BOTOX® Cosmetic for Wrinkles of Expression |
| |
 |
BOTOX® has gained significant popularity in recent years. As a National Educator for Botox Cosmetic and Allergan Corp.(the makers of Botox®), Dr. Hall teaches physicians from all over the country. Dr. Hall has performed over 5000 injections over the last 8 years, and is skilled in many of the newer advanced uses of Botox for: excessive sweating, neck bands and wrinkles, chin creases and dimpling, lip lines, and lower facial shaping.
BOTOX® Cosmetic is the solution for many wrinkles, which 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, crow's feet, or forehead lines are due to the contraction of a muscle under the skin in that area. We have known for years that surgically cutting the muscle will improve the wrinkle. Luckily, BOTOX® Cosmetic offers a much safer, less invasive option and provides more predictable and enhanced results. Some have called this unique therapy "a facelift in a bottle"..

Frequently Asked Questions |
| |
What is BOTOX® Cosmetic for?
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a safe effective treatment to reverse the visible signs of aging such as crow's feet, frown lines and forehead lines.
What are BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments like?
BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments are simple with only minimal discomfort and take only a few minutes time. No preparation is needed prior to a treatment. Using a tiny micro-needle, a small amount of BOTOX® Cosmetic is injected into the overactive facial muscles in the regions to be treated. Normal activity can be resumed immediately following a treatment.
What are the expected results of BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments?
BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments are a very effective means of reducing dynamic facial wrinkles such as crow's feet, frown lines and forehead lines leading to a more youthful, pleasant appearance. The vast majority of patients are very pleased with their results and find their results improve with sequential treatments.
How long do BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments last?
BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments generally last between three to six months so that two or three treatments a year are sufficient to maintain a more youthful, pleasant appearance. The first few times you will probably need to have the injections every 3 months. After this the facial muscles weaken significantly so that you may be able to wait 4 to 6 months between injections.
How do BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments work?
Dynamic facial wrinkles, one of the most prominent visible signs of aging, result from repeated contraction of certain facial muscles. BOTOX® injections cause these muscles to relax which softens overlying skin wrinkles.
Are BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments safe?
BOTOX® Cosmetic has been safely used for over a decade to treat a variety of medical conditions. When used to treat facial wrinkles, the most common side effect is temporary bruising at the injection site. Rarely, BOTOX® Cosmetic injections can cause temporary weakness of adjacent facial muscles leading to asymmetry of facial expression or a drooping eyelid.
All side effects are temporary, with most lasting no more than a few weeks.
Am I a candidate for BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments?
As long as you are not pregnant or have been told by another physician that you should not have BOTOX®, you are likely a good candidate! |
