At Eyelid Center of Utah, we offer BOTOX® injections as a safe and effective treatment for various cosmetic and medical concerns. BOTOX® is a neurotoxin derived from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, which is used to temporarily reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles and fine lines by blocking nerve signals to the muscles, causing them to relax. Dr. Kian Eftekhari, our experienced oculofacial plastic surgeon, specializes in administering BOTOX® injections to help patients achieve smoother, more youthful-looking skin.
Procedure
During a BOTOX® treatment session, Dr. Eftekhari will carefully inject small amounts of the neurotoxin into targeted facial muscles using a fine needle. The procedure is relatively quick and minimally invasive, typically lasting around 15-30 minutes, with no downtime required afterward. Patients may experience mild discomfort during the injections, but this can be alleviated with the application of a topical anesthetic cream or ice pack.
Ideal Candidates
Ideal candidates for BOTOX® treatment are individuals who wish to reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles and fine lines, such as crow’s feet, forehead lines, and frown lines between the eyebrows. BOTOX® injections are suitable for both men and women looking for a non-surgical solution to rejuvenate their appearance and achieve smoother, more youthful-looking skin.
Recovery and Results
After receiving BOTOX® injections, patients can resume their daily activities immediately, as there is no downtime associated with the procedure. Some mild swelling, bruising, or redness at the injection sites may occur, but these side effects typically subside within a few days. Results from BOTOX® treatment can be seen within 3-7 days and typically last 3-4 months, after which repeat treatments may be necessary to maintain the desired outcome.
