Q: How is BOTOX ® administered?

A: The area will be injected with Botox using a tiny needle about the same size as acupuncture needles, so it's relatively painless. The BOTOX ® goes into the muscles responsible for causing lines, and blocks the release of a chemical that causes these muscles to contract. The muscles relax, and no more wrinkles!

Q: When do I see the results?

A: The effect of BOTOX ® begins to appear in 2-6 days, peaks in 1-4 weeks and gradually declines after 3-4 months.

Q: What are the side effects?

A: Droopy eyelids -- 3%
Nausea -- 3%
Muscle weakness -- 2%
Facial pain -- 2%
Indigestion or heartburn -- 1%
Tooth problems -- 1%
High blood pressure (hypertension) -- 1%

Q: Is it worth it?

A: Yes! You wear your face every day. It's the first thing people see. We spend a lot of money on shoes, purses, clothing, manicures and our hair, but investing in your face should be a top priority.

Be sure to consult your physician to review your medical history to determine if you are an appropriate candidate for treatment.
