Rocky Mountain Laser Aesthetics

BOTOX is the single most common medical cosmetic treatment performed each year. Environment, time and daily stress take their toll on healthy skin. BOTOX does not stop skin from aging, but it does return a rejuvenated appearance to the face. It is most commonly used to treat dynamic wrinkles: forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines. BOTOX “paralyzes” the injected area so that the muscles used to squint or frown are no longer able to contract. BOTOX has also been used to treat hyperhidrosis, or excessive underarm sweating. BOTOX temporarily blocks the nerves that activate the sweat glands.

The Procedure

For dynamic wrinkle treatment, BOTOX is injected into the muscles around frown lines in the forehead, lips, around the nose, or sides of the chin. The injected BOTOX paralyzes the muscles that form fine lines and wrinkles. For hyperhidrosis treatment, many small injections of a slightly diluted BOTOX solution are made into the area to be treated. Because the solution is slightly diluted, the treatment should spread throughout the area to be treated. This treatment will calm the nerves that overly activate the sweat glands in the underarms.

BOTOX treatments are a very short, ten-minute procedure conducted using a very fine needle to reduce any discomfort of injection. To begin, you may be asked to squint your eyes, frown, and raise your eyebrows. Injections are made in predefined areas. There may be a slight sting when BOTOX is injected, but there is very little lingering discomfort.
