Botox Cosmetic

San Diego, California

 

Botox® Cosmetic is a popular noninvasive option for treating deep wrinkles and furrows that frequently appear on the brow. Botox® works by relaxing the muscles of the forehead and reducing the spasms that create deep wrinkles and furrows of the brow. A single Botox® treatment can leave your brow looking smooth, relaxed, and many years younger.

 

For people between 18 and 65 who want to reduce or prevent frown lines, Botox® Cosmetic has been rated as moderately to highly effective by almost 90% of people who have tried it. In fact, the ease and effectiveness of Botox® Cosmetic treatments have made it the most popular aesthetic treatment in the United States for four consecutive years.

 

Botox® is used to treat a very localized area, so that the Botox® injection you receive in your forehead will effectively relax those particular local muscles, relaxing deep furrows and wrinkles, without affecting other facial muscles. So while your forehead will be completely relaxed and look smooth and calm, the rest of your facial muscles will function normally, allowing you a full range of expressions.

 

Created from a purified version of a natural protein, Botox® Cosmetic is a safe, easy solution that can be completed in a single, short office visit. You can also repeat the procedure as often as you like, to restore and maintain your results.

 

The Botox® Cosmetic procedure

 

The procedure for Botox® Cosmetic takes only about ten minutes to complete. Depending on your preferences, we may offer you a mild topical anesthetic or a cold compress to dull the injection site. Then, we will inject Botox® Cosmetic subcutaneously into the area to be treated, usually in several shallow injections.

 

The entire procedure generally takes between ten and fifteen minutes in our local office.

 

Once done, you can immediately return to your normal activities.
As the Botox® Cosmetic begins to work, your forehead will become smoother, tauter, and less furrowed.

 

While it is a long-lasting treatment, Botox® Cosmetic is not a permanent solution. In most cases, a single treatment lasts approximately four months. When the treatment does begin to wear off and wrinkles and furrows reappear, you may choose to have the treatment repeated.
