About Pittsburgh Botox
Dr James Fernau, Aesthetic Plastic Surgery & Medical Spa in Pittsburgh, PA routinely utilizes Botox – an FDA-approved dermal filler of purified protein produced by the clostridium botulinum bacterium – as a short-term correction (3-6 months) for lines across the forehead, frown lines between the eyebrows, and crow’s feet around the eyes.
Botox is a non-surgical prescription that works by blocking nerve impulses to the injected muscles and reducing the muscle activity that may cause moderate to severe facial lines. The injections can also add fullness to the lips and cheeks. Botox injections provide noticeable results, without surgery or recovery time.
Botox, much like other cosmetic injectables, provides the facial skin with a smooth, refreshed appearance. Botox is the single most-popular non-surgical cosmetic procedure performed today.
Who May Benefit from Botox
Those that benefit best from Botox treatments are men and women who are between the ages of 30 and 65 years old and wish to reduce age lines between the eyebrows, around the edges of the eyes (crow’s feet), frown lines and nasolabial folds. Botox is a suitable choice for those not interested in more-invasive cosmetic surgery procedures such as facelifts or implants.
Recovery Periods for Botox
Recovery times for Botox treatments are immediate. There may be some short-term side-effects that include swelling, soreness, itching and tenderness at the injection sites. All of these effects will typically resolve within a few days. Patients will see immediate results that last up to three to six months and are able to return to normal daily activities without delay.
