Who should consider a Botox injection?
Anyone who has
- Furrows or deep frown lines between the brows
- Deep forehead lines
- Crow’s feet around the eyes
Botox, or botulinum toxin, is a protein that when injected into specific muscles, relaxes them and prevents contraction, thus softening the associated wrinkles in the skin. Botox commonly is used for the treatment of frown lines between the eyebrows, forehead wrinkles, and crow’s feet around the eyes. The injections are given during a standard clinic visit and do not require any special preparation. There is no recovery waiting time and you may return to normal activity immediately. The injections will begin to take effect within 3–5 days and last from 3–6 months.
What is the expected outcome of the procedure?
The treated wrinkles around the forehead, eyebrows and eyes will become softer and more relaxed and the eyebrows will resume a more normal, less tense appearance.
Initial consultation and testing
Plan to spend approximately two hours at the Facial Cosmetic Surgery Clinic during your first visit. This will allow you to have a comprehensive discussion with our facial cosmetic surgeon and find out if Botox is right for you.
Follow-up care
There is no special care required following Botox injections. Your doctor can discuss possible side effects at the time of the procedure. The effects of Botox generally last for 3–6 months. Should you have questions or concerns after your visit, please call the Facial Cosmetic Surgery Clinic at 734.763.9142.
