2. BOTOX, or botulinum toxin A, uses a
unique protein composition to relax
facial muscles and give patients a more
youthful appearance. BOTOX effectively
relaxes lines on the forehead, crow's
feet, lips and around the mouth. This
injectable treatment is also used to
smooth frown lines, allowing for a more
positive expression.

3. A major cause of frown lines
and other wrinkles is repeated
muscle contractions from
frowning and squinting over
many years. BOTOX makes
these muscles relax so they
don’t contract, diminishing the
appearance of wrinkles.

4. As with any cosmetic procedure, you
should consult with a dermatologist or
cosmetic surgeon to determine if this
treatment is right for you. Your doctor
will be able to design a customized
treatment plan to help you achieve
your desired results. This sometimes
includes combining BOTOX with fillers
like Restylane and JUVEDERM.
How can I prepare for this procedure?

5. As a minimally invasive, non-surgical
procedure, BOTOX only takes about
15 minutes and requires no
downtime. Known as a “lunchtime”
procedure, this treatment can be
administered any time throughout
the day, and patients can
immediately return to work.

lines and wrinkles from three to
seven days after the procedure.
Many doctors suggest booking a
BOTOX procedure at least two
weeks before the day of a big event
to allow for best results.

last three months or more, and

needed to maintain its benefits.

appointments with your doctor to
ensure best results.

9. It is rare to experience side effects
with BOTOX. Minor swelling and
bruising may result, but in the
majority of cases this does not last
long and is easily covered with
makeup. Drooping eyelids may
occur in rare cases but can be
avoided by seeking the care of an
experienced dermatologist.

10. Talk with your doctor about whether
BOTOX is right for you. You shouldn’t
receive this treatment if you are allergic
to any of its ingredients, including eggs,
or if you have a skin infection near the
treatment area. If you have been
treated for muscle spasms or have
underlying medical conditions that
would make some of the side effects
more likely, notify your doctor. Pregnant
women should not receive BOTOX.

11. A BOTOX procedure usually costs $300
and up. This price not only includes the
treatment, but more importantly, the
skill and expertise of the professional
administering the procedure. While deep
discounts might seem attractive, it’s
essential to seek treatment from a
board-certified dermatologist or
cosmetic surgeon with years of
experience like Dr. Joel Schlessinger.
