Botox® Cosmetic
Many women and men who are unhappy with the appearance of lines and wrinkles on the face find BOTOX® Cosmetic to be an excellent solution. This non-surgical, minimally invasive treatment is administered to relax targeted muscles underneath the skin that are responsible for wrinkling, effectively releasing tension and smoothing the surface of the skin. At our practice, Dr. Stafford Broumand utilizes BOTOX® Cosmetic to help you achieve a more youthful, revitalized facial appearance with natural-looking results.

During treatment, the BOTOX® Cosmetic solution is injected into targeted areas using a micro needle. Consisting of a ultra-fine, hollow instrument and diamond-tip needle, the Dermasculpt® Microcannula typically enables BOTOX® injections to be performed with minimal discomfort, often eliminating the need for any topical anesthesia while significantly diminishing the potential for bruising and/or downtime. The entire treatment process generally takes anywhere from 10-20 minutes, depending on the number of concerns being addressed. In fact, BOTOX® injections can be performed so quickly that many individuals choose to receive treatment on their lunch break.
Following the BOTOX® Cosmetic procedure, some minor bruising and/or swelling may occur. These symptoms subside relatively quickly and are often limited as a result of our doctor’s meticulous approach. The majority of individuals are able to resume work and/or normal daily routines immediately, though certain strenuous activities may need to be avoided initially. The rejuvenative effects of BOTOX® Cosmetic generally last approximately three to four months, and occasional touch-up treatments can be received to help maintain an optimal outcome.
