BOTOX® Cosmetic is a simple, non-surgical, physician-administered treatment that can temporarily smooth wrinkles caused by overactive muscles. After one ten-minute treatment consisting of a few tiny injections, patients will see a noticeable improvement within days. The effects of BOTOX® can last up to four months.
Dr. Torgerson will pinpoint where to administer the injections by examining your ability to move certain muscles in your face. The location, size, and use of the muscles that create facial wrinkles varies widely between individuals. No anaesthesia is required for BOTOX®, although the doctor may choose to numb the area with a cold pack or anaesthetic cream prior to injecting. Any patient discomfort is usually minimal during and after this treatment and bruising and swelling are rare.
