What Is BOTOX® Cosmetic?
BOTOX Cosmetic is an FDA-approved injectable treatment that temporarily reduces the appearance of dynamic wrinkles caused by repeated facial expressions such as frowning, squinting, or smiling. The active ingredient, botulinum toxin type A, works by relaxing the underlying muscles responsible for these lines. After BOTOX, the skin appears smoother and more youthful.
When administered by an experienced facial plastic surgeon like Dr. Patt, BOTOX helps you look naturally refreshed, never frozen.
Who’s a Good Candidate?
You may be a good candidate for BOTOX if you:
- Are bothered by facial lines, wrinkles, and creases
- Want to prevent the formation or worsening of dynamic wrinkles
- Want subtle, natural-looking facial rejuvenation without surgery
- Are in good overall health with realistic expectations about the treatment
- Prefer quick rejuvenation with minimal downtime
A personalized consultation with Dr. Patt is the best way to assess your candidacy for BOTOX and other facial rejuvenation treatments.
What Does BOTOX Treat?
BOTOX is one of the most versatile “nonsurgical facelift” treatments available. It effectively addresses concerns such as:
- Frown lines (glabellar lines) between the eyebrows
- Crow’s feet at the corners of the eyes
- Horizontal forehead lines and brow ptosis
- Bunny lines along the nose
- Smoker’s lines around the lips
Beyond smoothing wrinkles, therapeutic BOTOX injections have been proven to help alleviate pain associated with neck spasms and migraines. It’s also effective in reducing excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), so you feel more comfortable and confident at work and in social settings.
What Is Preventative BOTOX?
Preventative BOTOX is a proactive approach to wrinkle management that targets the muscles responsible for future lines. Reducing repeated movement in high-motion areas helps preserve smooth skin texture and delay deeper creases over time.
What To Expect During Treatment
Your BOTOX treatment begins with a detailed consultation with Dr. Patt. He evaluates your facial anatomy, discusses your goals, and develops a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs. The injections themselves take just a few minutes; Dr. Patt precisely targets specific muscles to achieve natural-looking results that preserve facial movement and expressions.
What Is BOTOX Recovery Like?
Patients love that BOTOX requires little to no recovery time. You can resume your daily routine—and even wear makeup—right away. You may notice mild redness or swelling at the injection sites, which typically resolves within an hour. The rejuvenating benefits typically appear within 5 to 10 days and generally last about 3 to 4 months. After this period, touch-up treatments can help maintain your refreshed look.
Can BOTOX Be Combined With Other Treatments?
Many patients benefit by combining BOTOX with other skin treatments for comprehensive rejuvenation:
- Dermal fillers: Restore lost volume and facial definition
- CO2 laser: Removes damaged skin layers to enhance skin tone and texture
- Ultherapy: Lifts and tightens loose, sagging skin
As part of his holistic approach to treating the entire aging face, Dr. Patt often recommends BOTOX to enhance and extend the results of surgical treatments such as facelift and brow lift, and blepharoplasty.
