Botox® Cosmetic is a non-surgical injectable procedure which can temporarily relax the muscles responsible for expression lines on the face. Botox® Cosmetic may be used to eliminate frown lines, forehead lines, crow's feet, and lipstick lines. It can also 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. This quick, virtually painless injection has been the most popular cosmetic procedure performed in the Unites States for the past three years. Our goal at the Vitenas Skin Institute is to soften the look of the face, making it prettier but not expressionless.
Good candidates for Botox® Cosmetic include men and women of all ages who are seeking a more relaxed and refreshed look. Botox® Cosmetic is also good for younger individuals who are looking to preserve their youthful appearance. The Botox® Cosmetic injection is an in-office procedure that takes less than thirty minutes to complete. Local numbing is only necessary when treating the area around the mouth where sensitivity is greater. We use only the tiniest needles available to inject the Botox® Cosmetic directly into the muscles responsible for expression lines.
There is virtually no downtime associated with Botox® Cosmetic treatment. While all injectable procedures involve a possibility of bruising, patients are generally able to return to work and other normal activities immediately after treatment. The effects of Botox® Cosmetic can be seen within about five to seven days after the injection, though it will take about two weeks before the maximum effect is achieved. The results of Botox® Cosmetic last an average of three months.
