Botox
Neurotoxins such as Botox are a great minimally invasive option that carry little to no downtime for achieving aesthetic goals. Botox can be used to treat fine lines and wrinkles on the face that already exist, or it can be started early to try to keep wrinkles from ever forming in the first-place. Botox can also be used in the treatment of migraine headaches, and for the treatment of excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis).
Am I a candidate for Botox?
Whether you have wrinkles already, or are looking to prevent them. Migraines, or hyperhidrosis, most people are candidates for Botox.
How is the procedure done?
Botox is administered in the office using a very small gauge needle. A series of injections are placed in a targeted fashion to treat the desired areas.
What is recovery like?
How long does it last?
There is little to no downtime at all with Botox injection. When injected in the forehead and face we recommend that you not rub or massage your face/forehead for a few hours after injection.
Results vary between people but for most people the effect of the Botox will last 3-6 months.
