Botox Treatment & Injections near Robesonia, PA

What is Botox ®?

Allergan ® manufactures and distributes Botox ® Cosmetic, a very popular brand of botulinum toxin that has been FDA-approved for injection into overactive facial muscles. It is designed to alleviate superficial crow's feet, wrinkles, and the frown/laugh lines that these muscles cause. It temporarily relaxes the targeted facial muscles so that they stop contracting and you enjoy a youthful appearance as a result.

Myths and Facts about Botox ®  

Myth 1: Botox ® is unsafe.  

Fact: There is a well-established safety history for Botox ® treatments. Although most people only think of it as a wrinkle treatment, it has been effectively used in a range of medical conditions for decades. In North America, it is the most popular cosmetic treatment to date.  

Myth 2: Botox ® injections are painful.  

Fact: Botox ® injections and treatments are simple and quick. The Registered Nurse will use a tiny needle (think acupuncture size), and a small amount of Botox ®. Any discomfort associated with the procedure is minimal. And, no anesthetic is required, plus there's no downtime following treatment.  

Myth 3: Botox ® is just for women.

Fact: Botox ® is not just for women. Guys who want to smooth out wrinkles and fine lines can benefit from Botox ® injections, too. The only difference is that men have stronger muscles, so they require larger doses of Botox ® to achieve similar results. But, the results of the treatment will usually last just as long for men and women, generally about three to six months.  

Myth 4: Botox ® can be used anywhere on the face.  

Fact: Though Botox ® is certainly a good option for smoothing horizontal forehead lines, tiny frown lines, fine wrinkles and crow's feet, there are other circumstances that it is not well-suited for. If you are looking for more facial volume, like fuller lips, a dermal filler like Juvederm ® or VOLUMA™ would be a better choice.  

Myth 5: Botox ® results are immediate.  

Fact: It only takes a few minutes to inject Botox ®, but you won't start noticing changes until 24-72 hours. This is when the muscles will start to relax, and your frown lines and wrinkles will begin disappearing. It can take seven to ten days for the full effects of smoother, younger looking skin to become readily apparent.  

Botox ® treatments must be provided by a trained and experienced medical professional.
