BOTOX

Serving Naples, Fort Myers, Bonita Springs, & Estero, Florida Facial Rejuvenation

BOTOX® Cosmetic is a popular facial rejuvenation for our Naples patients who want a temporary, noninvasive solution to fine lines, wrinkles and creases. In just a short lunchtime treatment, signs of aging can be reduced or eliminated with no downtime and no need for anesthesia.

 

BOTOX is a specially formulated injectable solution that acts upon the underlying facial muscles. Comprised of diluted botulinum toxin, a neuromuscular toxin that is safe for cosmetic use, BOTOX paralyzes the specific targeted facial muscles, effectively preventing the area from creasing.

 

If you are self-conscious about the appearance of crow’s feet, forehead creases, or frown lines, BOTOX may be the perfect cosmetic solution for you. This type of treatment does not involve surgery, so it works well for men and women who are not ready to commit to a more permanent and invasive plastic surgery option, or in conjunction with a more aggressive rejuvenation plan.

 

Side effects are minimal, and Naples plastic surgeon, Dr. Peña will discuss all of the risks and benefits with you during your initial BOTOX consultation. BOTOX is not recommended for women who are pregnant or for patients with neurological disorders.

 

Procedure

 

• Dr. Peña will go over the advantages and side effects of treatment. Together you’ll decide on which areas of the face should be treated.
• A topical anesthetic cream is applied to “freeze” the areas to be treated.
• Dr. Peña will inject tiny amounts of the BOTOX solution into your problem areas. The treatment time should range from about five to ten minutes to an hour.
• Normal activities can be resumed right away, although you will be discouraged from resting in a horizontal position for several hours following injection. You will be asked to avoid rubbing the injection site as well. Rigorous activities may be restricted for about 24 hours.
• BOTOX takes two days to two weeks to have a full effect and usually lasts about three months.
