Botox™

Smoothen the lines in the forehead and in the crow’s feet area

Botox™ (botulinum toxin) is a quick procedure that helps improve the most visible signs of aging on the face. This injectable treatment blocks the impulses of the nerves and relaxes them. Results are visible within a week of the injection and last for 4-6 months.

Best candidates

Botox™ injections are promising for patients who want to achieve a more youthful facial appearance. Patients with concerns regarding forehead lines, crow’s feet, frown lines, thick bands on the neck, or excessive sweating are also good candidates.

The procedure

Dr. Kitto will inject a very small amount of Botox™ directly into the muscles beneath your facial skin, effectively and temporarily reducing the activity of those muscles and removing the wrinkles from your skin.

Recovery process

You may resume your day immediately after the procedure, although the treated area may be slightly pink for a few hours after the injection.

Dr. Kitto was AMAZING! Best Plastic Surgeon appointment I’ve ever had. She was so thorough and gentle and she explained everything very in detail! And I even got a great outcome! I love my lips and they look amazing 😍

FAQ

Which wrinkles can Botox™ help?

Botox™ is most often used to treat crow’s feet (lines around the eyes), forehead lines, and frown lines.

How does Botox™ work?

Botox™ temporarily paralyzes muscle activity in the site of injection. Since the muscle can’t contract, facial wrinkles are relaxed.

Will I have side effects from Botox™?

You can occasionally experience swelling or bruising at the injection site or a mild headache that goes away after a few days.

What is the recovery time for Botox™?

Botox™ injection is a quick process. You can return to normal activity immediately after receiving injections.

What is the average cost of Botox™?

Botox™ is priced per unit. Average prices are $10–$15 per unit. The number of units you will need depends on how deep your wrinkles are and which wrinkles you would like to treat. Patients often receive up to 20 units in the forehead or frown lines. Crow’s feet require fewer units of Botox™.

Is Botox effective as a preventative treatment?

Yes. Many patients in their late 30s use Botox preventatively to slow the development of lines before they deepen. Dr. Kitto can advise on the ideal time to start based on your skin and facial muscle activity.
