You’re probably familiar with the basics of good skin care: cleansing, toning, moisturizing, exfoliating, sun screen, etc. While these elements are essential to healthy skin, they do very little for those pesky crows feet or vertical lines between the eyebrows that can make you look old, worried or angry.
When the powerful muscles between the brows contract, they draw the brows together, causing the skin to furrow and fold. As you lose elasticity with age, those folds result in deep lines, sometimes referred to as the “elevens.”
During the 10-minute treatment, low doses of BOTOX Cosmetic are administered via a few tiny injections directly into the muscles responsible for frown lines between the brows. By blocking the release of a chemical that causes these muscles to contract, BOTOX Cosmetic enables them to relax.
While BOTOX Cosmetic is typically used for the dynamic lines around the eyes and between the brows, static lines (those deeper lines that are present at rest) may benefit from the use of a dermal filler such as Juvederm Injections or Restalyne Injections. You can learn more about dermal fillers by visiting us at http://www.pvps.com/.
BOTOX Cosmetic results can typically be seen between three to seven days after your treatment. Results may vary, but improvements usually last three to four months. When administered by experienced aesthetic-specialty practitioners and physicians - like those at Ponte Vedra Plastic Surgery - the effects are very localized and you will not lose your ability to smile, laugh or otherwise show expression.
Minimally invasive, BOTOX Cosmetic is the most popular physician-administered cosmetic procedure in the United States, with nearly 3.2 million treatments in 2006, according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.
