Customized BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments are a great choice for anyone who would like dramatic results but do not want to undergo a surgical procedure. A safe and popular treatment, BOTOX® Cosmetic is used at our facility to help reduce the appearance of facial lines and wrinkles, and is approved by the Federal Drug Administration (FDA). BOTOX® Cosmetic injections, or botulinum toxin, is a natural, purified protein that is injected into muscles that cause wrinkles in the face, temporarily relaxing them. BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments leave the overlying skin smooth and unwrinkled, while untreated facial muscles are unaffected, allowing normal facial expressions. BOTOX® Cosmetic is commonly used at our facility to treat “frown lines” that appear between the eyes and eyebrows, “crow’s feet” surrounding the eyes, forehead wrinkles, and thick bands in the neck. BOTOX® Cosmetic is also successful in relieving migraine headaches, excessive sweating, and muscle spasms in the neck and eyes. During treatment, extremely small needles and experienced injection techniques are used to provide an essentially painless experience. There is virtually no recovery time with BOTOX® Cosmetic, and our patients notice that their wrinkles begin to fade one to three days after treatment. Results can last from three to five months. However, additional BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments are recommended every three to five months to maintain the improved appearance. For maximum skin rejuvenation, BOTOX® Cosmetic may be combined with soft tissue fillers, microdermabrasion and other skin resurfacing treatments available at Hillstrom Facial Plastic Surgery.
