Fortunately, thanks to a simple, in-office, quick-fix treatment called Botox^®, it is possible to smooth out deep facial lines and look younger before you welcome in the new year!

What is Botox?

Botox^® is a purified protein derived from clostridium botulinum bacteria. When injected into a muscle, it acts as a nerve impulse blocker; in other words, it keeps muscles from contracting thus working wonders on forehead creases, frown lines between the eyes, and crow's-feet.

Who can benefit most from these injections?

Botox^® works best for what are known as dynamic wrinkles. Dynamic facial wrinkles are wrinkles that occur over time due to muscle contractions resulting from facial expressions such frowning, smiling or laughing.

Are the results permanent?

The effects of Botox^® injects are not permanent lasting approximately 3 to 6 months. Therefore, to maintain results, the procedure must be repeated at that time.

How Long Does The Procedure Take?

Once the area to be treated is mapped out, the actual injections themselves take only a few minutes to administer. Usually, a topical anesthetic cream is applied to the area prior to the procedure, the area becomes numb and there is no pain. Otherwise, patients just feel a needle prick.

How soon will I see results?

Botox^® typically produces noticeable wrinkle reduction in 5-7 days. As mentioned earlier, the results achieved last anywhere from 3 to 6 months.
