BOTOX®
(manufactured by Allergan) is Botulinum Toxin Type A, a powerful
substance used to temporarily paralyze muscle function. Doctors have
traditionally used BOTOX®
Purified Neurotoxin Complex to relieve muscle spasms in the eye and
facial region. As a result, physicians found that patients using BOTOX®
for facial spasms also got the secondary benefit of smoother, younger
looking skin around the injected areas.
Many patients complain that people are
always asking them what’s wrong, or if they are tired, when everything
is just fine. People tend to develop facial expression patterns by the
age of six. Many people frown when concentrating heavily. Even smiling
will wrinkle the skin around the mouth and eyes. The ideal candidate
for BOTOX®
is a person with strong facial expressions. Dr. Faerber can complete
the injections in five to ten minutes with minimal discomfort. You’ll
see an improvement within two days, and results last from three to six
months. When the creases and lines return, you can simply stop in over
your lunch break for another quick injection!
