Treat Frown Lines With Botox Injections
Patients with fine lines may benefit from Botox injections
Botox injections are one of the most popular cosmetic beauty treatments among patients today. Botox treats frown and smile lines and can also smooth wrinkles in order to promote a more youthful appearance. The effects of Botox are reached due to the product’s ability to block the nerve endings that produce wrinkles. The procedure only takes a few minutes and the injections are made by a cosmetic surgeon’s tiny needle into the appropriate facial muscles.
Men or women with faces that have frown lines between their eyebrows may feel that their appearance causes them to look distressed. Wrinkles can also enhance the aging process. Botox candidates are healthy men and women between the ages of 18 and 65. A cosmetic surgeon can qualify a patient for Botox by checking their personal and family medical history among other possible indicators to determine if Botox is appropriate and beneficial to the patient.
Contact our New York City office to learn more about Botox treatment used to eliminate and decrease the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
What is the recovery period after Botox treatment?
A great benefit of Botox is that it is a non-invasive procedure and as such, there is little to no recovery time involved as the patient can immediately return to normal daily activities. Also, the results are seen within a week and can last for up to four months. There are minimal side effects that are involved such as redness or swelling that can potentially occur. These possible side effects usually pass in a very short amount of time and are not severe. Other risks are rare and include nausea, bruising, a drooping eyelid or flu-like symptoms. A professional cosmetic surgeon will check for possible allergic reactions and discuss the entire procedure with a patient in order to ensure maximum comfort prior to undergoing the Botox treatment.
