Atlanta Botox® Cosmetic Injections

BOTOX® Cosmetic is highly effective and commonly used to soften or eliminate the appearance of facial wrinkles. It is injected under the skin into areas surrounding the eyes and the forehead to smooth crow’s feet, frown and worry lines. Made from a purified protein called botulinum toxin, Botox® injections block nerve impulses, thus weakening the muscles that are responsible for the undesired wrinkles, giving the face a fresh, youthful look.

An experienced doctor will be able to administer the injections in the correct areas to relax the muscles that cause the wrinkles. Dr. Jones will carefully examine your facial features and muscular structure to determine the optimal locations for Botox® injections. Botox® Cosmetic injections will not radically change your appearance or make you look like you have been “worked on.” Because it is highly localized and administered intramuscularly, its effects are usually confined only to the injected region. Botox® Cosmetic does not remain in your body indefinitely.

No anesthesia is required, and the procedure takes only about ten minutes. Discomfort is minimal and brief. Indeed, many patients compare their Botox® experience to a bug bite. However, Dr. Jones administers Botox® such that he first tricks the pain receptor nerves so that the patient hardly feels the injections. Most patients return to work or normal activity immediately following the treatment. The results start taking effect after about 48 hours after the injection and last between 3-4 months. At that time, the Botox® injections can be repeated.
