Are you tired of your wrinkles yet?

Today, Botox ® Cosmetic in Maryland is one of the most sought after facial cosmetic surgery procedures. Botox ® Cosmetic is an injectable treatment that temporarily improves the appearance of moderate to severe expression lines on the face.

BOTOX® Baltimore Cosmetic Treatments

Botox® Cosmetic injections are becoming increasingly popular in the treatment of certain facial wrinkles. Botox® Cosmetic is the single most common medical cosmetic treatment performed each year. The environment, time and daily stress take their toll on your skin. We tell our Baltimore Botox patients that although Botox® Cosmetic does not stop your skin from aging, it does return a rejuvenated appearance to your face. It is most commonly used as a wrinkle treatment: forehead lines, crow's feet, and frown lines. Aside from being an effective medical spa treatment, Botox® Cosmetic has also been used to treat excessive underarm sweating. It temporarily blocks the nerves that activate the sweat glands.

How BOTOX® Cosmetic Works

Botox® Cosmetic is injected into the muscles around frown lines in the forehead, lips, around the nose, or sides of the chin. The Botox® Cosmetic paralyzes the muscles that form fine lines and wrinkles. Most treatments are a very short (about ten-minutes) using a very fine needle to reduce any discomfort of the injections. In the beginning of your treatment, you may be asked to squint your eyes, frown, and raise your eyebrows. After the Botox® Cosmetic is injected, you will notice in 3 - 7 days your wrinkles and frown lines will seem to disappear.

BOTOX® Cosmetic is different than Facial Fillers

Botox® Cosmetic acts very differently than facial fillers. Instead of filling the problem area with a substance like Restylane, Radiesse or Juvederm, Botox® Cosmetic temporarily relaxes the facial muscles in the area of a line or wrinkle, and by relaxing the skin's surface, it "removes" the wrinkle. At our Baltimore Botox office, we have noticed that the type of lines and wrinkles that respond best to this procedure are those that are caused specifically by muscles that are repeatedly contracted during facial expressions such as frowning or squinting. It's very effective in reducing the appearance of frown lines, forehead lines, "crows' feet, "bunny lines" around the nose, lip lines and wrinkles of the lower face, especially the the corners of the lips.

Botox® Cosmetic injections can uplift the tip of the nose, do a brow lift, improve teeth grinding, reduce migraine and chronic tension headaches, many other things. It is extremely effective for reducing excessive sweating of the forehead, armpits and hands. Botox® Cosmetic injections take effect in three to seven days, and the effects last between three and four months initially, repeated injections may lead to results lasting as long as 6 months. These treatments tend to be administered to men and women between the ages of 30 and 60.
