What is BOTOX® Cosmetic?
Many wrinkles originate from creases in the skin that are caused by making the same expression over and over. These "frown lines," "crow's feet," and "smile lines" result from the contraction of muscles under the skin. BOTOX® Cosmetic improves these wrinkles by blocking the electrical impulse from reaching the area. As a result, the muscle becomes less active, the skin over the muscle relaxes, and the wrinkle gradually softens and frequently disappears.
BOTOX® Cosmetic injections are used to improve wrinkles between the eyebrows, on the forehead and around the eyes. On occasion, other areas may also be treated with BOTOX® Cosmetic.

Am I a good candidate for BOTOX® Cosmetic?
BOTOX® Cosmetic has been used safely for wrinkle therapy for over 8 years. The small amounts used for cosmetic purposes result in few side effects. Therefore, there are few restrictions regarding BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments. Women who are pregnant and persons who have a neurological disease, however, should not be treated. BOTOX® Cosmetic does not directly affect sensory facial nerves so there should be no numbness in the injected area. "Untreated" muscles are unaffected so facial expressions are not dramatically altered.
How is BOTOX® Cosmetic administered?
During the BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment at our office in Little Rock, a small amount of BOTOX® Cosmetic is injected into the facial muscle with a tiny needle. During the injection, there is a minor stinging sensation that lasts a few seconds. The relaxing effects on the muscle become more pronounced over the next few days and usually last three to six months. When injections are repeated, the effect may last longer than three to six months.
I want to learn more about BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments. What should I do?
If you would like more information about these treatments, please call Diane at our Little Rock office. She has been Dr. English’s injectionist for several years and she is also his sister. Diane will be happy to answer all questions and concerns you have about BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment. Ask Diane to see BOTOX® before and after photos. For those who have an aversion to "shots", our office uses topical anesthetics that will numb your skin during the BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments. |
