At db Rejuvenation, one way we treat these problem areas is with BOTOX® which is a quick and virtually painless treatment that can help you look rested and rejuvenated. This wrinkle treatment is ideal for both men and women. Continue reading below to learn more about Botox injections, and how the treatment can improve your look!

 

What is BOTOX® Cosmetic?

Botox is an injectable product that is the first and only FDA-approved treatment to temporarily make moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines look better in adults. BOTOX® Cosmetic is a form of Botulinum toxin that has been purified and diluted to be safe for cosmetic use. Botulinum toxin is a muscle relaxant, and when administered in the form of BOTOX®, can significantly ease the appearance of some wrinkles.

How BOTOX® Cosmetic Works?

BOTOX® Cosmetic targets one of the underlying causes of frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines — the repeated muscle contractions from frowning, squinting, smiling, and raising the eyebrows over the years. When injected into facial muscles, the toxin temporarily blocks neuron activity, which prevents full muscle contraction. BOTOX® Cosmetic works beneath the surface and temporarily reduces the underlying muscle activity that causes moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines in adults – to help them look better. BOTOX® injections are an ideal solution for smoothing the skin between eyebrows, eliminating lines on the forehead, and reducing the appearance of crow’s feet around the eyes.

​

What are the Advantages of BOTOX® Cosmetic?

• Fast and effective. A typical treatment will show improvement within 24 to 48 hours, with full results in 30 days, with results lasting up to three to four months for moderate to severe frown lines. Remember that results vary from patient to patient though, so Donna will plan your next appointment based on your results and aesthetic goals Touchup treatments might be needed and we recommend coming back at 2-3 weeks post-treatment. .

• Treatment takes only 10-15 minutes to complete.

• Little discomfort – we take great care in administering these injections.

• There is little to no “downtime.” After the injections, you can return to your daily routine immediately after you leave our office.

• Creates natural-looking outcomes without evidence that you’ve had work done. It delivers predictable, subtle results, so you look like you, only with less noticeable facial lines.

• There is no decrease in sensation or numbness in treated areas.

• Repeated injections of upkeep treatments may cause a muscle memory response to develop, thus enhancing the effects.

​

Before treatment, Donna will have an in-depth consultation to understand your concerns and what facial features you would like to enhance. She will explain all the options to make sure that your treatment satisfies your expectations.

 

Who is the Best Candidate for BOTOX® Cosmetic?

A wide range of patients benefit from BOTOX® therapy. Typically, we treat patients from their 20′s to 80′s. Younger patients and those with fewer wrinkles are good candidates for this procedure because though their wrinkles may not be yet pronounced, Donna can administer BOTOX® as a preventative measure to minimize the creasing of the skin.
