Frequent questions about Botulinum A Cosmetic Injections
Avance Care physicians can help temporarily reduce the appearance of facial lines.
Facial lines develop from repetitive muscle movements like frowning, squinting and eyebrow raising. As our skin loses elasticity with age, these lines can become more pronounced.
One treatment to temporarily reduce the appearance of facial lines (frown lines) involves relaxing the facial muscles by injecting a purified form of Botulinum A toxin. The effects of the treatment are usually visible within a week or two and can last up to 6 months before follow-up treatment is needed.
Cosmetic treatment of frown lines using injections of Botox® or Xeomin® (two brands of Botulinum Toxin A) are FDA approved and have been proven effective, but as cosmetic treatments, are usually not covered by insurance.
Contact your Avance Care physician to learn more about the specific treatment he/she offers.
