BOTOX© Cosmetic

The common "expression lines" that form at the forehead, in between the eyes, and crow's feet are due to the contraction of small, but powerful, muscles underneath the skin. We consciously or unconsciously express ourselves thousands of times in our lifetime. Often at surgical procedures e.g. forehead/brow lift these muscles are weakened to improve lines at the forehead and in between eyebrows.

Newer uses of injectable BOTOX® Cosmetic allow us to weaken the muscles non-surgically. BOTOX® Cosmetic is a purified toxin produced by bacteria. It has no serious side effects. Subsequent to injection, the appropriate muscle weakens and relaxes, thus modifying the wrinkle.

No particular prior preparations are necessary for Botox. Florida patients may experience an initial sting for a few seconds. Thereafter, there is no discomfort. After the initial injection, further treatment may be advised around 6-8 weeks. Generally, the effects should last up to 3-6 months. Several times a year, injections may be undertaken for continued improvement. Often injectable BOTOX® Cosmetic in Florida is an integral part of the overall strategy for total facial rejuvenation.
