BOTOX® Cosmetic is one of the safest and most predictable aesthetic procedures you can have done. It works quickly, can have dramatic effects and lasts about three months. During your consultation at Well Medical Arts we will review contraindications, such as ALS or other neuromuscular diseases that prevent you from being a candidate for BOTOX® Cosmetic. Bruising can occur at the injection site. Be sure to check out the other Well Medical Arts aesthetic procedures and products while you’re here. Many patients request information on CoolSculpting fat removal and Intense Pulsed Light skin rejuvenation while they’re getting their Botox.
How does BOTOX® Cosmetic Work?
As we age the repetitive contraction of muscles around the eyes, between the eyes and in the forehead create wrinkles and folds in the skin that are not present when we’re younger. The combination of this constant folding of the skin with other environmental damage, such as sun damage and free radical damage (e.g. smoking) results in crow’s feet, smokers lips and other cosmetic concerns.
BOTOX® Cosmetic interrupts the chemical communication between the nerves and the muscles in the treatment site. Your body adjusts to this change in about three months and the muscle once again contracts.
