What is BOTOX?

BOTOX® is an FDA-approved medicine that reduces the appearance of fine lines and other facial imperfections.

BOTOX® effectively treats:

• Crow’s feet
• Brow wrinkles
• Forehead wrinkles
• Smile lines
• Frown lines

How does BOTOX work?

BOTOX® Cosmetic blocks the communication between nerve endings and muscles, inhibiting neuromuscular activity that leads to fine lines. By relaxing muscle contraction in your face, BOTOX® softens wrinkles and fine lines.

What are the associated risks?

BOTOX® side effects and risks are extremely minimal, and most often disappear quickly. Most of the risks are associated with the injection site.

After BOTOX®, you may experience:

• Redness
• Itching
• Bruising
• Headache
• Nausea

You can reduce the chances of BOTOX® side effects by receiving the treatment from a qualified and experienced professional like Dr. David Broadway.

How long do results last?

You may see improvement from BOTOX® immediately, and the full cosmetic effect should appear in a few days. BOTOX® is not permanent, and you will need another treatment after four to six months to maintain results. For long-term results, you may want to consider a procedure like a facelift.

What is the treatment process like?

Receiving BOTOX® is quick and painless. The entire procedure takes about 10 minutes or less, and no anesthesia is required. BOTOX® is injected into the treatment site with a syringe, and the process is complete. You do not need any time for recovery, but you may experience some swelling, tenderness and redness at the injection site. These temporary side effects should go away and you will see results within a few days. Results will continue to improve over the next 30 days.

How do I know if BOTOX® is right for me?

BOTOX® is not right for everyone, and Dr. Broadway may suggest an alternative skin care rejuvenation solution.

BOTOX® may not be the solution for you if you have:

• Allergic reactions to any of the ingredients
• Skin infection where BOTOX® will be injected
• Asthma or emphysema
• Disease affecting muscles and nerves (such as Lou Gehrig’s disease)

Where should I seek BOTOX treatment?

It is critically important to receive BOTOX® treatment from a medical professional. Results can be dangerous when you are treated by an inexperienced and poorly qualified individual. The skincare staff at the Broadway Center for Plastic Surgery is composed of R.N.s and licensed aestheticians that are qualified to administer BOTOX® injections.
