Botox Cosmetic
Prescott ‑ Prescott Valley ‑ Cottonwood
Botox® is the only FDA-approved prescription medicine that is injected into muscles and is used to temporarily reduce the look of both moderate to severe lines on the face. Most commonly treated areas include the crow’s feet, frown lines and forehead furrows.
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.
