Botox Cosmetic
|
| Dr. Arzadon and his certified staff offer Botox injections for patients in Washington, DC, Arlington, Alexandria and surrounding areas of Virginia. |
| Dynamic wrinkles are caused by contractions of the delicate underlying facial muscles every time you smile, laugh or frown. These lines caused by facial muscles can give a person an angry, tired or sad appearance - even when they are not experiencing that emotion. The more emotion you show, the deeper these wrinkles and lines are likely to be. BOTOX Cosmetic treatments in Arlington are performed by Board Certified Physicians to smooth existing wrinkles and prevent the formation of new wrinkles. |
How Does Botox Cosmetic Work?
|
| BOTOX Cosmetic is the latest advancement in botulinum toxin therapy. By relaxing the underlying muscles, BOTOX Cosmetic reduces wrinkles. BOTOX Cosmetic is a remarkable treatment for dynamic wrinkles. |
| BOTOX Cosmetic actually prevents wrinkles from appearing by relaxing the underlying muscles so they don't contract. BOTOX Cosmetic blocks impulses from the nerve to the tiny facial muscles that are related to expression lines. After treatment, the overlying skin remains smooth and unwrinkled while the untreated facial muscles contract in a normal fashion, allowing your normal facial expression to be unaffected. This leaves you with natural looking, smooth skin. |
What Can I Expect at my Botox Cosmetic Treatment?
|
| Treating wrinkles with BOTOX Cosmetic is a simple and safe procedure and the entire treatment takes about 10 minutes. |
| Our Board Certified Physicians perform BOTOX Cosmetic treatments using a tiny micro-needle. A very small amount of BOTOX Cosmetic is precisely injected into several locations on your face. Because the needle is so fine and only a small amount of liquid is used, the pain associated with the treatment is minimal. |
| No sedation or local anesthetic is required, and you can resume normal activities immediately. You can even drive yourself home or back to the office. You may experience some slight temporary bruising at the treatment site. This can be covered with make-up. |
