Botox and you

You could be perfectly matched for each other if:

• You are in good overall health
• Are between the ages of 18 and 65
• Have realistic aesthetic goals for your facial appearance
• Wish to smooth facial lines across your forehead, at the corners of your eyes, between your eyebrows, and between your nose and the corners of your mouth

Consisting of a very purified form of the botulism toxin, Botox Cosmetic is injected just under the skin in key areas of the face. Your Syosset-area dermatologist uses a super fine needle to place the medication, resulting in an almost immediate smoothing effect. You'll notice maximum results in a few days.

The injections feel something like an insect sting and produce some redness, tenderness, and swelling under the skin. These side effects go away quickly, and you can return to your normal routine right away.
How does Botox work? The American Academy of Ophthalmology says that the purified protein prevents the contraction of certain muscles in the face. These muscles are responsible for what dermatologists call dynamic wrinkling. With muscular movement reduced, skin appears smoother and younger.

Other uses for Botox
Other physicians use Botox for very important medical treatments such as:

• Reduction of migraine headaches in frequency and intensity
• Control of overactive urinary bladder
• Treatment of temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJ)
• Correction of strabismus (cross-eyed)

In short, Botox is an effective and versatile medication.
