Botox

BOTOX® Cosmetic is a nonsurgical treatment that can temporarily smooth moderate to severe wrinkles. The toxin in BOTOX® Cosmetic blocks the nerve impulses, temporarily paralyzing the muscles that cause wrinkles while giving the skin a smoother, more refreshed look.

Where is BOTOX® Cosmetic used?

BOTOX® Cosmetic is most often used on frown lines, forehead creases, crow’s feet near the eyes, and thick bands in the neck.

How does the procedure work?

Dr. Francel will treat the area with a series of tiny injections. You may feel a slight sting and experience some minor swelling, bruising, or redness, however, you will be able to immediately return to your daily activities.

What are the results?

You will start seeing results in 3-10 days after the injections. Depending on the individual, a BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment may last up to 3-4 months.
