A safe and effective way to treat aging skin and wrinkles, BOTOX Cosmetic is the most common non-invasive cosmetic treatment in the United States.
BOTOX is made of botulinum toxin, which was developed to treat the visible signs of aging by minimizing the appearance of wrinkles. It has proven to be one of the best non-surgical forms of facial rejuvenation—capable of producing wonderful aesthetic improvements.
In short, BOTOX can make your face look younger and more relaxed. Well-done BOTOX injections can:
BOTOX injections relax the muscles that are causing facial wrinkles. They work by blocking signals from the nerve to the facial muscles, thereby relaxing them. Once the underlying muscles are relaxed, the skin will smooth out.
Our discerning BOTOX patients want to look like themselves after their injections, just younger and more relaxed, and that is exactly what Dr. Firouz aims to deliver.
Many of our patients start getting BOTOX in their 20s and 30s to prevent new wrinkles from forming. Others begin in their 40s and 50s when they need to correct deeper lines that have been around for a while. Whenever you begin, you are sure to see excellent results with BOTOX injections with Dr. Firouz.
BOTOX is safe and effective for most people. If you are in good health, not allergic to any of BOTOX’s ingredients, and are not taking blood thinners, there is a good chance that you will be a candidate.
Most people start to see the results in three to five days and they will last for about five months. The muscle-relaxing effects will gradually fade as your body metabolizes the BOTOX.
It depends on your goals. If you want to maintain your BOTOX results, we recommend routine maintenance injections every three to four months.
Most people do not develop any side effects from BOTOX injections. When they do occur, they are mild and include temporary bruising, swelling, and redness.
