Botox

Botox Cosmetic is an injectable agent used to temporarily diminish or eliminate lines and wrinkles on the face. It accomplishes this by relaxing the underlying facial muscles. This wonderful product has been on the market for over ten years and it is considered one of the safest procedures available for wrinkle reduction.

The most common areas to treat are the frown lines between the eyebrows, horizontal forehead lines, crow's feet and vertical lip lines around the mouth. Botox used in conjunction with dermal lip fillers can reduce or even eliminate lines around the lips.

Is Botox treatment painful?

You might experience mild discomfort during the injection. Dr. VanAntwerp uses a very fine needle and injects only a small amount of liquid. Patients tolerate the procedure quite well.

Are there any side effects?

Some patients experience temporary bruising at the injection site.
