A Brief Overview of BOTOX®
Dr. Stefan Kieserman
Introduction
Since it was approved to treat a variety of conditions in 1989,
BOTOX® has become the most frequently administered cosmetic
treatment in the United States. BOTOX® is most commonly used to
smooth wrinkles on the forehead, around the eyes, and around the
mouth.
BOTOX® works by putting a barrier between the nerves and
muscles, blocking the signals that cause contraction. This in turn
leads to a relaxation and softening of wrinkles.
It only take a few moments to complete a BOTOX® treatment, and it
requires no anesthesia. The effects last anywhere from four to six
months. With repeated treatments, wrinkles return with increasingly
less severity as the muscles learn to stay relaxed.
About Dr. Stefan Kieserman
Stefan Kieserman, MD, received his medical degree from the Albert
Einstein College of Medicine at Yeshiva University. He has been
practicing cosmetic surgery in New York City since 1996.
