BOTOX®
Many are turning to BOTOX® to reduce frown lines between their brows, forehead wrinkles and crow's feet. BOTOX® can brighten up your attitude and outlook, remove the wrinkles of time or make small improvements in an otherwise perfect face.
BOTOX®: Safe, No Downtime, Consistant Results, Satisfied Patients, Minimal and Brief Discomfort.
What is BOTOX® Cosmetic?
BOTOX® is specially formulated with a purified protein, which relaxes the muscles when injected in the targeted area, ultimately reducing the appearance of frown lines and facial wrinkles. It is a minimally invasive procedure, allowing patients to return to normal daily activities immediately following the procedure. A topical anesthesia can be used, if necessary.
Is BOTOX® safe?
FDA approved, Botox® is a safe and effective procedure that provides patients with results that can last anywhere from 3-5 months on average. BOTOX® has been used for over 20 years for a variety of medical conditions and has been FDA approved for cosmetic usage since 2002.
What are common side effects?
Following the BOTOX® procedure it is not uncommon to experience some minor swelling, redness or bruising around the targeted site. Patients can take Tylenol and/or use ice packs to help reduce swelling and relieve any discomfort. Other side effects include drooping of the eyelid, nausea, headache and respiratory infection, but only occur in about 1% of patients. They are temporary and usually resolve themselves within a few weeks.
Have patients been happy with their results?
A recent survey reported that about 97% of patients were satisfied with the results of BOTOX®. Advanced Skin Institute has patients follow up at our office two weeks after their treatment to make sure they are satisfied. If a small touch up is done at this time it is usually free of charge.
How can I be sure I am getting real BOTOX® Cosmetic?
Only licensed and trained healthcare professionals have the experience necessary to administer BOTOX®. The providers at Advanced Skin Institute have been using BOTOX® for 10 years and have performed and published clinic trials on BOTOX®.
