INJECTABLES (BOTOX®, JUVÉDERM®)
💉About BOTOX® Cosmetic
BOTOX® temporarily smooths fine lines and creases created by the constant motion of your facial muscles, activated when you are frowning, squinting, and smiling. Wrinkles develop as a result of these repeated muscle actions. With our BOTOX® treatments, the muscle activity is relaxed, leaving you looking well-rested, refreshed, and younger.
What is BOTOX® Made Of?
BOTOX® is the most popular cosmetic injectable in the world. The active ingredient is derived from a bacteria called clostridium botulinum. When injected in tiny quantities, BOTOX® smooths facial wrinkles and lines. It is FDA-approved and is relied upon by hundreds of thousands of people who love the smoothing effect.
What Can BOTOX® Do for My Look?
BOTOX® treats etched-in lines and creases in the forehead, between the brows, crow’s feet, lipstick lines, bunny lines on the nose, and smoothes vertical bands on the neck. BOTOX® can be injected into the jaw muscles if your face has taken on a “square” appearance due to overactive jaw muscles. BOTOX® is the most trusted neuromodulator on the market, consistently used by millions of people since it was FDA-approved in 2002.
How does the treatment work?
BOTOX® rely on carefully formulated strains of botulinum toxin, which works as a nerve block, reducing activity in the tiny muscles that allow us to laugh, frown or make other faces. Once injected, these miniscule muscles remain at rest, reducing wrinkles and softening the entire complexion. Friends and family members may comment that you look well rested after BOTOX® treatment, and that you look your best in years.
What to expect on the day of the procedure?
Once you arrive at our office, the practitioner will numb your injection sites with a topical anesthetic to ensure your comfort. BOTOX is then injected into your skin using an ultra fine needle that is virtually free from sensation. Each injection session takes about 10-15 minutes on average. Results are fully realized in approximately 3-5 days.
