BOTOX®

Washington, D.C. & Northern Virginia

BOTOX ® is the quickest and most efficient way to rid your face of visible aging signs. The procedure involves no downtime and provides patients with a rejuvenated, younger appearance in a matter of minutes.

 

How BOTOX® Works

 

BOTOX® uses a purified version of Clostridium botulinum, a natural protein. Tiny doses are administered in precise regions in order to achieve a patient’s cosmetic goals.

 

Once injected, the botulinum weakens the muscles controlling facial expressions. By weakening muscles in their resting position, the muscles relax and overlying skin flattens, which results in a natural diminishing of wrinkle appearance.

 

Candidacy for BOTOX®

 

If you desire a fresher facial appearance but are hesitant about facial cosmetic surgery due to the downtime involved, anesthesia fears, or any other reasons, you may be a candidate for BOTOX®.

 

BOTOX® has been used for many other medical purposes as well. Some of these include:

 

• Minimize scar formation
• Treatment of facial paralysis
• Treatment of excessively sweaty armpits and hand palms
• Treatment of migraine headaches

 

Risks and Complications Associated with BOTOX®

 

No permanent side effects have been associated with the injection of BOTOX®. However, on rare occasions, complications can rise and may include:

 

• Unwanted paralysis of nearby muscles
• Partial weakness of surrounding, untreated facial muscles
• Puncturing of a small blood vessel during the injection, resulting in swelling and bruising for approximately one week

 

Additionally, by failing to adequately research your surgeon, you may be putting your overall health at risk. As more patients seek facial cosmetic solutions, black market products claiming wrinkle relaxation have increased in availability.

 

BOTOX® is not a cheap material. By failing to choose the right cosmetic surgeon or purchasing an underground market replica, you are putting your health at risk and may be the victim of botulism poisoning.
