BOTOX® Treatments

As we age, frown lines between the eyebrows, “crows feet” around the eyes, and deep forehead “furrows” may become more pronounced and much more noticeable. A relatively recent and highly effective procedure that reverses these visible effects of facial aging incorporates a medication called BOTOX®. BOTOX® has been used since the early 1980’s by neurologists and opthamologists to treat lazy eye, eye spasms and other neurologic disorders. Minute injections of BOTOX® cause facial muscles to relax. As the muscles become less tense, facial wrinkles become more shallow, and blend in to surrounding tissue becoming less obvious. In some instances, wrinkles disappear completely.

BOTOX® treatments are a simple office procedure taking 10 to 15 minutes to complete. Although results are not permanent, improvement with initial treatment can last 3 to 6 months. Repeat treatments can result in an extended time of enhanced appearance. Improved, longer lasting results may be attained by combining BOTOX® with other procedures like Collagen injections, chemical peels, microdermabrasion skin resurfacing and FotoFacials™.
