Virginia BOTOX® Procedures
Enhance Youthful Looks
Millions fight the signs of aging with BOTOX® treatments
If you are experiencing wrinkles or expression lines on the face,
forehead or around the eyes, Botox will help these symptoms to
gradually fade giving you a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
A simple, nonsurgical, physician-administered treatment, BOTOX®
Cosmetic can temporarily smooth moderate to severe frown lines
between the brows in people from 18 to 65 years of age. BOTOX®
is safe and effective, and is the only treatment of its type approved
by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
One 10-minute BOTOX® treatment from The MediSpa at Ridgewood
Hill, with a few tiny injections, and within days you will see
a noticeable improvement in moderate to severe frown lines between
the brows. The duration of your results may vary, but BOTOX®
treatment results generally last up to 3 months.
BOTOX® - The fastest growing anti-wrinkle treatment today
According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery,
BOTOX® is the fastest growing anti-wrinkle treatment available.
Since FDA approval in 2002, BOTOX® Cosmetic has become the
most popular of these anti-wrinkle treatments, with over 3 million
procedures being performed in 2005.
What is BOTOX® and how does it work?
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a purified protein, which reduces muscle
activity that cause the frown lines between the brows to form
as one ages. Over the last several years, physicians have used
these muscle-relaxing characteristics of BOTOX® Cosmetic to
correct visible signs of stress and aging. BOTOX® Cosmetic
is also used to treat hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating of
the underarms, palms of hands, and soles of feet.
The contractions and movements of the facial muscles are controlled
by signals from the brain. Botox is injected in minute quantities
into the muscles that cause wrinkles. It works by blocking the
transmission of nerve impulses to the injected muscles; this reduces
the activity of the muscles that cause those persistent lines
to form, while giving the skin a smoother, more refreshed appearance.
The skin's reaction to the muscles is what commonly causes wrinkles.
Are Botox injections suitable for everyone?
Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding are advised to postpone
this procedure until their infants are no longer dependant on
them for nutrition.
Botox is also not be used when there are signs of infection at
the proposed injection site(s) or in individuals with known hypersensitivity
to any ingredient in the formulation. Patients with neuromuscular
disorders such as ALS, myasthenia gravis or Lambert-Eaton syndrome
may be at increased risk of serious side effects.
The Center for Plastic Surgery and MediSpa professionals screen
all patients carefully to ensure safe and effective Botox®
treatments, as well as all other procedures performed.
The Botox® Treatment: How long does it take? Are Botox®
injections painful?
As mentioned above, a Botox treatment generally takes about 10
minutes. It is not necessary to anesthetize the treatment area
due the insignificant degree of discomfort associated with Botox
injections. The discomfort is comparable to being pricked by a
pin.
Botox® is injected with a very thin needle into the area
affected by visible lines. This Botox injection causes the muscles
initiating the lines and wrinkles to relax which reduces the appearance
of undesirable wrinkles and lines on the skin. The skin's reaction
to the muscles is what commonly causes wrinkles. The results of
the Botox treatment may be seen as soon as 3 days following treatment.
The greatest results will be visible in 10-14 days. After the
initial treatment results will last from 3 to 4 months before
they begin to gradually fade away. Additional Botox treatments
should be sought to extend desirable results.
