WINDSOR BOTOX & COSMETIC INJECTION
BOTOX COSMETIC® injections are a relatively new procedure using Botulinum Toxin which was developed to treat the visual signs of aging by reducing or removing wrinkles. The procedure is considered a safe, effective way of treating aging skin. Common areas for Botox Cosmetic® injections include horizontal forehead furrows, vertical lines between the eyebrows and “crow’s feet” around the eyes. Botox Cosmetic® injections have proven to be the best non-surgical form of facial rejuvenation and are capable of producing phenomenal improvements in your appearance.
Reasons for Considering a Botox Injection treatment in Windsor:
- Excessive facial wrinkles.
- Large wrinkles or furrows in your forehead.
- Small wrinkles or “crow’s feet” around your eyes.
- A vertical “frown line” between your eyebrows.
General Botox Cosmetic Procedure
The procedure works by altering the facial muscles beneath the skin that are related to wrinkles. A cream with local anesthetic will be placed on your skin prior to treatment, and ice will be immediately applied upon completion of the Botox Cosmetic® treatment. Typically a small amount (1-2 cc’s) of Botox Cosmetic® is injected into the area of the wrinkle. Botox Cosmetic® works by blocking the impulses from the nerve to the facial muscles, thereby relaxing them. The result is the underlying facial muscles relax and the skin begins to smooth out. The effects of a Botox Cosmetic® treatment will last approximately three to six months after which the patient may choose to repeat the procedure.
Botox Cosmetic Recovery Process
Our Windsor patients generally return to their normal activities immediately after the procedure, however following the post-procedure guidelines will dramatically reduce the length and intensity of the recovery period. Patients should avoid engaging in heavy physical exercise, applying cosmetics, or laying down flat for a minimum of 4 hours after the injections. It is also advisable to avoid rubbing or massaging the injected area for at least 24 hours.
Is Botox Safe?
While botox is widely known to be used for cosmetic purposes, it has been proven to even help prevent migraines. Botox injections are considered safe when administered by a professional. That is why it is important to visit an experienced doctor near you for Botox Injections.
