When you smile, laugh, frown, or look puzzled, you contract the muscles in your face. Over time, these contractions produce permanent furrows and deep wrinkles in the skin, especially around the eyes and mouth, between the eyebrows, and on the forehead. These lines can make you look older, sad, angry, or tired. BOTOX® cosmetic injections not only prevent you from deepening lines during natural facial movements, but they can also erase these marks of aging, leaving you looking younger and refreshed. At Mitchell Eye Center, our staff is highly qualified to administer the procedure. If you are interested in getting BOTOX®, here is what you need to know.
The Facts:
- BOTOX® cosmetic injections are medically approved in 78 countries worldwide.
- Since 2002, approximately 10.9 million vials of BOTOX® have been sold in the United States.
- After receiving a BOTOX® cosmetic injection, you may begin to notice results within two days. These results can last up to four months.
- While most patients do not feel more than a pinching sensation at the time of injection, you may ask your Boca Raton cosmetic doctor to administer numbing cream beforehand.
How Does Botox® Work?
BOTOX® cosmetic injections, like those offered at the Mitchell Eye Center in Boca Raton, FL, target the muscles in your face that have grown weary after many years of naturally contracting. BOTOX® which is based on protein refined from a bacterium known as Clostridium botulinum reduces muscle activity, smoothing out those areas of the face. The result: younger, firmer-looking skin.
