BOTOX® Cosmetic | Beavercreek & Springboro
BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment is a revolutionary approach to reversing the affects of facial wrinkles. Crow’s feet, worry lines, and laugh lines can all be a thing of the past. These are referred to as dynamic wrinkle lines and all are treatable with this procedure. Cosmetic denervation is the process of injecting BOTOX® Cosmetic into the tiny facial muscles that create the wrinkles.
Before Surgery
To better understand your overall health, we will evaluate your medical history prior to surgery. In addition, a complete examination of your eyes is made in order to decide the most effective injection sites. All issues and concerns will be discussed.
The areas that will be treated are marked and digital photographs are taken in order to determine the amount of improvement after surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions About Botox:
Q: How does Botox work, and what can it treat?
Botox works by temporarily paralyzing the muscles responsible for facial wrinkles, resulting in a smoother appearance. It’s commonly used to treat forehead lines, crow’s feet around the eyes, and frown lines between the eyebrows.
Q: How long do the effects of Botox last, and how often will I need to get treatments?
The effects of Botox typically last between 3 to 6 months. Regular treatments are needed to maintain the results, as the muscle activity gradually returns.
Q: Are there any side effects or risks associated with Botox?
Common side effects include mild bruising, swelling, or headache. Rare but more serious risks include drooping eyelids or eyebrows if the Botox spreads to unintended areas. We’ll discuss potential side effects during your consultation.
Q:What should I expect during and after the Botox procedure?
The procedure involves a few quick injections with minimal discomfort. Afterward, you may experience slight redness or swelling at the injection sites, but these usually subside quickly. You can generally resume normal activities immediately.
Q: How can I prepare for my Botox treatment, and are there any post-treatment guidelines I should follow?
To prepare, avoid blood-thinning medications and alcohol before your treatment. After the procedure, avoid touching or massaging the treated areas for 24 hours and stay upright for a few hours to prevent the Botox from spreading.
The BOTOX® Cosmetic Procedure
BOTOX® Cosmetic injections are performed without anesthesia because they are virtually painless. Only a very small sting is felt when the injections are made. The effects are not permanent and may need to be repeated two to three times per year to retain the effects. Research has suggested, however, that long-term use of the injections leads to a longer duration of each treatment’s effect. Patients over the age of 65 may not experience such dramatic results. BOTOX® Cosmetic is only useful in treating expression lines and cannot be used to repair sagging skin caused by aging.

Post-operative Information
After the operation patients may experience slight bruising around the area that quickly fades. Normal activities can be performed immediately. Possible side effects are temporary weakness of nearby muscles or in rare cases an eyelid may droop. BOTOX® Cosmetic is completely reversible so any side effect is only a temporary condition. The doctor will explain all risks associated at the time of your consultation.
