BOTOX® Cosmetic

 

 

Benefits of BOTOX® Cosmetic

 

BOTOX® Cosmetic can dramatically improve all wrinkles that are caused by over active muscles. Most people, both men and women, over the age of 30 can benefit from BOTOX® Cosmetic, if performed correctly. This is not to say that all wrinkles can be removed with BOTOX® Cosmetic. Remember, BOTOX® Cosmetic only helps with wrinkles that are caused by over-active muscles.

 

Static wrinkles, which are always present regardless of whether you're smiling or not, or very fine wrinkles are not removed by BOTOX® Cosmetic. These wrinkles are caused by changes within the skin itself or are due to the aging changes of the skin and underlying fat. Correcting these wrinkles requires a thorough evaluation to determine the exact cause so that the most effective treatment is performed. This could involve Chemical Peeling, Laser Skin Resurfacing, Face Lifting with or without fat resuspension, Fat or Collagen Injection, Blepharoplasty, or Brow Lifting.

 

How can you tell if your wrinkles are caused by over-active muscles? This is definitively determined during your consultation with your doctor. But you can be reasonably sure that BOTOX® Cosmetic will help if the wrinkles are made worse with muscular movement i.e. smiling, elevating the eyebrows, or tightening the neck, etc.

 

The most effective areas for BOTOX® Cosmetic include the furrows of the forehead made worse when you elevate your eyebrow, and the crow's feet area made worse during smiling. Other areas may also be helped such as neck banding, also known as turkey neck. BOTOX® Cosmetic can also be used in conjunction with other procedures.

 

BOTOX® Cosmetic’s benefits can be summarized as follows:

 

  • Very effective at reducing or eliminating dynamic wrinkles.
  • Relatively painless.
  • No anesthesia necessary.
  • Great for crow's feet, laugh lines and forehead wrinkles.
  • No downtime.
  • Relatively low-cost.
  • Minimal risk.
  • Reversible (this may be considered a disadvantage)
  • Quick.
  • Effectively delays the need for more invasive plastic surgery.
