Botox FAQ from Dermacenter MD
Dynamic wrinkles are caused by contraction
of the same muscles used when you smile, laugh or frown. After
years of repeated muscle use, these lines give an appearance
on the face of being tired, sad, angry or aged – even
when you do not feel that way. The lines are likely deeper
when you do show the emotion. Now you can prevent the formation
of dynamic wrinkles with botulinum toxin.
What is botulinum toxin?
Botulinum toxin for cosmetics is a booming advancement
in cosmetic therapy. It is used to effectively and safely
improve the appearance of frown lines, forehead creases and
“crow’s feet.” Botulinum toxin type A has
been used since 1980 for muscle diseases of the eye, and in
1987, was FDA approved for temporary improvement of wrinkles
in the glabellar area. Botulinum toxin is a purified protein
administered in a simple non-surgical procedure that blocks
nerve signals temporarily.
What is treatment like?
Treatment involves administration of botulinum
toxin directly into the muscles that cause wrinkles via a
few tiny microinjections. The treatment is very well tolerated
by most clients and takes only a few minutes with no “downtime.”
The pain is minimal and you may resume normal activities immediately.
Did You Know?
- Botulinum toxin injection is a leading non-surgical cosmetic
procedure.
- Client satisfaction rating is higher than most cosmetic
enhancements.
- Dermatologists are trained specifically in the skin,
yielding the best results for you.
- Dr. Moore knows your face is the most important image
you put forth and he takes pride in helping enhance your
appearance (*he administers his own injections, not a nurse
or assistant.)
What results can you expect?
Botox injections help smooth out dynamic wrinkles,
leading to a more youthful and pleasant appearance. You can
see results within days after treatment and improvement continues
for the first month. Results typically last up to 4 months.
After that, you may be ready to return for a follow-up treatment.
Are there side effects?
Most people experience only brief minor discomfort.
Some reported side effects after botulinum toxin cosmetic
injection include headache, respiratory infection, flu syndrome,
temporary eyelid droop and nausea. Rarely serious allergic
reactions have been reported. If you have a neurologic disorder,
botulinum toxin may be contraindicated.
Have patients been happy with results?
In recent years, Botulinum toxin type A cosmetic
injection has become one of the most popular physician–administered
cosmetic procedures in the U.S. Surveys indicate many people
feel it is a strong way to invest in yourself.
Our Botox Cosmetic clients have said:
“I love not having the wrinkles anymore.
I also look happier.”
“Dr. Moore did a great job on my brow
lift.”
“This did not hurt, it was so easy I
will do it again.”
“Dr. Moore did the injection himself
and it did great. I actually had another person inject me
in the past and it didn’t work. Dr. Moore is the only
one for my Botox, he does it right.”
