Botox Benefits from the Concierge Medicine Blog

Botox is not just for celebrities anymore! Women and men commonly use Botox for cosmetic improvement, to temporarily smooth frown lines and for off-label uses like reducing crow’s feet around the eyes and smoker’s lines around the lips.

Botox works by training the muscles of the face to relax so they don’t cause wrinkles to deepen. A treatment to reduce wrinkles on your face takes very little time, and is relatively painless.

Numbing medication is used prior to treatment, and a very small needle is used for the injections so pain is minimal. Improvement can be seen quickly – it usually takes anywhere from four to 14 days to notice results. Effects of Botox can last as long as three to four months, and the cost is only about $250 to $360 per region.
