Botox®

Botox has literally changed the way that the world looks at cosmetic procedures. Movie stars swear by it, and every magazine and television show has featured Botox as the number one way to rid our faces of those unwanted frown lines and crow's feet WITHOUT surgery.

Botox is a purified protein that is injected in miniscule amounts into the appropriate muscle, causing it to relax and temporarily improve the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines and crow’s feet. Botox is also used in this office to treat hyperhydrosis or excessive sweating.

Botox has been used for over fifteen years to treat ophthalmological and other medical conditions. It is one of the most widely researched medicines in the word. In 2002 Botox was approved by the FDA to treat frown lines.

After treatment, a patient treated with Botox can still frown and smile, but when they do, the expression wrinkles around the eyes and forehead are diminished. Correction with Botox is very natural and most patients feel that they have a more wide-eyed, rested and less angry look. Botox correction lasts an average of four months; after repeated injections the results may be even longer lasting. Effects of Botox become apparent in the first three to five days after treatment. Botox can be combined with other forms of facial rejuvenation such as collagen injections, laser resurfacing, chemical peels or microdermabrasion.

Botox treatment offers patients the benefits of a quick, simple procedure with no downtime.
