BOTOX Cosmetic Treatment in Bronxville, NY

 

BOTOX® Cosmetic is a prescription drug manufactured by Allergan, Inc., that is considered the gold standard for temporarily relaxing muscles and eliminating the appearance of wrinkles. At Livinz MedSpa in Bronxville, NY, we use BOTOX Cosmetic to treat permanent furrows and deep wrinkles in the skin that are formed by the continual contraction of facial muscles.

 

The Science of BOTOX Cosmetic

 

BOTOX Cosmetic contains a purified and safe form of botulinum toxin A. It is the most extensively researched cosmetic treatment, with approximately 2,500 studies published on its effects.

 

How BOTOX Works

  • Mechanism: Properly placed injections of BOTOX Cosmetic block nerve impulses sent to the targeted muscles.
  • Action: This block weakens the muscle to the point where it cannot contract, thereby temporarily eliminating moderately severe furrows and lines. The result is a smoother, more relaxed appearance.

 

Applications for BOTOX Cosmetic

Although originally approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of eye and muscle spasms, BOTOX Cosmetic was quickly recognized for its significant cosmetic value.

 

Cosmetic Applications

BOTOX Cosmetic is primarily used to treat dynamic wrinkles formed by muscle movement, including:

  • Forehead furrows.
  • Frown lines (between the eyebrows).
  • Crow’s feet (around the eyes).
  • Skin bands on the neck.

 

Therapeutic Medical Applications

In addition to its cosmetic uses, BOTOX is approved to treat a number of medical problems, including:

  • Excessive sweating.
  • Overactive bladder.
  • Neck spasms.
  • Chronic back and jaw pain (TMJ issues).
  • Migraines.

 

BOTOX Cosmetic Procedure and Results

The Injection Experience

  • Comfort: Receiving the injections typically requires no anesthetic, though some doctors choose to numb the area with ice packs or a topical anesthetic cream.
  • Technique: Using a very fine needle, BOTOX Cosmetic is injected directly into the facial muscles that are causing the furrows and lines.

 

Results and Longevity

  • Onset: Results can usually be seen within a few days of treatment.
  • Duration: Results typically last up to four months.
  • Maintenance: Areas that are treated on a regular, consistent basis may retain results longer.

 

Safety Precaution

Injections should only be given by qualified medical professionals.

 

Side Effects of BOTOX Cosmetic

The side effects of BOTOX Cosmetic injections are usually mild and temporary. Normal activities may be resumed immediately after receiving injections.

Common injection-site side effects include:

  • Pain, infection, and inflammation.
  • Tenderness and swelling.
  • Redness, bleeding, and bruising.
