BOTOX® Treatment

BOTOX® treatment is a minimally invasive technique that has revolutionized the cosmetic approach to rejuvenation of facial skin.

Over-activity of facial muscles can produce marked expression lines or wrinkles. BOTOX® injections relax the muscles. The aim of BOTOX® therapy is to decrease muscle movement in order to reduce the formation of deep lines or creases. When BOTOX® is injected into a muscle that is causing wrinkling of the skin, the overlying skin will temporarily become quite smooth resulting in a more youthful appearance.

When will I notice a difference and how long does it last?
The full effect of BOTOX® is usually not apparent for five to ten days after the treatment. The duration of the BOTOX® effect varies with each individual, but generally lasts between four and six months.

What can I expect during and after BOTOX® treatment?
The procedure involves placing BOTOX® in the area to be treated with a very tiny needle. The actual treatment takes approximately 15 minutes. BOTOX® treatment requires no recovery time and has a very low incidence of side effects.

There may be moderate discomfort for the short treatment period and slight "tenderness to the touch" may occur at treated areas for 24 to 48 hours. Redness and/or swelling are typically minimal. BOTOX® patients can reasonably expect to return to work or attend social engagements immediately following their treatment.

Is BOTOX® suitable for men?
BOTOX® is suitable for both men and women of all ages, both as a preventative and corrective treatment.
