Botox® Injections
The cosmetic form of botulinum toxin, often referred to by its product name Botox®, is a popular non-surgical injection that temporarily reduces or eliminates frown lines, forehead creases, crows feet near the eyes and thick bands in the neck. The toxin blocks the nerve impulses, temporarily paralyzing the muscles that cause wrinkles while giving the skin a smoother, more refreshed appearance. Studies have also suggested that Botox® is effective in relieving migraine headaches, excessive sweating and muscle spasms in the neck and eyes.
Frequently Asked Questions about Botox®
Is Botox® safe?
Generally, Botox® Cosmetic treatments are considered safe. Side effects are generally minimal and rare. For example, you may experience slight bruising at the injection site, or temporary drooping of the eyelids.
How long does Botox® last?
Botox treatments will generally last for several months.
Can I have repeat treatments?
Yes. Many patients choose to repeat their Botox® treatments as soon as they feel the effects diminishing, but before the wrinkling returns. In some cases, patients have found that their lines are permanently diminished following multiple Botox® treatments.
