BOTOX® Injections/BOTOX® Cosmetic

Botox has been around for over 20 years and has been used on millions of people to decrease the appearance of unwanted lines and wrinkles. A medical grade neurotoxin, Botox can be injected as an office procedure and is quick, easy and highly effective. The effects peak between 3 to 5 days and last between 3 and 4 months.

Botox dosage is typically measured in units delivered to a specific treatment "area" or site. Some areas respond well to increased doses for prolonged effects that may last up to 1 year. Periodic Botox treatments (every 4 to 6 months) work best to weaken the muscle(s) responsible for creating the unwanted line or wrinkle. These serial treatments continue to weaken the muscle offering the possibility of an increased duration of effects. Other Neurotoxins that have become available, on the market, include Dysport and Xeomin.

The Main areas for Botox treatments are:

• Glabella (vertical lines between the eyebrows)
• Horizontal forehead lines
• Crow's Feet (horizontal lines at the outside corner of the eyes)
• Vertical lips lines (smoker's lines)
• Horizontal Neck lines
• Platysmal Neck Bands
• Various localized Muscle Hypertrophy (Masseter, Orbicularis Oris)
• Manipulate Eyebrow position
