BOTOX® Cosmetic injections are utilized to treat dynamic facial wrinkles, restoring a more youthful, rested appearance. BOTOX® injections block the impulses from the nerve to the tiny facial muscles. The muscles relax and the overlying skin smooths. The effects of Botox are temporary with results typically lasting 3 to 6 months.
In the United States in 2009, over 10 million cosmetic procedures were performed. Eighty-five percent of these services were non-surgical with BOTOX® injections being the most common.
The FDA has approved BOTOX® as a temporary treatment for moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows. However, BOTOX® can be used to treat other facial wrinkles as well, such as the lines that fan out from the corners of the eyes (crow's-feet) and the forehead furrow.
Make an appointment with Dr. Onofrey to determine if BOTOX® is right for you. She will evaluate and discuss such things as your skin type, skin thickness and degree of wrinkling when determining whether these injections would be effective for you.
