Botox Cosmetic is a non-surgical injectable procedure which can temporarily relax the muscles responsible for expression lines on the face.
Botox injections 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 little to no downtime associated with a Botox Cosmetic treatment. While there is a small possibility of bruising and/ or redness patients are typically able to go back to to work and resume their normal activities right after treatment. The results of your Botox Cosmetic treatment can be seen within about 5 to 7 days after the injection, although you will not see the full result until about two weeks after your treatment. The results of Botox Cosmetic last an average of three to four months.
