Botox Cosmetic
Did you ever look in the mirror and think to yourself “If I didn’t have those wrinkles I’d look 10 years younger?”
If you answered yes then Botox® may be right for you. Or you may consider the recently FDA approved Dysport®, similar to Botox®. Each as it’s own advantages, during your consultation Dr. Kaufman will determine which is best for you.
Women tend to show more expression in their face and the skin is typically more delicate, so wrinkles appear exaggerated and more permanent. The lines that appear between your brows (glabellar lines), the corner of the eyes (crows feet), and the forehead are a result from facial muscles contracting over time.
Botox® is a simple, 10-minute treatment of a few tiny injections — that can temporarily smooth moderate to severe frown lines between the brows. It is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Discomfort is usually minimal and brief requiring no downtime.
The treatment does not radically change your facial appearance. You can still frown or look surprised — without the wrinkles between your brows! Botox® works by blocking the transmission of nerve impulses to the injected muscles; this reduces the muscle activity that causes wrinkles to form.
Botox® is a purified protein produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacterium. Temporary side effects may include swelling, redness, bruising or weakness of nearby muscles. Botox® has safely been used for over ten years to treat ophthalmologic and neurological disorders.
