Applications For BOTOX® Cosmetic

Although originally approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of eye and muscle spasms, BOTOX Cosmetic was quickly recognized for its cosmetic value. Properly placed injections of BOTOX Cosmetic block nerve impulses sent to muscles, weakening them to the point where they cannot contract, and temporarily eliminating moderately severe furrows and lines. BOTOX Cosmetic is used to treat the following:

Forehead furrows

Frown lines

Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) of axilla, palms, soles and forehead

Crow’s feet

Skin bands on the neck

BOTOX® Cosmetic Procedure And Results

Using a very fine needle, BOTOX Cosmetic is injected directly into facial muscles that are causing furrows and lines. Receiving the injections requires no anesthetic, but some doctors choose to numb the area to be injected with ice packs or a topical anesthetic cream. Results can usually be seen within a few days of treatment, and typically last up to four months, although areas that are treated on a regular basis may retain results longer. Injections should be given only by qualified medical professionals.

Botox For Frown Lines

Will they come back?

Answer: Yes, Botox lasts 3-4 months on average. Lines are caused by the muscle movement under the skin. Neurotoxins such as Botox, Dysport, Jeuveau, and Xeomin can help reduce that muscle movement temporarily. At this time, there is no permanent treatment.

How much do I need?

Answer: Botox/Dysport is a completely customized treatment and thus, requires a consultation in person to evaluate you facial muscle strength. On average, frown lines (“glabella”) requires anywhere from 15 to 25 units.

Botox For Laugh Lines

Filler is for volume loss, and is commonly injected into the cheeks, lips, and smile lines to replace volume loss that occurs with aging around 30 years of age. Smile lines can be injected with fillers to plump up the line in order to give a more youthful appearance.

How much do fillers cost?

Answer: Fillers last about one year depending on the type selected. Usually, one syringe (1 mL=1/5 tsp) is used, then more can be added if needed in a few weeks after the area has settled.

Is this a permanent solution?

Answer: No, not at this time for injectables. A facelift is a more invasive treatment that lasts longer, but is still not “permanent.”

What Are The Side Effects Of BOTOX® Cosmetic?

Side effects of BOTOX Cosmetic are usually mild and temporary, and normal activities may be resumed immediately after receiving injections. Injection-site side effects may include:

Pain

Infection

Inflammation

Tenderness

Swelling

Redness

Bleeding

Bruising

Outstanding Reviews

“Wonderful experience. Dr. Goldman is clearly very experienced and a wealth of knowledge. He spent a lot of time going over my concerns, more than most doctors offer. I felt at ease knowing he has been in the “business” for a long time and is very knowledgeable. Plus— he didn’t push any products on me. You can tell he runs the practice with integrity. 100% recommend.” - Kali-Ray S.

She answered all of my questions and presented a thoughtful, effective plan to address my skin concerns. I would highly recommend her!” - Alison T.

“Dr. Goldman's office is top notch. Beginning with the ease of scheduling, to being seen at the time the appointment was scheduled, to a very friendly and efficient front staff to skilled nursing help, the visit with Dr. Goldman was first rate. He is a skilled, physician who listens well to his patients and really knows his medicine. Can't recommend this practice highly enough. Richard Beck” - Richard B.
