BOTOX®/XEOMIN®

Botox is generally used to treat the muscles of the forehead, between the eyebrows and around the eyes.  Additionally, botox can be used to treat lines around the mouth, turn the corners of the mouth upward, smooth dimpled chins and more.

After care instructions are straightforward and allow you to return to normal activity in 24 hours.  Therefore, our doctor will go over instructions with you before treatment.  Also, you will also be given written and digital copies for your convenience.

Most people report maintaining there results for 3-4 months after treatment.  However, the duration of results depends on the muscle area being injected and your body’s metabolism. For instance, muscles around the mouth tend to need more frequent treatments because these muscles are used more frequently. In contrast, the masseter muscle (treated for those with TMJ) usually lasts around 6 months.

The most common side effects are temporary and include minor pain and some swelling at the injection site.  In addition, minor bleeding and bruising can occur.  Other side effects although rare can occur which include muscle weakness, loss of strength, droopy eyelid or blurred vision.  But, all of these are temporary.

Looking plastic or overdone is a common concern among individuals considering treatment with botox.  This is why the initial consultation is so important. Our doctor will have a detailed discussion with you and develop a personalized treatment plan based on your aesthetic goals.

All injections are done by our physician who is trained in facial anatomy.
