Botox

Many wrinkles are actually creases that have been worn into the skin by making the same expression thousands of times. These are called "expression lines" or dynamic wrinkles. Typical dynamic wrinkles include frown lines between the eyebrows, crow’s feet around the eyes, and forehead lines. The presence of these wrinkles can add years to our appearance, often making us look angry, tired or worried when we are not.

BOTOX® is a remarkably safe and effective treatment which can help you to control your facial expressions so that you don't look angry or worried when you aren't. BOTOX® treatments can help to prevent the unintended display of negative feelings, and in this way help some people to express themselves more accurately.

Does BOTOX® work for all kinds of wrinkles and skin folds?

Not all facial wrinkles are related only to activity of underlying muscles. These deep creases and skin folds (also known as static wrinkles) are the ones that can still be seen when the skin is lightly stretched with your fingers. Static wrinkles are made worse by sun exposure, by the natural maturing process, and in particular by smoking. Many static wrinkles result from a combination of muscle activity and aging, and can be greatly improved when BOTOX® (to relax the underlying muscles) is used in combination with filling substances like Perlane™, Restylane™ or Artecoll™.

How long does botox last?

The effect of Botox lasts for up to 4 months.In order to get a continuous result some repetitive applications can be done.

What are the possible side effects?

There have been no long-term side effects, allergic reactions or health hazards related to BOTOX® use thus far. Some patients have been getting BOTOX® treatments for more than 10 years, with no problems.

What is Botox?

BOTOX® is a highly purified, naturally occurring protein which has the ability to very precisely relax the muscles to which it is applied. This relaxation lasts for a number of months, and then the treated muscles gradually return to their original condition.

BOTOX® does not affect the nerves responsible for sensation, so there is no numbness in the treated areas.

Is botox painful?

BOTOX® treatments are gentle and quick. No sedation or local anesthetic is required, so you can return to  your daily activities immediately after your treatment. You can certainly drive yourself home or back to the office.

Occasional patients experience a slight temporary bruising, perhaps the size of their baby fingernail, at an injection site. This can be hidden with cover up, and fades away in a few days
