BOTOX® Cosmetic

	Before		After

BOTOX® is a purified protein derived from the bacterium, Clostridium Botulinum. Using a tiny micro-needle, a very small amount of BOTOX® is injected, very precisely, into several locations on the face typically:

• The vertical lines between your eyebrows
• Forehead lines
• Lines at the corners of your eyes (crow's feet).

BOTOX® injections have been used safely and effectively for over ten years to treat many ophthalmologic and neurological disorders. In 2004, over 2 million people were injected with BOTOX®. We purchase our BOTOX® directly from Allergan, the only FDA approved source in the U.S.

How long does the procedure take?

Following the consultation, the actual procedure takes less than 15 minutes. Since there is no downtime - you can do it at lunchtime – and no one would know you had it done!

How quickly will I see results?

BOTOX® usually starts relaxing the treated area within several days, but the full effect may not be realized for two weeks.

How long will BOTOX® last?

The effects last between 3-4 months on average but everyone is different. We advise our patients to have the first 3 treatments precisely 12 weeks apart and the following 2 treatments precisely 16 weeks apart. Typically patients who follow this treatment schedule begin to need less Botox and they increase the time between treatments.
