Botox has become widely popular with many of our patients for its ability to improve signs of aging, such as wrinkles and fine lines. It is an FDA-cleared treatment that is made from a natural, purified protein that is used to temporarily relax facial muscles giving you a more youthful look. Botox is a neuromuscular blocker and when injected it blocks certain chemical signals from nerves, mostly signals that cause muscles to contract. It can be used to improve the look of moderate to severe conditions, such as:
- Forehead Lines
- Frown Lines
- Crow’s Feet
- Bunny Lines (side of nose)
- Neck Lines
- Dimple Chin
- And more!
The joy of Botox is that it gives you a more youthful appearance without looking like you’ve “had work done.” A typical treatment lasts about 10 minutes and there is minimal discomfort through the procedure. We use a numbing agent to help reduce the discomfort. Typically, people start seeing a difference within 24 to 48 hours after treatment with a continual improvement up to a month. The lasting affect of Botox can vary, but results have shown to last up to 4 months.
