Frown lines, forehead wrinkles, crow's feet and even lip lines can produce a frustrated, discouraged or angry look on our face. This can be distracting to others and annoying to ourselves.

    Now you can eliminate frown lines without surgery and without scars, by a simple in-office treatment with Botox. Botox relaxes the muscles which form facial lines by interrupting the nerve transmission which causes these lines. The results will last for several months.

CAN BOTOX BE USED FOR OTHER WRINKLES?
Yes, Botox can also be used for neck folds, and for excessive perspiration of hands and underarms.

IS BOTOX SAFE?
Yes, it has been used for many years, in the treatment of strabismus (lazy eye), and blepharopas (uncontrollable eye blinking).

HOW LONG IS THE TREATMENT?
The actual treatment takes only 5 to 15 minutes in the office of Dr. Kwolek.

HOW LONG DOES THE BOTOX LAST?
Botox takes effect in three to seven days. Gradually over three to six months the effect of Botox will fade. When the frown lines come back another treatment can be done to maintain your desired result.

IS THE TREATMENT PAINFUL?
For needle-shy patients, a topical anesthetic can minimize any discomfort. The injection is quick and does not cause severe pain.

WHAT WILL I LOOK LIKE DIRECTLY AFTER THE TREATMENT?
You might experience some slight bruising, which you can conceal with make-up. You may also see some swelling which will be gone within hours. After your treatment you can go directly back to your day's activities. You must stay upright for four hours and careful not to rub the treated area. Like any other cosmetic treatment it is optimal not to make your Botox appointment too close to an important occasion.

WHAT IS THE COST OF BOTOX?
At the time of your consultation, Dr. Kwolek will determine how much Botox will be needed to achieve your desired results, and give you an estimate on her fees for the procedure.
