You are good candidate for Botox if you have areas of dynamic wrinkles that you would like to soften. Dynamic wrinkles are lines that are created by expressions. Botox works by relaxing muscles that cause the expressions. The most popular areas to be treated by Botox is the frown lines, smiles lines around the eyes, and forehead creases.
Common areas include crows feet, frown lines, and forehead lines. Botox treatments are not only for wrinkle relaxer treatments. We are able to use it for other issues such as chronic migraine treatment, TMJ, Cervical Dystonia, Trapezius Muscle, Hyperhidrosis, and for other areas of concern.
It will vary, but the average amount is 50 units.
During the consultation, you will be asked about the results you expect to achieve from Botox. This will help us to understand your expectations and determine whether they can be realistically achieved.
Our nurse practitioner or physician will examine the areas of concern to determine the appropriate placement and dosage of Botox. You should be prepared to discuss your medical history. This will include information about any medical conditions, drug allergies, medical treatments you have received, pregnancies, previous surgeries, and medications that you currently take. It is important for you to provide complete information.
