BOTOX® is a non-surgical procedure commonly used to reduce or eliminate the appearance of facial wrinkles by relaxing the muscles that cause the lines to form. Botox is injected under the skin most commonly into areas surrounding the eyes and forehead. Botox is commonly use to smooth crow's feet, frown or worry lines, and lines on the neck, but can be used to treat other areas of the body. Dr. Lacombe is a Platinum level Botox injector which signifies that he performs extremely high numbers of injections with hundreds of happily returning patients.
Will BOTOX® still allow me to express myself?
A common misconception that many people have about BOTOX® is that treatment will make the face look blank or frozen. While this has happened to some patients, it is usually due to a doctor’s inexperience. Dr. Lacombe’s extensive experience and recognized expertise as a Botox National Educational Faculty member helps his patients achieve outstanding results. Dr. Lacombe will work with each patient individually to create a personalized treatment program.
How soon can I be back to work?
BOTOX® is fast and requires no downtime or recovery. BOTOX® treatments can make you look younger without looking like you've had work done. As with all injections, there is always the possibility of getting a small bruise at or near the injection site. Not taking blood-thinning medications such as Aspirin, Advil, Aleve, etc. will help reduce your risk.
How long do the results last?
The results can be dramatic and will be visible within a few days, lasting on average three months to six months or more.
How many treatments are necessary?
Most lines will virtually disappear after a single treatment.
What is BOTOX®?
BOTOX® is made from a purified protein. Injections block nerve impulses, relaxing muscles that cause wrinkles thus giving the face a rejuvenated look. BOTOX® may also be used for migraine headaches, excessive sweating, and muscle spasms occurring in the eye or neck. |
