BOTOX® Treatments in Atlanta, Georgia Why Choose BOTOX® Treatments?

Botulinum toxin injections, often referred to by the product names Botox® or Myobloc®, are biological toxins (botulinum toxin) transformed into a therapeutic agent. Work with botox began in the late 1960s to treat neurological disorders. Today, botox is used for the treatment of frown lines, forehead furrows, "crow's feet," lines and wrinkles of the lower face, and even nasal muscles (to decrease nostril flaring). Botox injections have proven to be a very popular nonsurgical cosmetic surgery procedure. Aesthetic plastic surgeons have found that the type of lines and wrinkles that respond to botox injections are those caused by the muscles—specifically those muscles that contract during facial expressions such as frowning or squinting.

Technique:

Dr. Kavali will discuss with you which lines you’d like to see improved, then she will let you know if Botox (or some other treatment) is appropriate for you. Botox can be given on the same day as your initial consultation. The procedure takes only a few minutes and has no downtime.

Benefits:

No downtime. You can immediately resume normal activities.
Long experience has proven botox treatments to be safe. To date, no systemic complications associated with botox injections have been documented.
Treatment is reversible within several months.
May be beneficial for treatment of migraine headaches.

Other Considerations:

BOTOX® injections are a temporary solution for the treatment of wrinkles. The effects last from 3-4 months and require repeat treatments.
Possible side effects include local numbness, swelling, bruising, or a burning sensation during injection. Some patients have reported temporary headache and nausea. Most complications are of short duration and can be avoided with proper injection techniques.
A small percentage of patients are reported to experience no improvement at all.

What else do I need to know?
