You, Refreshed
We understand that facial lines and wrinkles can impact your confidence. Repeated muscle contractions from expressions like frowning, squinting, or raising your eyebrows cause your skin to furrow and fold, leading to the development of facial lines over time. We offer BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments to help you achieve a smoother, more youthful appearance. We tailor our treatments to each patient's goals. Some patients like to be able to raise their eyebrows while others want to be "frozen". Some patients want a chemical brow lift, others are more concerned with their scowl lines or neck. We treat every patient individually.
What Is BOTOX® Cosmetic?
BOTOX® Cosmetic is an FDA-approved prescription medicine injected into specific muscles to temporarily improve the appearance of moderate to severe:
-
Frown lines between the eyebrows
-
Crow’s feet lines around the eyes
-
Forehead lines
-
Vertical bands connecting the neck and jaw (platysma bands)
By targeting the underlying muscle activity, BOTOX® Cosmetic helps smooth these lines, allowing you to look and feel your best.
How Does BOTOX® Cosmetic Work?
BOTOX® Cosmetic works beneath the skin's surface to temporarily reduce the underlying muscle activity that causes facial lines. By injecting BOTOX® Cosmetic into these muscles, we can help diminish the appearance of lines and wrinkles, resulting in a more refreshed and youthful look.
What to Expect During Treatment
The treatment process is quick and minimally invasive:
-
Consultation: We'll discuss your aesthetic goals and determine if BOTOX® is right for you.
-
Injection: Using a fine needle, we'll administer BOTOX® Cosmetic into the targeted muscles. Patients often describe the sensation as a slight pinch and poke but it is over quickly.
-
Post-Treatment: No downtime is required.
-
Avoid Rubbing or Massaging the Treated Area: Patients should refrain from rubbing or massaging the treated area to prevent the Botox from spreading to unintended muscles.
-
Exercise: It’s advisable to avoid vigorous exercise or physical exertion for at least 24 hours after the treatment. This helps prevent the Botox from moving to other areas of the face. Patients should avoid activities like heavy lifting or strenuous cardio for the first 24 hours.
-
Patients may experience slight swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites, but these typically resolve within a few hours to a day.They should also avoid lying down for at least 4 hours post-treatment to prevent the Botox from migrating.
-
When Will I See Results And How Long Will It Last?
It will take 7-10 days to see the full effect of Botox. The effects typically last up to three or four months for moderate to severe lines. Regular treatments are recommended to maintain your desired appearance.
