What Causes Frown Lines & Crow's
Feet? |
 |
Those unwanted frown lines and crow's
feet are what doctors refer to as "dynamic" wrinkles,
meaning that they are caused by the repetitive movement of
an underlying muscle. As we age our skin is less tight, and
this repetitive movement caused by squinting, worrying, etc.,
eventually causes our skin to crease or wrinkle. |

| How Does BOTOX®
Reduce The Signs Of Aging? |
BOTOX® is a purified form of
the botulinum toxin. It is injected in miniscule amounts
into the appropriate muscle causing the muscle to relax
and thus diminish or eliminate the dynamic line or furrow.
BOTOX® has been used for over ten years to treat
ophthalmological disorders, and is fast becoming the
chosen non-surgical treatment to reverse signs of aging.
After treatment, a patient treated with BOTOX® can
still frown and smile, but the expression wrinkles around
the eyes and forehead are diminished when they do. Normal
facial expression is unaffected. Correction with BOTOX®
is very natural, and most patients treated feel that
they have a more wide-eyed, rested and less angry look.

What Areas Can Be Treated With BOTOX®? |
| |
Most commonly BOTOX® is used around
the eyes (crow's feet) and on the forehead (frown lines) to
reduce dynamic lines and furrows. It can also be used to treat
prominent neck bands or cords. Although great results are
obtained on the upper face, we have also seen sucess after
the treatment of upper lips, marionette lines and chin rippling.
BOTOX® injections are also highly sucessful for the treatment
of excess sweating of the palms, soles, and armpits. |

How Long Does BOTOX® Correction
Last? |
| |
BOTOX® correction lasts an average
of four months. After repeated injections the results may
be even longer lasting. |
|
| |
|
| |
What Can I Expect From The Procedure? |
| |
BOTOX® treatments are merely a simple
injection. Most describe the injection sensation as feeling
like a bug bite. The treatment is performed literally in a
matter of minutes. No specific care is needed after the treatment. |
|
| |
|
| |
Are There Any Side Effects? |
| |
The most common side effect of BOTOX®
treatment is a temporary bruising at the injection site. This
generally goes away within a couple of days, and can be covered
up with makeup. In rare cases the BOTOX® can travel, causing
a droop in an eyelid. The effects are completely temporary.
Dr. Goldberg will discuss with you at length any side effects
that can be caused by BOTOX® injections.

disorders.
