 WHAT
IS IT? |
| |
| BOTOX® Cosmetic is a miracle
drug; a few tiny injections and years of age
and wrinkles are removed in a few days. Specifically
approved by the FDA for the treatment of frown
lines between the eyebrows, standard treatments
may include removal of forehead lines and
treatment of Crow’s feet lines around
the eyes. At MD Cosmetic & Laser Center,
we also provide innovative treatments with
Botox including eyebrow lifts, lip and chin
wrinkle removal, and neck band treatment. |
| |
| HOW
DOES IT WORK? |
| |
| The wrinkles in the facial
area make us look old and tired. When injected
beneath the skin, BOTOX® Cosmetic causes
the muscles to relax, so that the skin is
no longer puckered. The wrinkles begin to
disappear within a few days after treatment
leaving the skin with a smooth appearance.
The effects of BOTOX® usually wear off
in 4-6 months. |
| |
| WHAT
TO EXPECT AFTER TREATMENT? |
| |
| The tiny injections may cause
some redness for a few hours, however they
do not cause any down time. Patients may return
to full activities and work immediately after
treatment. Occasionally, some bruising may
occur which will last a few days. |
