Choosing BOTOX in Tucson
Over time, facial muscles can tighten because of repeated facial expressions such as smiling or frowning. These contracted muscles cause what are known as "dynamic wrinkles." The active ingredient in BOTOX Cosmetic causes facial muscles to relax, softening and smoothing out dynamic wrinkles for a more youthful appearance. Treatment takes only minutes and results will begin to appear after just a few days. BOTOX can:
- Diminish facial lines on your forehead
- Improve the appearance of crow's feet around your eyes
- Soften wrinkles between your eyebrows
Before you are treated, you will receive a thorough examination of your facial wrinkles. BOTOX may be used on its own or in conjunction with other skin refreshing treatments.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does BOTOX compare with other skin rejuvenation procedures?
BOTOX Cosmetic treats lines and wrinkles caused by repeated facial muscle movement. Other types of wrinkles, particularly those on the mid to lower face, are often treated with dermal fillers or fat transfer. Other wrinkle treatment options include microdermabrasion, fractional CO2 laser treatment, and IPL photofacial. To treat more advanced wrinkling and sagging skin, a face lift may be recommended.
How long will my results last?
BOTOX Cosmetic results typically last 3 to 5 months before a touch-up treatment is necessary. Duration of results depends on the location of the muscles, individual variation and extent of treatment. Patients who undergo repeat treatment on a schedule basis will see longer-lasting affect of their BOTOX treatment.
Are the injections painful?
Choosing Foothills Dermatology & Facial Plastic Surgery helps to ensure that you'll be comfortable during and after treatment. BOTOX injections take only minutes to perform and there is no downtime. During the procedure, you may experience a slight pinch at the injection location or no discomfort at all. A topical anesthetic is available to minimize discomfort. You can return to daily activities right away and enjoy a renewed sense of youthfulness that lasts for months to come.
