Botox and Dysport Wrinkle Treatment

Botox® Cosmetic is a purified protein produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacterium. It blocks the transmission of nerve impulses to the injected muscles. The effects of Botox Cosmetic are usually confined to the injected region; it does not travel throughout the body.

Procedure Description

Using a very tiny needle, small amounts of Botox are injected into the muscles to be relaxed.
Depending on the areas being treated, five to 15 needle pricks (or more) may be required.

Recuperation and Healing

Discomfort is minimal and lasts only a few seconds.
You can ask for an ice pack or anesthetic cream.

What to Expect (Results)

Botox reduces dynamic facial wrinkles such as crow's feet, frown lines and forehead lines leading to a more youthful, pleasant appearance.
The results last for three to six months.

Insurance Coverage

Because this procedure is considered cosmetic, it is not covered by insurance. The patient is responsible for payment.
