REFRESH MD has BOTOX treatments to help you soften and relax dynamic facial lines accumulated over time. BOTOX can relax your features to create a much more approachable and confident look to your face. BOTOX injections are close to the ideal cosmetic procedure: dramatic benefits, few or no side effects, and reversible if the patient does not care for the result. Typically, however, results are such that most patients request repeat Botox treatments 2-3 times a year.

BOTOX (Botulinum A) is often used in combination with other facial procedures. It has been used safely by physicians for 20 years to treat patients with certain medical conditions such as eye spasms, central nervous system disorders and excessive muscle contractions.

How Does BOTOX® Work?
BOTOX® is injected in minute quantities into the contracted muscles that cause wrinkles. The results are impressive. The muscles relax, wrinkles improve, and within five to seven days, lines of facial expression are reduced. The effect does wear off within three to six months and then BOTOX® needs to be injected again. Most patients, however, do request additional sessions. Studies appear to show that with continued treatments, there is a greater length of time between injection procedures. You can speak to your REFRESH MD doctor to determine treatment and retreatment options which best suit your needs.

Safe Facial Skin Enhancement
There are really no restrictions to the treatment, as just about anyone can have the procedure performed. Because the toxin is injected in such small amounts, the safety profile for BOTOX is high and side effects are minimal. There may be a slight sting at the injection site in about half of the people undergoing the procedure. There may also be a mild bruise at the injection site but this is uncommon. Bruising appears to be more common in those people taking aspirin or blood thinners. There might be a concern about a droopy eyebrow or droopy eyelid. Droopy eyelids occur in about one out of 100 people, typically lasting an average of four weeks before disappearing. Before undergoing this or any other procedure, your REFRESH MD doctor will inform you of any potential after-effects.
