Botulinum Toxin Injections (BOTOX)

Botulinum Toxin (Botox) is most commonly used on “active” wrinkles, those that occur when the muscles of the face are in movement. Functioning as a muscle relaxant, Botox is administered via a series of painless, super-fine injections into those areas of the face where wrinkles most commonly develop. It works to dramatically smoothen frown lines on the forehead and between the brows as well as crow’s feet at the corners of the eyes. Dr. Varveris recommends that Botox be performed every three to nine months to provide lasting and satisfying results.

How BOTOX® Cosmetic Works

A combination of factors can cause facial lines. It’s not just about the cellular changes that may occur, or reduction of collagen, or damage caused by free radicals from the sun and the environment.

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 beneath the surface and temporarily reduces the underlying muscle activity that causes moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet and forehead lines in adults – to help them look visibly smoother.

The number of men choosing treatments like BOTOX® Cosmetic has risen fast – in the past three years alone, men have received over one million botulinum toxin treatments. When surveyed, the majority of men say they want to look good and they’re bothered by the changes they see in the mirror. 80% would choose to treat their crow’s feet first, while 74% would prioritize their forehead lines, and 60% would most like to treat their frown lines.†

†Results from a survey of men to determine most likely treatment areas and top areas of concern for injectable-naive, aesthetically-oriented men aged 30 to 65 years (N=600). Proportion of respondents selecting that area as highest priority to treat using the Maximum Difference (MaxDiff) scaling system.

The actual injection process takes a quick 10 minutes. Dr. Varveris will discuss your treatment goals and perform a facial analysis to determine the appropriate treatment areas for you. Then, some patients report that being injected with BOTOX® Cosmetic feels like a pinch. Dr. Varveris may use ice to numb the treatment area. Or, if you are concerned about discomfort, Dr. Varveris may apply a topical numbing cream before administering your treatment.

You may begin to notice results within 24 to 48 hours, with results lasting up to four months for moderate to severe frown lines. Remember that results vary from patient to patient though, so Dr. Varveris will plan your next appointment based on your results and aesthetic goals.

What are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers consist of various forms of hyaluronic-acid, an important structural component of connective and epithelial tissues. When injected into the skin, dermal fillers restore areas of the face where collagen has broken down. This will plump that area to the point where the wrinkle, depression, or unsightly fold has disappeared. For the best cosmetic results, Dr. Varveris recommends repeating dermal filler injections every three to six months.
