At Renewed Medical Health and Beauty in Tucson, AZ, we recognize the impact of the natural aging process and repeated facial expressions on the emergence of dynamic wrinkles - lines that appear as we use the muscles in our face, such as frowning or smiling. Common areas for dynamic wrinkles to develop are the forehead (worry lines), between the eyebrows (glabellar lines), and around the eyes (crow’s feet). BOTOX® Cosmetic is a non-surgical treatment intended to reduce or eliminate visible dynamic wrinkles.

The treatment involves injecting purified Botulinum toxin type A directly into the muscles that are overactive, leading to temporary paralysis, inhibiting the contraction that is causing the wrinkle. Finally, this leads to a smoother, youthful appearance. While BOTOX® is very effective in treating dynamic wrinkles, static wrinkles (wrinkles visible at rest when the face is not moving due to the loss of elastic tissue) will likely require different Treatments such as dermal fillers or surgical treatments. What Happens During Your BOTOX® Treatment BOTOX® is a simple, quick and minimally invasive procedure and usually takes 10 minutes or less. A very small needle is used to inject the solution directly into the selected muscles taking less than a minute for each injection site with little or no discomfort. Patients commonly report that there is a slight pinch which is followed by mild stinging. Because BOTOX® is non-surgical, there is no recovery time, and you can return to work or your daily routine immediately. 

Effects from BOTOX in Tucson injections generally become noticeable in two to five days, and peak effects take two to four weeks to develop. The duration of effects varies based on size and strength of the muscle treated, sensitivity to BOTOX® in the patient, and total muscle units injected. Typically, the effects of BOTOX® last from three to six months. You can expect muscle activity to gradually return, and follow-up treatments will be needed to maintain wrinkle reduction.
