WHAT AREAS DOES BOTOX® TREAT?

BOTOX® Cosmetic can be used to treat:

  • Forehead

    Frown

    Crow’s feet (eyes)

    Botox reduces the visibility of crow's feet by relaxing the muscles that surround the corners of the eyes. After you have Botox, you should notice that the skin underneath and around your eyes looks

    smoother, and the difference should be particularly distinctive when you smile.

     

    Bunny lines (nose)

    Depressor anguli oris (framing the mouth)

    Lip lines (upper/lower lips)

    Platysmal bands (neck)

    Day-to-Day Stressors

    Brow lifters

    Masseters (jaw muscles)

    Mentalis (dimpled chin)

    Under eyes

    Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating)

     

    Muscle Contractures

    Lazy Eye

    Neck Bands

    Neck Botox is the treatment of smoothing out the lines on the neck by injecting Botox into the platysma muscle. Botox is injected into this muscle to weaken it. In doing so, Botox targets the muscle that causes the look of bands, resulting in a smoother and tighter-looking neck.
    On a side note, in case you’re not familiar with how Botox works, Botox does not tighten or lift the skin; it relaxes the muscles, which results in smooth skin and reduced wrinkles.
    And smooth skin gives the illusion of tight skin. When wrinkles are out of the equation, the skin just looks tighter.
    Before considering other invasive, and potentially more expensive options, Botox can help a lot with the appearance of neck lines and bands. Also, when the platysma is relaxed, the horizontal fine lines soften too.
    And as the platysma is too weak to pull the face down, the look of the lower face improves as well. Neck Botox is the simplest form of neck rejuvenation.

     

    Sweat Glands

    BOTOX stop the sweat glands from producing too much sweat

    You may be a candidate for Botox if your sweating fails to improve with prescription antiperspirants. Botox has been FDA-approved for people who sweat excessively from their armpits. It may also be used “off-label” to reduce sweating in other areas, such as the hands, feet, and face.

    Chronic Migraine

    Botox works for migraine headaches because it blocks chemicals called neurotransmitters that carry pain signals from your brain. Botox is like a roadblock in that pathway. It stops the chemicals before they get to the nerve endings around your head and neck.

How Does it work?

BOTOX® is a neurotoxic protein which is produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. Clostridium botulinum is an organism found in the natural environment where it is largely inactive and non-toxic. Clostridium botulinum, the organism from which Botox is derived, is found in inactive form in the natural environment, including in the forest and cultivated soils, and in the sediment of lakes, streams, coastal and untreated waters.

BOTOX® Cosmetic is a neuro-toxin treatment that must be directly injected with a needle into:

  • muscles to improve the look of moderate-to-severe frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines)
  • the area around the side of the eyes to improve the look of moderate to severe crow’s feet lines

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE TREATMENT?

Typically immediately following the injections, the injection site may become slightly red and tender and slightly red. This is a normal reaction that the body has to both the needle and the BOTOX® solution. These reactions usually subside within a few hours to a day after the treatment.More serious side effects can happen but are extremely rare. These reactions can include severe allergic reactions, skin rashes, dizziness or trouble breathing. We will provide you with all the information regarding this prior to your treatment. The results are typically at their best shortly following treatment (a few days or so). Over time the results become less noticeable as your body gradually removes the neuro-toxin from the muscle tissues over time returning complete movement to the treated muscles. BOTOX® is designed to be re-injected about every 3 to 4 months. Once you begin treatment our office automatically reminds you when it is time or your next treatment. The "elevens" - These are the vertical lines between the eyes that appear when the eyebrows are furrowed or the nose is scrunched up. BOTOX® has also been approved for treatment of: Excessive Sweating - Also known as Focal Hyperhidrosis Eye Spasms and Twitching - Also known as Blepharospasm Crossed Eyes - Also known as Strabismus (improper alignment of the eyes) Chronic Migraines Various Muscular Conditions Bladder Weakness Bowel Disorders
