BOTOX®

It would be wonderful if we could have young looking skin all of our lives, but elements such as the wind and sunlight, coupled with the natural process of aging, take a toll on our bodies especially our face. As we get older, our once youthful expressions begin to create permanent creases and wrinkles in our brow and between our eyes, making us look older than we actually are. After years of crinkling and wrinkling, those glabellar lines start to linger longer and can become more pronounced. For women, whose faces tend to be more animated than men's, and whose skin is typically more delicate, these lines may appear exaggerated and more permanent. If you've tried every over-the-counter cream and lotion on the market, and nothing has worked to erase those bothersome creases and wrinkles on your face, then BOTOX® Cosmetic may be right for you. BOTOX® Cosmetic has worked for millions of men and women.

Treatment with BOTOX® Cosmetic can visibly smooth and soften moderate to severe frown lines between your brows. One 10-minute treatment a few tiny injections and within days there's a noticeable improvement in moderate to severe frown lines between the brows, with results lasting from 3 to 6 months. In clinical trials, nearly 90% of men and women surveyed rated the improvement in the appearance of frown lines between their brows as moderate to better 1 month after treatment. The Institute of Facial and Cosmetic Surgery has many satisfied patients who experience excellent results with BOTOX® Cosmetic as it was effective in smoothing lines on other areas of the face, including crow's feet, wrinkled lip lines, and neckband creases.

The procedure is quite simple and no anesthesia is required, although we may choose to numb the area with a cold pack or anesthetic cream prior to the injection. The Doctor will first determine where to administer the injections by examining your ability to move certain muscles in your brow area. The location, size, and use of the muscles that create a furrowed brow vary markedly among individuals. Then we administer several tiny injections of BOTOX® Cosmetic directly into the muscles that cause those frown lines between the brows. Our patients report that there is little discomfort during treatment, comparing the sensation of a 'pin prick.' Patients are able to resume normal activity immediately. The procedure is so easy that you can have it done during your lunch break.

If you've notice how those moderate to severe lines between your eyes and eyebrows may be adding years to your age, ask our professional staff how BOTOX® Cosmetic can help you turn back time and give you a more youthful appearance. Our office takes an artistic approach and will personalize all surgical and non-surgical services that are right for your unique face.
