| 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. |
|
| |
Isn’t BOTOX® a poison, isn’t
it dangerous and doesn’t it lead to paralysis? |
| |
|
| |
No, its one of the safest drugs
in the world. The results and the side effects are always
temporary. |
| |
|
| |
Is BOTOX® only used around the eyes and forehead?
|
| |
|
| |
No, BOTOX® is used for cosmetic
treatments on the upper lip, lower lip, chin, jaw, and
the neck. It also has other medical uses in the underarms,
hands, and feet to prevent excessive sweating. |
| |
|
| |
Is it painful to have BOTOX® treatment? |
| |
|
| |
No, the injections are performed
with such a fine gauge needle that patients do not feel
or mind the pain. Not a single patient of mine, in the
thousands of injection which I have given, complained
that they could not tolerate the completion of the procedure. |
