HOW DOES BOTOX® WORK? Botox® is a purified version of Botulinum Toxin A, approved to temporarily relax frown lines in the middle of the forehead, just above the nose. More recently, it has also been FDA-approved for crow's feet. Botox® works by blocking nerve impulses to the injected muscles. Botox, actually is not used to fill in wrinkles. Rather, it is used to relax muscles, making it effective for erasing dynamic wrinkles, those formed by muscle contractions. This reduces muscle activity that causes moderate to severe lines and wrinkles. Physician-administered BotoxDuring your consultation, Dr. Swati Mungekar, Board Certified Physician, will review your health history and examine you to ensure medical safety and identify specific locations for best possible aesthetic outcome. The procedure is done with very fine needle to ensure minimal discomfort. We have developed special techniques so that many of our patients do not feel any pain when very small amounts of Botox® are gently injected in the muscle. This simple and safe procedure is usually completed in within 10-15 minutes, depending on how many sites are being treated.Side effects are uncommon and such risks are carefully considered and explained to you during health history exam. ARE YOU A CANDIDATE FOR BOTOX® ? Botox® is FDA-approved for temporary easing of frown lines and crows feet. If you are unsure where to start, call us and we will supply you with answers based on your individual needs. In general though, all skin types are eligible for the amazing smoothing results of Botox®. Patients who are pregnant or have neuromuscular diseases such as myasthenia gravis should not use Botox ® Cosmetic. The best candidates are women and men who are seeking to improve the look of or remove fine lines in the brow area, around the eyes, smile lines or other areas of the face. Botox is particularly effective for wrinkles of forehead, crow’s feet (also called laughter lines), between the eyes and vertical lip lines (also called smokers lines).WHAT ARE THE OPTIMAL RESULTS FOR BOTOX® ? One can expect to see full results within 3-5 days. The wrinkles will be reduced, fine lines will disappear, and the lasting effects of Botox® can be seen as far out as 5 months and/or half a year, at which time you can come use the rest of your purchased Botox® units.

FOR MINOR ENHANCEMENTS We suggest that you return for a visit after two weeks, to make minor corrections to get the natural look and feel you desire. You will not see the full effect for three to ten days, and results last approximately four to six months.Suggested Reading: FIVE REASONS TO CHOOSE BOTOX TO MINIMIZE, REDUCE OR ELIMINATE FINE LINES, WRINKLES & CROW'S FEETDisclaimer: All product specific result pictures are from the manufacturer of cosmetic medical products and are presented as examples with the understanding that individual results may vary.
