Botox® Cosmetic

	Before		After

BOTOX® is a purified protein derived from Clostridium Botulinum.sing a tiny micro-needle, a very small amount of BOTOX® is injected, very precisely, into several locations on the face. These areas typically target muscles that form the vertical lines between your eyebrows, forehead lines, and lines at the corners of your eyes (crow's feet). BOTOX® injections have been used safely and effectively for over ten years to treat many ophthalmologic and neurological disorders. In 2004, over 2 million people were injected with BOTOX®. We purchase our BOTOX® directly from Allergan, the only FDA approved source in the U.S. We use a 1:1 dilution method, which is usually more concentrated that our competitors for the same competitive price. This allows us to dose the right amount of actual Botox protein without as much volume or cost!

How long does the procedure take?

Following the consultation, the actual procedure takes less than 15 minutes. Patients can return to light activities, including work, after the treatment. Your ClarityMD physicians and staff will educate you thoroughly at your consultation.

How does BOTOX® work?

BOTOX® is injected into a targeted facial expression muscle, blocking impulses from the nerve to the muscle, thereby relaxing the muscle so it does not contract. This causes the overlying skin to become smoother, with fewer lines and wrinkles. After treatment, the skin remains smooth and unwrinkled, while the untreated facial muscles contract in a normal fashion, allowing normal facial expression and feeling to be unaffected. The result is a more youthful, rested you. Some appealing side effects can be brow lifting and correcting asymmetry.

If this procedure is repeated regularly as recommended by your ClarityMD physicians, you may need less frequent treatments.

How quickly will I see results?

BOTOX® usually starts relaxing the treated area within several days, but the full effect may not be realized for two weeks. We always follow up with our patients 2 weeks post-procedure to address patient response to this amazing biomedical technology.

How long will BOTOX® last?

The effects last between 3-4 months on average but everyone is different. We advise our patients to have the first 3 treatments precisely at 12 weeks. Typically patients who follow this treatment schedule begin to need less Botox and less frequent visits for treatment!

Over time, the calcium-based microspheres gradually break down and are safely and naturally absorbed by your body. RADIESSE® rebuilds your skin’s foundation without the risks associated with a permanent implant. Results can last up to 12 months. It can be used for correction of deep folds and wrinkles as well as facial recontouring, such as volumizing cheek bones and correcting the jaw line. Learn more at RADIESSE.com
