Botox

BOTOX® Cosmetic is a prescription medicine injected into muscles and used to improve the look of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows, muscles of massification, and cosmetics in people 18 to 65 years of age for a short period (temporary). BOTOX® Cosmetic has an established record of experience that your doctor knows and trusts – precise and predictable!

No anesthesia is required. However, our dentists may numb the area with a cold pack or anesthetic cream. Discomfort is usually minimal and brief. Your dentist will administer a few tiny injections of BOTOX® directly into the muscle.

• No downtime. Patients can immediately resume normal activities.
• No systemic complications associated with Botox injections have been documented.
• Treatment is reversible within several months.
• It may be beneficial for the treatment of migraine headaches.

Botox injections are a temporary solution. The effects last from 3-4 months and require repeat treatments. Possible side effects include local numbness, swelling, bruising, or a burning sensation during injection. Some patients have reported temporary headaches and nausea. Most complications are of short duration and can be avoided with proper injection techniques. A small percentage of patients are reported to experience no improvement at all.
