BOTOX® Treatment
Botulinum Toxin (BOTOX®) is a natural, purified protein that relaxes muscles. BOTOX® treatment is a quick and painless procedure designed to restore freshness, youth and beauty to faces that have been damaged by sun and aging over time. It will not "freeze" your facial expressions. It softens them and keep them relax for up to 6 months or so. It is seen that after four or five sessions of injection, the muscles are permanently relaxed. The treatment is usually done in about 10 minutes, and no recovery time is needed.
Since its clearance by the FDA in 2002, providing proof of its safety and effectiveness, BOTOX® injections have become the single most popular non-surgical, cosmetic procedure in the United States.
BOTOX® treatment dramatically decreases:
Frown lines
Forehead furrows
Crow's feet
Nasal muscles to decrease nostril flaring
Slimming of square jaw
Reducing neck lines
Treatment for excessive sweating of underarms and palms
Real BOTOX® from Allergan must be shipped properly, mixed properly, stored properly, utilized in a concise time frame, and administered by an experienced medical professional within the manufacture's parameters. Though other forms of commercial botulinum toxin preparations are available in the market today.
Parkway Aesthetic Clinic uses only the original BOTOX® from Allergan, USA.

BOTOX® Treatment FAQ
 What exactly is BOTOX®?
Botulinum Toxin is a purified protein produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacterium. It is a non-surgical, physician-administered treatment that can temporarily reduce moderate to severe frown lines between the brows. During treatment, very low doses of Botulinum Toxin are administered via a few tiny injections directly into the muscles that cause those stubborn lines. The treatment is usually done in about 10 minutes, and no recovery time is needed. Within days, you may see an improvement that can last up to 4 months. Results may vary.
How does BOTOX® treatment work?
Those moderate to severe frown lines between your brows form over time as the result of muscle activity. BOTOX® treatment is injected directly into the muscles between your brows. It works by blocking the transmission of nerve impulses to the injected muscles; this reduces the activity of the muscles that cause those persistent lines to form.
When will I see results from a BOTOX® treatment?
Within days, you may see a marked improvement in the moderate to severe frown lines between your brows. Lines continue to improve for up to a month, and results can last for up to 4 months. In clinical trials, nearly 90% of men and women rated the improvement in their appearance as moderate to better 1 month after treatment. Results may vary.
How long does BOTOX® treatment last?
Results from treatment with BOTOX® treatment can last for up to 4 months. If you discontinue treatment, the frown lines between your brows gradually will look like they did before treatment.
Who should administer BOTOX® treatment?
Any authorized healthcare professional can administer BOTOX® treatment, but dermatologists, plastic surgeons, ophthalmologists, otolaryngologists (ear, nose, and throat doctors), or other physicians specializing in cosmetic procedures are generally more experienced. One of these physicians can help you decide if BOTOX® treatment is right for you.
Is treatment with BOTOX® treatment painful?
Discomfort is usually minimal and brief. Prior to injecting, your physician may choose to numb the area with a cold pack or anesthetic cream. The entire procedure takes approximately 10 minutes. Many people return directly to work or normal activity following BOTOX® treatment.
Who should not use BOTOX® treatment?
BOTOX® treatment should not be used in the presence of infection at the proposed injection site(s) and in individuals with known hypersensitivity to any ingredient in the formulation. Patients with neurological disorders such as ALS, Myasthenia Gravis or Lambert-Eaton syndrome may be at increased risk of serious side effects.
Will I experience any side effects?
The most common side effects include headache, respiratory infection, flu syndrome, temporary eyelid droop, and nausea. Less frequently occurring (<3%) adverse reactions include pain in the face, erythema at the injection site, and muscle weakness. These events are thought to be associated with the injection and occurred within the first week.
Will my facial expressions continue to look natural?
Although the results are visible, a treatment with BOTOX® treatment will not radically change your facial appearance or make you look as if you "had work done." The muscle activity that causes frown lines between the brows is simply reduced, so you can still frown or look surprised without the wrinkles and creases between your brows.
What will happen to the frown lines between my brows if I choose not to continue treatments?
If you do not continue treatments, the moderate to severe frown lines between your brows will gradually look like they did before treatment.
Is BOTOX® treatment affordable?
When considering your facial aesthetic options, BOTOX® treatment is quite affordable. According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery's 2003 survey, BOTOX® treatment is one of the least expensive facial aesthetic procedures in the United States. Like other appearance-related investments, such as hair coloring and cuts, teeth whitening, and chemical peels, the cost must be weighed relative to your expectations. Consult your doctor for further information.
Do treatment results differ?
To get the best results, it's important to go to a doctor who is experienced in administering BOTOX® treatment.
