Throughout history, people have looked for ways to achieve a younger, more vibrant look by improving their facial appearance. A new procedure using intramuscular injections, BOTOX® Cosmetic Purified Neurotoxin Complex, has been developed to treat the aging face. BOTOX® Cosmetic is considered a safe and effective way of treating aging skin. It is used to eliminate or reduce lines and wrinkles. BOTOX® Cosmetic works by physiologically weakening facial muscles beneath the skin that are related to expression lines. Please make an appointment in my Ft Lauderdale / Plantation office to learn all the benefits of BOTOX® Cosmetic.
BOTOX® Cosmetic Purified Neurotoxin Complex blocks the impulses from the nerve to the facial muscles, thereby relaxing them. This results in a smooth, unwrinkled look.
There is minimal pain or discomfort associated with this BOTOX® Cosmetic procedure, therefore eliminating the need for a sedative or local anesthetic. Patients can return to normal activities immediately after the procedure. BOTOX® Cosmetic takes three to five days to begin to take effect and lasts from three to four months.
BOTOX® Cosmetic Before and After Photos
When BOTOX® Cosmetic begins to wear off, the wrinkles begin to reappear; however, they may not be as deep as the original ones. It usually takes two or three injections of BOTOX® Cosmetic in my Fort Lauderdale / Plantation office each year to maintain the smooth, youthful appearance desired. Studies suggest that, after several rounds of BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment, you may require injections less often.
There are no serious side effects associated with the BOTOX® Cosmetic when administered by my personal experience as a Master Injector of BOTOX® and BOTOX® Cosmetic since 1989. Wrinkles caused by trauma, scarring or sun damage are not disposed to BOTOX® Cosmetic injections. BOTOX® Cosmetic works best on the wrinkles appearing in the upper one-third of the face. BOTOX® Cosmetic in our Broward County / Fort Lauderdale / Plantation office is not designed to take the place of the standard facelift or other facial surgical procedures. Each person is different and must be evaluated by the physician. Dr. Berens will obtain your medical history to determine if you are a good candidate for BOTOX® Cosmetic.
