Botox® Cosmetic is injected directly into the muscles between your brows.  It works by blocking the transmission of nerve impulses to the injected muscles; this reduces the activity of the muscles that cause persistent lines to form. 

Within days, you may see a marked improvement in the moderate to severe frown lines between your brows.  Lines continue to improve for up to a month, and results can last up to 4 months.  In clinical trials, nearly 90% of men and women rated the improvement in their appearance as moderate to better 1 month after treatment.  Results may vary. 

Results from a Botox® Cosmetic  treatment can last for up to 4 months.  If you discontinue treatment, the frown lines between your brows gradually will look like they did prior to treatment.

A physician with specialized training from an  Allergan certified program is best trained in administering Botox® Cosmetic.  The physicians at Light Touch Laser Clinic are Allergan certified and experienced in the administration of Botox® Cosmetic.

Discomfort is usually minimal and brief.  Prior to injecting, your physician may choose to numb the area with a cold ice pack or anesthetic cream.  The entire procedure takes approximately 10 minutes.  Many people are in and out of the office without downtime following Botox® Cosmetic treatment.

Botox® Cosmetic should not be used in the presence of infection at the proposed injection site(s) and in individuals with known hypersensitivity to any ingredient in the formulation.  Patients with neuromuscular disorders such as ALS, myasthenia gravis or Lambert-Eaton syndrome may be at increased risk of serious side effects.

The most common side effects following injection include temporary eyelid droop and nausea.  Localized pain, infection, inflammation, tenderness, swelling, redness, and/or bleeding/bruising may be associated with the injection.  Patients with certain neuromuscular disorders such as ALS, myasthenia gravis, or Lambert-Eaton syndrome may be at increased risk of serious side effects.

Although the results are visible, a treatment with Botox® Cosmetic will not radically change your facial appearance or make you look as if you "had work done."  The muscle activity that causes frown lines between the brows is simply reduced, so you can still frown or look surprised without the wrinkles and creases between your brows.   

If you do not continue treatments, the moderate to severe frown lines between your brows will gradually look like they did before treatment. 

When considering your facial aesthetic options, Botox® Cosmetic is quite affordable.  According to an American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery survey, Botox® Cosmetic is one of the low-entry-cost facial aesthetic procedures in the United States.  Like other appearance-related investments, such as hair coloring and cuts, teeth whitening, and chemical peels, the cost must be weighed relative to your expectations.  Call us and schedule your free consultation today.
