Botox injection

Are you bothered by those frown lines you see when looking in the mirror? Botox Cosmetic is used by plastic surgeons to reduce wrinkles that are produced by muscle movement. Botox is an FDA approved medication used for many cosmetic and therapeutic medical conditions.

Botox works by blocking the nerves used to move the muscle. The muscle becomes inactive which prevents the wrinkles from forming. During your consultation with the plastic surgeon, you will be asked to point out the wrinkles you want to treat. The most common place to inject botox is the forehead, between the eyebrows and the crows feet. The procedure is quick and minimal discomfort is involved. You will begin to notice the effect of Botox the day after treatment. The full effect will result within four days of injection. Typically results will last anywhere from four to six months

The cost of Botox injections depends upon the number of units injected. After your consultation with the surgeon, you will be quoted a price. You will be able to have your injection at the time of your initial office visit or you may schedule for a later date.
