Botox® and other Neurotoxins (e.g. Dysport™, Xeomin®, PurTox®)

Whether you have frown lines that have developed between the eyebrows, or creases of the forehead, Botox® or other neurotoxins are designed to give you a smoother, fresher look with a simple 5-10 minute office treatment.  But erasing crow’s feet, reshaping/lifting the arch of the eyebrows, and creating a more open and generally youthful look are other benefits a Botox® treatment can provide!

 

The Consultation

You will have a private, in-depth consultation with Dr. Back where he will review with you everything you want and need to know.  After an examination, together you will discuss your goals and his recommendations.  All the details of the procedure will be reviewed and you will also have ample time for questions.  Typical “before & after” photos as examples are on hand as a part of this process.

 

The Procedure

We like to use iced compresses before (and after) your treatment to minimize any swelling or bruising, typically minimal regardless.  An extremely tiny needle is used to inject Botox® into key areas.  Botox® will initiate a relaxation of the very small muscles under the skin which research has proven to be the cause of all of the lines and folds.  When the “true” cause of these wrinkles begins to relax within days, your brighter, fresher look begins to emerge.

 

The Recovery

Most patients will resume normal activities with hours without restrictions.  Once results appear, 3-6 months is the typical duration of effectiveness.
