Botox Injections
Botox Injections
Botox is an injectable procedure able to temporarily soften or eliminate certain facial wrinkles like forehead creases, brow furrows and crow's feet. This purified protein can be injected beneath the skin where it temporarily paralyzes muscles responsible for facial expression and associated skin creasing. By eliminating former skin creasing and reducing new skin creasing, the result is a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.
If you are seeking an improvement in forehead creases, brow furrows and/or crows feet, then Botox may be a good option for you. Dr. Wise is happy to meet with you for a consultation to discuss the possibilities available to you through cosmetic surgery and whether or not Botox can best address your needs.
Botox is a minimally-invasive procedure that is commonly performed in the office setting. During the procedure, several tiny injections are administered directly into the muscles. There is little discomfort or pain associated with injection and patients can expect the procedure to last just a few minutes.
There is little recovery associated with the Botox injection, though some patients may experience temporary side effects like minor irritation, redness, bruising and swelling. These side effect typically dissipate within several hours. Most Botox patients find that they can immediately return to work and other normal activities. The full effect of the injection can be seen within several days. The results generally last an average of three to six months.
