Botox Cosmetic treatment is a simple, non-surgical procedure that smooths the deep, persistent lines between your forehead (horizontal lines), glabella (frown lines), and the outer corner of the eyes (crows feet).

Any client interested in Botox Cosmetic will consult with Dr. Dixon first. After all questions have been answered, Dr. Dixon personally injects the Botox Cosmetic.

What to expect:

The day of your appointment.
Allow time before your appointment for filling out forms and for consulting with Dr. Dixon who will answer your questions.

You may also be asked about your expectations for treatment and if you have any allergies or any condition that wouldn't make you a good candidate for BOTOX^® Cosmetic.

Before the procedure. You'll probably be seated in a reclining chair, much like you find in a dentist's office. No anesthesia is required, although Dr. Dixon may choose to numb the area with a cold pack or anesthetic cream.

The procedure. Dr. Dixon will determine where to administer the injections by examining your ability to move certain muscles in your brow area. The entire BOTOX^® Cosmetic injection procedure takes approximately 10 minutes.

After the procedure. There's no recovery time needed. You're ready to get on with your day! The most common side effects following injection include temporary eyelid droop and nausea. Localized pain, infection, inflammation, tenderness, swelling, redness, and/or bleeding/bruising may be associated with the injection. Patients with certain neuromuscular disorders such as ALS, myasthenia gravis, or Lambert-Eaton syndrome may be at increased risk of serious side effects.

Seeing results. Within 7-10 days, you will notice an improvement in the moderate to severe frown lines between your brows that can last up to 4 months. Results may vary.
