Common Questions and Answers About Botox® Cosmetic

What are Botox® Cosmetic Uses?

Botox® is most effective for wrinkles that are visible when smiling, laughing, raising the eyebrows or for crow\'s feet around the eyes. These wrinkles are called "dynamic" and tend to be much less noticeable when your face is completely relaxed. It also works well for bands in the neck.

Am I a good candidate?

The best candidates for the procedure are those between ages of 25 and 65. In many cases, wrinkles in people over 65 are "static" and do not change when relaxing the face. Other procedures would work better for these patients. Each person is different however, and should undergo a consultation determine the most effective treatment plan.

How is Botox Cosmetic Administered?

A very small amount of Botox® Cosmetic is injected into each or the target areas using a very small needle. Because the needle is fine, only a small amount of the liquid is injected and the associated discomfort is minimal. Most patients compare the sensation to light pinch. No sedation or local anesthetic is necessary and you can resume normal activities immediately afterwards.

Botox® combats wrinkles that are created when nerve cells within the muscles beneath the skin release a chemical called acetylcholine. Results are fully evident within three to eight days after treatment and remain for a minimum of three to five months.

Botox®  typically reduces wrinkles by 80 percent. Patients are typically between the ages of 25 and 60. Results vary among individual cases, and the results are temporary.

Are the injections painful?

The injections are very small and done with a tiny 31g needle that usually does not cause discomfort. The pressure sensation associated with the injection goes away very quickly and patients can return to normal activities immediately after the procedure.

When will I notice the difference and how long will it last?

The treatment takes three to eight days to take full effect which sometimes can be hastened by contracting the facial muscles. The results usually last from 3 to 5 months. Botox®  typically reduces wrinkles by 80 percent. Patients are typically between the ages of 25 and 65. Results vary among individual cases, and the results are not permenant.

Often, repeated treatments can lead to longer results. The effects of Botox® Cosmetic are confined to the treatment sites.

What happens as treatment begins to wear off?

As the Botox® Cosmetic wears off the wrinkles will begin to reappear but frequently they are not as deep or noticeable. To maintain the smooth, youthful appearance year round, it requires three to four injections. With repeat treatments, the effects tend to last longer thus requiring fewer injections.

Is there any downtime?

No. This is considered a "LunchTIme" procedure. Most people return to work or normally activities immediately following treatment. It is recommended however, that you avoid exercise, heavy lifting and massaging the injected area injected for one day.
