Botox®

BOTOX^® Cosmetic combats dynamic wrinkles of the face. Medically known as Botulinum Toxin Type A, BOTOX^® Cosmetic is injected into the muscle around the wrinkled area to relax the wrinkle.

Made from a natural substance, BOTOX^® Cosmetic removes facial wrinkles, neckbands or crows feet. Almost five million Americans use BOTOX^® Cosmetic because it is relatively easy and safe; in fact women and men both embrace it as a simple and effective way to remove those age lines naturally etched in our skin over time.

Ideal Candidate

Patients between the ages of 18 and 65 that want to minimize moderate or severe facial lines that form when that area of the face is moved are good candidates for BOTOX^® Cosmetic.

Preparation

There are no special preparations for being treated with BOTOX^® Cosmetic.

Treatment

Prior to treatment, Dr. Martens may numb the area with a cold pack to reduce discomfort.  Dr. Martens administers tiny injections of BOTOX^® Cosmetic directly into the muscles that cause the wrinkles the patient is targeting.

The entire treatment takes approximately ten minutes.

Recovery
