For cosmetic issues, Botox® may be used to combat dynamic wrinkles.

What is Involved in Botox® Injections?

Prior to the injection, the site to be injected will be treated with either a topical anesthetic which sits for 30 minutes or a cold pack. Then, with the use of very small needles, and exact concentration of Botox® is deposited into the desired target muscle such as the forehead, glabella, and/or crow’s feet. Over the course of 1 to 2 weeks, the Botox® reduces the active (dynamic) wrinkles. The procedure is performed in the office. Using It is recommended that you avoid strenuous activities for 24 to 48 hours after the procedure. Up to 80% reduction in wrinkle production may be seen after treatment. Results last from 3 to 6 months. Discomfort and downtime are minimal.

How is Botox® Be Used for Overactive Sweat Glands (Hyperhidrosis)?
