Benefits of BOTOX® Cosmetic
Do you feel it's time to revive your facial appearance, but you're not ready for cosmetic surgery? BOTOX® Cosmetic injections are just one of the non-surgical wrinkle treatments offered by facial plastic surgeon Dr. Adrian Yi. Millions of women and men across the country choose BOTOX® Cosmetic to treat facial wrinkles caused by muscle movement, such as forehead furrows, lines around the eyes, creases along the sides of the mouth, and vertical banding on the neck. Advantages of this treatment include:
- Effective wrinkle treatment
- Minimal recovery period
- Quick and convenient treatments take just minutes
- Benefits last 3 to 6 months
Other non-cosmetic benefits of BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments include minimizing excessive sweating and decreasing the intensity and frequency of migraine headaches.
Dr. Yi believes in a combined approach to rejuvenation that can consist of both surgical and non-surgical treatments. Some patients achieve pleasing results when BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments are combined with dermal fillers or laser resurfacing. Patients with advanced wrinkling, especially those over 55, might require a cosmetic surgery procedure instead, such as brow lift or facelift. Dr. Yi will hold a private consultation with you to customize a treatment plan for your desired improvements.
How It Works
BOTOX® Cosmetic does not fill in wrinkles like other injectables such as Restylane®, JUVÉDERM® Injectable Gel, or Radiesse®; it actually smoothes out the skin itself. This improvement is accomplished by relaxing the facial muscles that cause the wrinkles, which initiates a gradual process of wrinkle softening and smoothing out. Most patients begin to see results within a week, with final improvements that last for about 3 to 6 months.
