Why to Consider a Botox® treatment
- Subtly smooth the vertical “frown line” between your eyebrows.
- “Crow’s Feet”, the small wrinkles around your eyes.
- Large wrinkles or furrows in your forehead.
What is the General Procedure
Botox® works by blocking impulses from the nerve to the facial muscle, thereby relaxing the facial muscles. As the facial muscles relax the skin begins to smooth out. The Botox® treatment will last approximately three to five months. The patient then can elect to repeat the procedure.
What is the Recovery Process
Common side effects associated with the procedure can be minimized and return to normal activities following these tips.
- Follow the instructions given by your provider, both before and after treatment
- Remain in an upright position for 3-4 hours following the procedure
- For 24 hours avoid rubbing or massaging the injected area.
- Avoid heavy physical exercise, bending over or straining for 3-4 hours post procedure.
What is the Cost of Botox®
$11.00/unit overall cost varies depending on the number of units recommended and treatment area
What is Jeuveau
JeuveauTM (onabotulinumtoxinA-vfs) by Evolus has been approved by the FDA for temporary improvement of moderate to severe glabellar lines in adults. It is safe and effective. This new product from evolvusTM is available at Arizona Dermatology Group now.
This new entry in the improvement of your vertical lines between your eyebrows is a longer-lasting competitor to Botox. The clinical studies show that people still had growth at 150 days, so to keep your treatment up it is only needed 3 times a year vs botox at 4 times per year.
