BOTOX® Cosmetic
Botox treatment is a revolutionary approach to reversing the effects of facial wrinkles. Crow’s feet, worry lines and laugh lines can all be a thing of the past.

Pre-Procedure
To better understand your overall health, we will evaluate your medical history. In addition, a complete examination of your face is made in order to decide the most effective injection sites. All issues and concerns will discussed.
The Botox Procedure
Botox injections are performed without anesthesia because it is virtually painless. Only a very small sting is felt when the injections are made. The effects are not permanent and may need to be repeated two to four times per year to retain the effects. Patients over the age of 65 may not experience as dramatic of results. Botox is only useful in treating expression lines and cannot be used to repair deep wrinkles or sagging skin caused by aging.
Post-Procedure Information
After the procedure, patients may experience slight bruising around the area that quickly fades. Normal activities can be performed immediately. Possible side effects are temporary weakness of nearby muscles or in rare cases an eyelid may droop. Botox is completely reversible so any side effect is only a temporary condition. The doctor will explain all risks associated at the time of your consultation.
