Soften frown lines and crows feet and take years off your face!

Botox injections greatly improve the appearance of stress wrinkles. Botox blocks impulses from the nerve to the tiny facial muscles, which results in relaxed frown lines. After treatment, the overlying skin remains smooth and unwrinkled while the untreated facial muscles contract in a normal fashion, allowing normal facial expression to be unaffected. This highly effective program has been safely used for over ten years.

The effects of the injections last from three to six months. Typically, you will need to have injections about two to three times a year. The benefits are cumulative and tend to increase over time. So you should require fewer injections in the future.

Is Botox treatment painful?

You might experience mild discomfort during the injection. Dr. VanAntwerp uses a very fine needle and injects only a small amount of liquid. Patients tolerate the procedure quite well.

Are there any side effects?

Some patients experience temporary bruising at the injection site.
