Botox Cosmetic is a form of botulinum toxin that Bahr Dermatology uses to cosmetically treat wrinkles on the face, including smile lines (aka Crow’s feet), frown lines, and forehead lines to keep your face looking younger, healthy, and radiant. Botox works by blocking the signals from your nerves to tiny muscles in your face that give you wrinkles, softening the wrinkles and helping them fade.
Botox is a treatment that’s been studied and approved for use to treat many conditions including wrinkles, headaches, excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), and more. It has been proven to be effective and safe in many medical journals and clinical trials for reducing wrinkles on the face. We treat patients from Salt Lake and all along The Wasatch Front in our clinic in Bountiful, Utah.
Dr. Bahr will personally evaluate your face to help determine where you will get the best results and meet your goals for your treatment. Botox injections are done without any anesthesia or numbing because it hurts just a tiny bit. You will notice a slight sting, but because Dr. Bahr uses the tiniest needles to do the injections, you will be comfortable.
To get the best results, you should not ice the area, or lay down for several hours. And you should exercise your muscles by making facial expressions frequently for several days to help the Botox work into your muscles and get better results. Side effects can include a small amount of bruising in the area that is temporary, and a few very rare minor temporary side effects including drooping eyelids and headaches. Most patients who get Botox injections in Bountiful from Dr. Bahr at Bahr Dermatology have no side effects at all, and return to work and normal activity on the same day.
Typically you will see results starting in a few days, and you will notice the maximum effect after seven to ten days. Your wrinkles will be softened and may even be erased. These effects usually last for three to five months, and then you may need to get the treatment repeated. With more treatments the results have been shown to last longer as the muscles get trained to be relaxed. Individual results vary.
If you want to reduce the appearance of wrinkles on your face, including forehead lines, frown lines, smile lines (aka Crow’s feet), and other wrinkles, Botox Cosmetic is a minimally invasive treatment that offers fast, predictable results.
