Botox® is a cosmetic treatment used to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles to reduce the signs of aging. The injection works by blocking the nerve signals that cause the muscles under your skin to move, which prevents the folding of the skin and the formation of lines.
Bay Ridge Dermatology offers Botox® injections for the following areas:
- Frown lines between your brows
- Crows feet around your eyes
- Lines on your forehead
Botox® injections soften your lines and make you look refreshed and rejuvenated almost immediately.
What can I expect during treatment with Botox®?
The skin care experts at Bay Ridge Dermatology will evaluate you and take into consideration your expectations before proceeding with the injections. After agreeing on a common goal, small amounts of Botox® are injected into specific areas to achieve your desired look.
You may need a series of injections, but the entire procedure only takes a few minutes.
There is no downtime following Botox® injections and you can resume your usual activities. However, the team recommends you refrain from strenuous physical activity for at least four hours following treatment.
How long does Botox® last?
Botox® injections typically last about three months. To improve the length of treatment, the skin care experts at Bay Ridge Dermatology recommend you apply sunblock daily to protect your skin.
However, once the effects of Botox® wear off, you can return to Bay Ridge Dermatology for another set of injections. Continued Botox® treatments also help in the prevention of future lines and wrinkles.
