BOTOX® Cosmetic
In Ottawa, Ontario, BOTOX® Cosmetic has become one of the most popular and effective non-surgical aesthetic treatments. It rejuvenates the face by relaxing and smoothing the facial muscles that can cause unattractive frown lines and furrows in the brow and forehead, as well as crow's feet in the corners of the eyes.
Some patients are concerned that BOTOX may create a mask-like, frozen facial appearance. However, Dr. Howard Silverman carefully designs his procedures so that his patients retain their natural expressions. The treatment typically lasts 4 to 6 months.
To learn more about BOTOX Cosmetic, please request a consultation or call Dr. Silverman's office at 613-792-4137. He looks forward to helping you achieve your cosmetic goals.
BOTOX Cosmetic Procedure
Dr. Silverman begins the in-office BOTOX treatment, which takes about 30 minutes, by injecting the targeted areas. Patients usually experience little or no bruising, with a very low risk of side effects or complications. After 4 to 6 days, the desired improvements from the BOTOX treatment occurs, lasting 12 to 14 weeks.
A BOTOX treatment can successfully correct concerns such as:
- Forehead wrinkles
- Crow's feet
- Lines between the eyebrows
- Wrinkles on the upper lip
In addition to reducing fine lines and wrinkles, Botox can provide a non-surgical brow lift. By raising your eyebrows, BOTOX can temporarily revitalize sagging or drooping eyes.
Occasionally, the addition of dermal fillers may improve the results of BOTOX injections in areas with very deep lines. During your initial consultation, Dr. Silverman will design the right treatment plan for your cosmetic goals.
