What is Botox?

Botox smooths wrinkles by relaxing muscles in your face linked with frown, smile, and laugh lines. Patients often say that others cannot tell they had anything done but comment that they look rested and refreshed.

What are the advantages of Botox? 

The benefits you can expect when choosing Botox include:

• Reduced fine lines
• Fewer wrinkles
• Younger-looking skin 
• Tighter, smoother, lifted skin

Botox also treats other bothersome conditions, including migraines and eye twitching. It was discovered by ophthalmologist Alan Scott and first used in 1978 for treating eyes that are misaligned. Because the majority of Botox is given in the areas around the eyes, ophthalmologists with their detailed knowledge of ocular and facial anatomy are especially well-qualified to administer Botox.

Additionally, Dr. Bart offers dermal fillers that diminish wrinkles and smooth contours.

Am I a candidate for Botox? 

Dr. Bart determines if you’re a candidate for Botox by evaluating your symptoms, medical history, facial examination, treatment preferences, and desired cosmetic results. She tailors your treatment plan to your specific desires.

What happens when I receive Botox?

Dr. Bart cleans the treatment areas. She has devices that take away discomfort. She gently injects Botox beneath your skin in specific areas to ensure natural-looking results you will feel confident about.

What should I expect after the procedure?

After receiving Botox, there may be mild swelling or redness that resolves quickly. 

Over the next few days and weeks, you can expect younger-looking, smoother, less-wrinkled, and revitalized skin. The results of Botox usually last for several months. Dr. Bart offers repeat Botox as needed to maintain long-lasting results.
