Botox

Botox® Cosmetic is simple, non-surgical treatment that Dr. Goldman uses to smooth moderate to severe facial lines in female and male patients.  Many wrinkles are actually creases that have been worn into the skin by making repeated facial expressions for years and years.  These lines are caused by contraction of the muscle under the skin.  Botox® is injected into that muscle to “relax” it by preventing the nerve impulses that cause the contractions.  When this is done – wrinkles just smooth out and become unnoticeable for several months. Our average patient comes back every three to four months for another Botox injection.

Botox® Cosmetic has been used in millions of cosmetic procedures in the United States alone since 2002 when it gained FDA approval for cosmetic use.  It has been used therapeutically to treat a variety of medical conditions in more than 75 countries worldwide.  Botox® should only be administered by or under the direct supervision of a licensed physician – such as Dr. Goldman who is a board certified surgeon and is an expert in the use of injectable treatments.

BOTOX® COSMETIC TREATMENT OVERVIEW:
Using a very small micro-needle – Botox® is injected, in very small doses, into the muscles that cause the severe frown lines.  The untreated areas are not affected at all. Some localized pain, tenderness and redness and/or bruising is normal and to be expected at the injection sites.  This goes away very quickly in a couple of days.  Camouflage with mineral makeup is very effective in covering bruising if bruising does occur. Your results will be clearly visible in a few days to weeks.  Injuries to skin are not helped by Botox.

Do your gums show when you smile?  There is a nonsurgical treatment to help this.  A Botox injection can relax the smile muscles in your upper lip thereby keeping your lip from exposing your gum when you smile.  Botox can also be placed into the lip to help soften the "smoker's lines" which are caused by the lip muscle contraction.
