BOTOX® Cosmetic
Botox® (Botulinum Toxin type A) an FDA approved treatment for the temporary reduction of moderate to severe forehead lines and wrinkles, frown lines and crow’s feet. It is accomplished by injecting small amounts of Botox® solution in the area of the wrinkles. Botox® works by temporarily relaxing the facial muscles that are responsible for producing the wrinkling of the facial skin, thus producing the appearance of smoother, flatter skin.
It is recommended that you not take aspirin, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication, or any blood anti-coagulants before this procedure. These medications may increase the risk of bruising. If you are able to stop these medications, you should do so one (1) week before the procedure.
Patients with certain medical conditions may not have this procedure done. These include those with any type of facial paralysis such as Bell’s palsy, Guillain-Barre Syndrome and Myasthenia Gravis. Patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding should not use Botox®.
The effects of the procedure typically last about 3-5 months. Be advised that it is possible for a patient to experience some adjacent facial muscle relaxation in areas other than the intended target muscle. Most common is the effect of ptosis, or eyelid droop. This condition occurs in less than 3% of injections. It is temporary and will usually resolve before the Botox® wears off.
The main side effects after injection are pain from injection and bruising, which are usually minimal and temporary. Localized hypersensitivity to the saline may also occur temporarily.
Additional injections may be necessary, for which we will charge a retouch fee, if optimal effect is not reached in 10 to 14 days. Botox® has only a temporary effect that lasts approximately 3-5 months and you will need to repeat injections 3-4 times a year to continue the effect.
