Botox®
Cosmetic
The Hunstad Center for
Cosmetic Plastic Surgery is proud to provide Botox® Cosmetic!
Age, sun and stress can
all contribute to facial lines and wrinkles which can deepen over time,
making us look less than rested. Some of these lines can now be minimized,
and in some cases erased, thanks to the help of Botox® Cosmetic!
Botox® Cosmetic is an FDA
approved prescription injection containing dilute amounts of Clostridium botulinum. In these small amounts, it is very effective in the relaxation of
specific muscles. This controlled relaxation inhibits our ability to
contract muscles that lead to deep lines and wrinkles. Botox® has been
approved for use in minimizing frown lines between the brows, but can be
used in other areas as well, such as in the forehead, Bunny lines and
Crow's feet.
The effects can be seen
within days and can last up to 4-6 months! Most common side effects with
Botox® Cosmetic are: bruising, tenderness and/or swelling to the treated
area. These side effects are temporary and resolve within days.
Occasionally, eyelid droop may be seen after injection. This is caused by
migration of the solution directly after injection. It is important not to
rub the area for at least 12 hours and lying down should be avoided for 3-4
hours following injection.
1. When will I see results from a BOTOX Cosmetic
treatment?
It typically takes up to one week to see the effects after
BOTOX treatment. Some patients see results as early as four days.
2. Is there anything I need to tell my doctor?
Any illness, adverse reactions to certain medications,
pregnancy status, medical conditions, medications prescribed and taken, and
allergies should be given to your medical professionals.
3. Will I still be able to make facial expressions?
Yes, you will still be able to make facial expressions.
The treatment only limits the movement of specific muscles that are
targeted. The limited action of these muscles will prevent wrinkle formation
but not limit facial expression.
4. What will happen to the frown lines between my brows
if I choose not to continue treatments?
The frown lines will continue as before treatment.
5. Do treatment results differ?
Depending upon the medical professional performing the
treatment and the quantity of BOTOX used treatment results can vary. Make
sure to get treatment from a certified injector with exquisite training.
6. What can I expect from BOTOX Cosmetic treatment?
After treatment with BOTOX cosmetic, the elimination of
wrinkles and lines in your forehead, glabella region, and around eyes should
be expected. This helps give you a more youthful appearance
