BOTOX in Atlanta, GA

The most popular cosmetic treatment available today, BOTOX® Cosmetic temporarily freezes certain facial muscles that cause the type of facial wrinkles known as "dynamic wrinkles." These facial wrinkles are caused by the repeated contraction of facial muscles beneath the skin, rather than sun damage or other causes. Atlanta BOTOX® Cosmetic patients choose this treatment to relax these underlying muscles, causing the surface wrinkles to smooth out. This simple and quick office procedure can be completed in less than 30 minutes right in our office, making it a perfect "lunchtime" treatment.

Our BOTOX® Cosmetic patients in Atlanta do not experience permanent wrinkle reduction results, but the improved appearance usually lasts about 4 months, at which time your skin returns to the original condition. BOTOX® Cosmetic may be injected unlimited times, and there is actually growing evidence that with more injections, the time in between treatments will be longer.

The usual treatment areas are the frown lines between the eyebrows and across the bridge of the nose, the transverse forehead lines, the crow's feet lines, and the muscle bands in the neck. There are no restrictions after a BOTOX® Cosmetic injection in Atlanta. There will be a little swelling and redness at the injection site that will last about one day. It usually takes two days for the BOTOX® Cosmetic to take effect for you to notice a difference.

BOTOX Cosmetic can be used to enhance or complement the effects of other Marietta plastic surgery procedures, including face lift, brow lift, and eyelid surgery.
