WHAT IS BOTOX COSMETIC?
A combination of factors can cause facial lines. It’s not just about the cellular changes that may occur, or reduction of collagen, or damage caused by free radicals from the sun and the environment.
Repeated muscle contractions from frowning, squinting, or raising eyebrows cause skin to furrow and fold, gradually resulting in the formation of facial lines. Botox Cosmetic is the first and only FDA-approved treatment to temporarily make moderate to severe frown lines, crow's feet and forehead lines look better in adults. Botox Cosmetic is a quick 10-minute treatment that works beneath the surface and temporarily reduces the underlying muscle activity that causes moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet and forehead lines in adults – to help them look better.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
Does it hurt?Some patients may feel a slight discomfort with each laser pulse, sometimes described like the snapping of a rubber band on the skin. This discomfort resolves quickly and is minimized by the patented Dynamic Cooling Device™ (DCD™) or air cooling. For some patients, a topical anesthetic may be used prior to treatment.
-
How many treatment sessions will I need?The number of sessions depends on the area of the body being treated and hair thickness. Multiple treatments are required in most case.
-
How do I prepare for treatment?Hair removal patients should avoid plucking, electrolysis or waxing for six weeks prior to treatment. If you have a history of herpes simplex virus, prophylactic antiviral therapy may be prescribed. Skin should be clean-shaven and thoroughly cleansed, removing any makeup, creams, oils, topical anesthetics or self-tanning products before laser treatment. Do not expose the intended treatment area to tanning booth light prior to or immediately after treatment.
-
What can I expect after treatment?A cool compress or gel pack may be applied for comfort following your treatment. Any redness or swelling should resolve within a few hours.
-
Are these treatments covered by insurance?Most insurance companies do not offer reimbursement for cosmetic procedures. Some carriers will, however, cover the treatment of disfiguring birthmarks such as hemangiomas. Consult your insurance carrier for conclusive information.
