I ONLY use the standard Allergan recommended dilution of 4 units of BOTOX^® per 0.1 ml per injection site.

I use "unit" pricing to charge for BOTOX^® injections, which is the fairest way to charge.

The General Purpose of Using BOTOX^® Cosmetic The basic goal of BOTOX is to weaken an active muscle on the face that causes dynamic wrinkles. Dynamic wrinkles are the deep wrinkles caused by the muscles on your face that make expressions. Obviously you can not weaken some of the facial muscles because you need them to do things like close your eyes, smile and talk. But there are muscles in the face that cause animation that we don't really need, especially when those muscles cause wrinkles. The classic areas to treat are the frown lines, the forehead wrinkles and the crow's feet wrinkles.

The BOTOX^® Injection Procedure The injection procedure is done in the office without the need for any anesthesia. The injection is done with a very fine diabetic needle and there is very little discomfort. It only takes a few minutes to do the injections in the frown line area. The smoothing effect of BOTOX^® will occur in 3 to 5 days. At that time, if you look in the mirror and try to frown, you just can't! It's great! I love doing BOTOX^® for patients because it makes so many people so happy!

Do not take any aspirin, Motrin, Aleve or other similar drugs for 7 to 10 days prior to coming to the office for your injection because they can make you bruise after the injections.

Post-Injection Discomfort There is virtually no post-injection discomfort after BOTOX^® injections. Some patients will have very mild tenderness at the injection sites the next day. As the muscles begin to get affected by the medicine, some patients will feel a little pressure between their eyebrows, like mild sinus pressure. This sensation this will only last a couple of days, if it occurs. If you need something mild for pain you can take Tylenol because it does not affect bleeding so it won't contribute to bruising.

Time Off From Work There is no time off from work required. Many of our patients come to the office during their lunch hour. We are very careful not to cause any bruising and you can apply make up immediately after the injections. There is no limitation of activities at all.

Postoperative Visits To The Office When I do your BOTOX^® injection for the first time I will want to see you again in 2 weeks to make certain you have a good result is and to make sure you like it. The muscle weakening will last for 3 months and you should call the office prior to the effect wearing completely off so I can re-inject you. If you would like, my office can send you a reminder card.

Resuming Normal Activities You can resume all of you normal activities immediately.
