Botox Injections
Laughter, sadness, anger, and surprise -- your face shows all of your emotions to the world. All of these emotions put your facial muscles to the test, resulting in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Thanks to today’s technology, we can significantly reduce their appearance and prevent early wrinkles and fine lines from becoming permanent using neurotoxins: BOTOX and Dysport. BOTOX can also be injected into the underarms to reduce excessive sweating.
Botox Treatment Overview
Laughter, sadness, anger, and surprise--your face shows all of your emotions to the world. All of these emotions put your facial muscles to the test, resulting in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Thanks to today’s technology, we can significantly reduce their appearance and prevent early wrinkles and fine lines from becoming permanent using neurotoxins: BOTOX and Dysport.

What Botox does
The purified form of Botulinum Toxin A reduces movement of certain facial muscles that cause wrinkles in just 48-72 hours with full treatment effects seen in only 2 weeks! BOTOX and Dysport can address horizontal lines in the forehead, lines between the eyebrows, a dimpled chin, lines around the eyes (crow’s feet), and overactive masseter muscles which lead to a more “square” appearance of the face.
How to prepare for Botox
You must be over 18 to receive injections. We cannot treat patients who are pregnant or nursing. You cannot be treated within 30 days of major dental surgery. We recommend not taking any blood thinners prior to treatment as this can promote bruising.
Neurotoxins may not be right for you if you’ve had recent surgical changes to your face, you have very weak muscles in the treatment area, you have a neurological disorder that affects the nerves & muscles in your face, or if you have an active infection in the desired treatment area.
What to expect during Botox
The treatment is performed by physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and nurse injectors. There will be visible reduction in movement to the areas injected creating a smoother appearance to the skin which lasts for approximately three months. We will schedule a follow-up appointment two weeks after treatment to assess your results.
