What is Botox?
Botox Cosmetic, also known as Botulinum Type A, is a non-surgical injectable treatment for moderate to severe lines and wrinkles on the face. Botox acts as a muscle relaxant on the targeted area, smoothing out lines and preventing wrinkles from worsening without altering the patient’s natural appearance.
Botox has been used in over 11 million people in the United States and is effective for both men and women. While 94% of Botox patients in the U.S. are women, Botox is the most popular minimally-invasive physician-administered aesthetic procedure for males in the United States.
FAQs
What are the Advantages of Botox Cosmetic?
Botox Cosmetic offers several advantages over more invasive, aggressive wrinkle treatments such as surgical facelifts. Botox is minimally invasive, causing little to no discomfort or downtime from the procedure. No sedation is necessary and treatment is fast and performed directly at the dermatologist’s office during your visit. Botox may be used with other anti-aging treatments to achieve optimal results. Botox has a quick recovery time.
What Does Botox Treat?
Botox can treat aging found in several areas of the face, including frown lines, crow’s feet, smile lines, and other areas around the mouth, nose, and eyes. Schedule a consultation with one of our dermatologists to discuss your aging concerns and find out the best treatment options for your problem areas.
How Long Do Botox Treatments Last?
The results from Botox injections become visible within a week of the initial treatment session and can last four months. Repeat treatments are necessary to maintain the best results.
