTOX® is a widely beneficial procedure suitable for many patients. You might be an ideal candidate for BOTOX® injections if you’re looking to slow down facial aging, reduce frown lines between your brows, lift the skin around your mouth, smooth out deep creases and folds around the forehead and eyes, or improve the appearance of crow’s feet. However, certain conditions may make you less suitable for BOTOX®. These include having an active acne or HSV breakout, being pregnant or nursing, suffering from an autoimmune disorder, having uncontrolled diabetes, or dealing with a heart condition. It’s important to assess these factors to ensure BOTOX® is a safe and effective option for your aesthetic goals and health status.
What results should I aspect after my treatment?
After your treatment, you can go right back to your regular daily routine. A few days after treatment you will notice wrinkles and creases fading away. Your rejuvenated results will last about 3 to 4 months. If you stay on schedule with your treatments, you will need smaller and smaller doses each time and thus the cost of your treatments will decrease because, in this office, you are not required to pay for the area, rather you only pay for the specific dosage that you use.
