BOTOX®
THIS PAGE HAS Moved! PLEASE CLICH HERE IF YOU ARE NOT REFRESHED IN 1 SECOND!
BOTOX® is injected into
specific areas and creates temporary loss of
muscle tone, resulting in a reduction of the lines
of the upper face and forehead, and the deep
furrows between the eyebrows to produce a pleasing
effect. After treatment, the overlying skin
remains smooth and unwrinkled while the untreated
facial muscles contract in a normal fashion,
allowing normal facial expression to be
unaffected.
BOTOX® injections take about 10
minutes to perform and last an average of 3-4
months. After 3 or 4 injections, BOTOX® has been
noted to have a long-lasting effect in the
elimination of frown lines, forehead wrinkles and
crow's feet.
No sedation or local anesthetic
is required, and you can resume normal activities
immediately. You can even drive yourself home or
back to the office. The effect of BOTOX® is seen
within 2-5 days after the injections.
Unlike collagen, there are no
allergies associated with BOTOX® and again, there
may be long-lasting or permanent effect. The side
effects, which most commonly involve bruising at
the injection site, are minimal and temporary.
BOTOX® is an excellent treatment
for forehead lines, Crow's feet and frown lines.

Collagen
Collagen is a naturally occurring
protein found in the second layer of skin (the
dermis) which “plumps up” the skin, joints, bones
and ligaments. Injections counteract the effects
of gravity, sun exposure and years of facial
muscle movement by filling out sunken areas and
smoothing lines for a rejuvenated look. Results
may begin to fade in a few months, depending on
the patient’s age, genetic background, skin
quality, lifestyle and body site. Because of this,
and because injections cannot improve severe
wrinkles or deep folds, the procedure is often
combined with facial resurfacing or plastic
surgery for a more satisfying and longer-lasting
outcome.
