Clinical Injections

Botox injections (botulinum toxin) are an extremely popular non-invasive facelift cosmetic procedure targeting and eliminating frown lines, forehead creases, crow’s feet, neckbands and other forms of wrinkles. The procedure is completed in a clinic, is quick and completed on an outpatient basis.

Botox treatment involves the injection of very small amounts of botulinum toxin into the underlying muscles to immobilize them. The toxin relaxes the muscles, preventing them from contracting and reducing the appearance of wrinkles.

Botox treatment is well tolerated and takes just a short time with minimal recovery. Botox injections for facelifts have very few side effects and those that can occur, such as redness, minor swelling and soreness are usually temporary and disappear within a few days. Botulinum toxin takes effect about 3 to 7 days after treatment.
