1. What can be done for "frown lines" and "crow"s feet"?
The easiest and reliable is using botox to relax the muscles that cause these lines. All wrinkles are caused by muscle movement. So stopping or reducing these muscle action will reduce and even prevent the lines from forming.00
2. Who should not use BOTOX® Cosmetic?
Anyone that has a neuromuscular disorder or has an allergy to botox.00
3. Will my facial expressions continue to look natural?
If administered correctly, your expressions should look natural except for the ability to really frown. You should still be able to raise your eyebrows and not look frozen.00
4. Are Botox® Cosmetic and Dysport® interchangeable?
Although they are both Botulism type A, they are constituted differently so they are not interchangeable.00
5. Why do Botox® and Dysport® carry a "boxed" warning?
All pharmaceuticals carry warnings and have potential side effects.00
6. Does insurance ever cover the cost of Botox injections?
Yes, for various uses for Botox, such as cervical dystonia, blepharospasm but not for cosmetic uses.00
7. What type of anesthesia will be used for my Botox treatment?
Usually none, but some sensitive patients may prefer to use a topical anesthetic. Most patients tolerate the injections without any since the needle is a 30 gauge.00
