What is Botox?
Botox (onabotulinumtoxinA) temporarily softens muscle contractions responsible for the appearance of wrinkles and etched-in facial lines. When used cosmetically, it is FDA approved to reduce the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines in adults.
Botox can be used to treat:
Forehead lines
Crow’s feet
Frown lines
Vertical lip lines (smoker’s lines)
Neck lines, decolletage lines
Dull skin texture and tone and facial flushing (micro-botox)
Gummy smile
Excess sweating (armpits, scalp, hands and feet)
Treatment results in minimal downtime. Most patients can return to their daily routine after you leave our office. You may begin to notice results within 48 hours for moderate to severe frown lines. Full results take 2 weeks, so be sure to plan ahead for any big events.
No cookie-cutter treatments, ever. Dr. Riemer customizes each patient’s treatment plan to deliver predictable, subtle results, so you look like you, refreshed and rejuvenated.
The Science Behind the Treatment
Repeated muscle contractions from frowning, squinting, or raising eyebrows cause skin to furrow and fold, gradually resulting in the formation of facial lines. BOTOX ® Cosmetic works to temporarily soften the underlying muscle activity that causes moderate to severe wrinkle lines – to help them look visibly smoother.
