BOTOX® does not affect the nerve itself, so there is no numbness in the area of injection

Most common areas of usage are: frown lines, horizontal forehead lines and the lines at the corner of the eye

Alternative areas are: neck bands, nasolabial (cheek folds), chin creases.

The effects of BOTOX® usually last 3-5 months and sometimes longer with repeat injections

In rare instances, some individuals see little effect from BOTOX®

Some wrinkles are caused by skin laxity and cannot be corrected by injecting BOTOX®

BOTOX® seems to help relieve migraine type headaches in some people

Risks of BOTOX®Injections

Although the long-term results of BOTOX® are not known, it has been used to treat eyelid muscle twitching and for wrinkle therapy for about 10 years

Temporary drooping of muscles, other than those intended for wrinkle therapy resulting in a droopy eyebrow, eyelid, lip or looseness of the neck area.
This unwanted effect is not common and lasts for a few weeks

Hypersensitivity to BOTOX®

What to expect

Redness and swelling for a few days at the injection site

Bruising may result from the injection and may last a few weeks

The effects of BOTOX® will begin to become noticeable in 3 to 5 days

Alternatives to BOTOX®

Forehead and frown lines can be permanently eliminated by removing the nonessential muscle fibers during a Brow lift.

Frown lines can be removed through two small incisions hidden in the scalp using an endoscope

Fillers such as; Restylane, Juviderm, Arte-fill, Hylaform, Radiance, Sculptra, Perlane, Zyderm, Zyplast, collagen, muscle or grafting material like Alloderm can soften the look

Direct excision of the wrinkle line is sometimes done

A Face lift may be necessary to correct wrinkles that are not affected by BOTOX®
