Botox®: turn the clock back on your 11’s
Time machines don’t exist yet. In the meantime, there’s Botox®. Life is full of laughter, frowns and worries. Sometimes the lasting facial marks of life can become one more of those worries. Frown lines between the eyes (“11s”) and other places can affect self-confidence. Your positive attitude on the inside doesn’t reflect on the outside or in the mirror. Isn’t it time for a change? Take a closer look at what we can do for you.
“BOTOX® Cosmetic is the only approved treatment to temporarily improve the appearance of both moderate to severe frown lines between the brows and crow’s feet lines in adults.”
What is Botox®?
Many women and men are looking for a nonsurgical way to regain their youthful appearance. In the past surgery was the only option. Facelifts, forehead lifts and eye lifts gave patients extreme results beyond their desire. Along with painful and long recovery. It’s a new era in your cosmetic choices. Botox® can be a viable choice! It’s a prescription-only injectable precisely distributed into common areas of concern to temporarily relax these muscles. Botox® is a simple in-office procedure with minimal discomfort and no downtime. Have an hour for lunch? Forego the office get together to pamper yourself. Be in and out with a renewed look before your boss picks up the check at Chili’s!

What can I expect with Botox®?
Managing expectations with any cosmetic or medical treatment is important. It’s easy with Botox®. You can expect minimal discomfort with no anesthetic used. However, ice can be used to numb the area. Patients describe the sensation as the same with any other type of shot. But, this injection is quick and precise. Full results will appear within 24-28 hours. These last on average for three months. One of the best parts of Botox® is that you can apply makeup right away. Go right back to your routine lifestyle.
