Botox®

Botox®, one of the most sought after cosmetic procedures today, is an injectable treatment that temporarily improves the appearance of moderate to severe lines and wrinkles on the face. Many wrinkles are actually creases that have been worn into the skin by making the same expression thousands of times. These "expression lines," often called frown lines or crow's feet, are due to the contraction of a muscle under the skin in that area.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Botox®?

Botox® is the brand name of botulinum toxin type A that has been in use since 1990. Although Botox® is a toxin, there have been no serious side effects. This is because it is used in extremely small amounts and does not spread throughout the body.

Where can Botox® be injected?

The most common areas to receive Botox® are the frown lines between the eyebrows, the horizontal frown lines, and the crow's feet.

Does the injection hurt?

When Botox® is injected there is an initial minor sting for a few seconds. Once the injection is complete, there is usually no discomfort.

How long does a Botox® treatment last?

Each treatment usually lasts three to five months, at which time another treatment is required. After several treatments, the effects of Botox® may begin to last longer, sometimes up to six to eight months.
