The Procedure
A treatment with BOTOX Cosmetic in Atlanta typically takes only 10 minutes. A topical anesthetic is applied to the skin to numb the area, then a very fine needle is used to inject a tiny amount of BOTOX into the muscles that contract to cause dynamic wrinkles (the kind of wrinkles caused by repeated facial muscle movement). The active ingredient in BOTOX temporarily relaxes the muscles, stopping them from contracting and causing the skin to lie smooth and wrinkle-free. You'll be able to see improvement after just a few days and your smoother skin may last up to 4 months. But, don't worry – when your results begin to fade, you can repeat the BOTOX treatment for continued improvement.
Surgical & Non-Surgical Alternatives
For some people in Atlanta, a BOTOX injection may not be the best option. BOTOX is a temporary treatment, so if you're looking for permanent results, a surgical procedure such as a face lift, brow lift or eyelid surgery may be a better way to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Non-surgical alternatives to BOTOX may include injectable fillers or laser skin resurfacing.
