Is Botox for you?


Written by Virginia Surgical Arts on .

Are you considering Botox for those unsightly lines & wrinkles?  Botox Cosmetic may be for you.

Botox is an FDA approved prescription that is injected into the muscles by Dr. Vendetti that is used to improve the look of moderate – severe frown lines between the eyebrows, accross the forehead, around the eyes, as well as the upper lip. Once injected, it works by blocking nerve impulses to the injected muscles. This reduces muscle activity that causes moderate to severe lines to form between the brows. Often used as a corrective measure, more & more patients are utilizing Botox as a preventative measure to the natural aging process.

After the injections are administered, correction is seen in a matter of days, and results typically last anywhere from 3-6 months.  With real, noticeable results, no surgery and no recovery time, this is a very popular approach to address facial wrinkles.  Approximately 11.8 million procedures have been administered in the United States since 2002, and over 90% of Botox patients are satisfied with the results.
