Financing Options Q - What is Botox?
Botox Cosmetic is a non-surgical injectable procedure which can temporarily eliminate frown lines, forehead lines, crow’s feet, and lipstick lines, return the corners of the mouth to an upturned position, create a more youthful-looking upper lip, and eliminate an “orange-peel” appearance of the chin.
Q - How does Botox work?
Botox works by temporarily relaxing the muscles responsible for expression lines on the face.

Men and women who are seeking a more relaxed and refreshed look may be good candidates for Botox.
Q - Where is the Botox procedure performed?
The Botox procedure is performed in Dr. Vitenas’ office.
Q - Is anesthesia used for the Botox procedure?
Local numbing is necessary only when treating the area around the mouth because sensitivity is greater there. Other areas do not require anesthesia.
Q - How is the Botox procedure performed?
The Botox is injected directly into specific muscles using only the tiniest needles available.
Q - How long is the procedure time for Botox?
The Botox injection takes less than thirty minutes to perform.

There is little pain associated with the Botox injection. Patients may experience a brief sensation similar to a pin prick.

As with any injectable procedure, patients may experience some minor bruising at the injection site.

Though some minor bruising may occur at the injection site, patients are able to immediately return to work and other normal activities after receiving a Botox treatment.

Q - Is the cost of the Botox injection covered by insurance?
While patients should consult with their own insurance carrier, Botox injections are generally not covered by insurance when performed for cosmetic reasons alone. Some amount of coverage may be provided when used for medical purposes, such as for the treatment of migraines.
