As a result of many combined factors, through the years adults develop facial expression lines or wrinkles that create an appearance of age and emotional tension. BOTOX® Cosmetic effectively reduces lines in the forehead or between the eyebrows, and “crow’s feet”. Botox, persons usually report they look younger and less stressed or angry. You can even get some effects of a “brow lift” without the surgery using BOTOX®. At our facility, we also take before and after photos to document your results for you.

What is BOTOX® Cosmetic?
BOTOX® or Botulinum Toxin Type A is a purified protein produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacterium. It is injected in small amounts at the appropriate areas to prevent muscle motion that is in part the cause of certain types of expression lines and wrinkles.

What kinds of facial lines does it remove?
Prominent facial expression lines, especially horizontal lines on the forehead, vertical lines between the eyebrows, and "crow's feet" are most dramatically improved with treatment.

How is it applied?
A small quantity of solution is injected directly into the muscles that are participating in the creation of prominent furrowing or expression lines, typically several injections are given with each treatment.

How long does it last?
One treatment is usually effective for 3-6 months. Each patient metabolizes BOTOX® at different rates so the treatment may last longer or may not last as long.

Does it hurt ?
When BOTOX® is injected there is a minor sting for a few seconds. Once the injection is complete, there is usually no discomfort. Some patients report mild discomfort that subsides within a minute.

Are there any risks or side effects?
About one percent of those treated have report reduced muscle movement in non-intended areas. The most common change is temporary eyelid drooping.
