Botox - Orange County

What is Botox?

As we age our skin loses its elasticity. Repetitive, everyday movements such as squinting, worrying or even laughing help to create those unwanted frown lines and crow's feet that doctors refer to as "dynamic" wrinkles. 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 success after the treatment of upper lips, marionette lines and chin rippling. BOTOX ® injections are also highly successful for the treatment of excess sweating of the armpits, palms, and soles.

How does Botox work?

BOTOX ® is a purified form of the botulinum toxin. It is injected in small 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 a decade 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.

Results: How long does Botox last?

BOTOX ® correction lasts an average of four months. After repeated injections the results may be even longer lasting. botoxcosmetic.com

BOTOX® Treatment for Hyperhidrosis

One highly effective, FDA-approved treatment for severe underarm sweating, not adequately managed by topical agents, is BOTOX® (Botulinum Toxin Type A). BOTOX® injections help control severe underarm sweating by temporarily blocking the chemical signals from the nerves that stimulate the sweat glands. When the sweat glands don't receive chemical signals, the severe sweating stops. For more information about BOTOX® as a treatment for severe underarm sweating, go to BOTOXSevereSweating.com.

Treatment with BOTOX® is a relatively quick and straightforward procedure and results in a significant reduction in underarm sweating within four weeks of the first treatment. Results have been shown to be effective for up to six months.

If you feel that excessive underarm sweating is affecting any of your daily activities, from wardrobe choices to recreational activities, visit a dermatologist for an accurate diagnosis and to discuss appropriate treatment options.

BOTOX® (Botulinum Toxin Type A) is FDA-approved for severe underarm sweating when topical agents don't work.
