BOTOX® COSMETIC INJECTIONS

Kansas City - Physician Performed Service

WHY LET A NURSE OR TECHNICIAN PERFORM YOUR INJECTIONS? 

In our experience, our office has found that the injection of Botulinum toxin Type A, i.e., Botox®, works the best for cosmetic uses and provides the best long-term results and best over-all satisfaction among patients and has the longest research profile.

It important though for patients to understand that you must get enough product into the area to do the job.  Do not try to spread too little too far.  On average each needle stick will deliver about 5 to 7 units of botulinum toxin to an injection site.  The above prices are for an individual patient (no sharing or splitting).

Glabellar areas can take three to five injections, foreheads can take three to five injections, lateral eyes can take two or three injections on each side, and we also like injections under the lower lids to remove fine lines (one or two on each side).  Our office only treats the upper half of the face and we use fillers in the lower half of the face.  More can be concentrated in needed zones based on experience, so the amounts in various locations can vary based on need of individual patients.

For best results, 70 units can inject four areas including, the glabellar area, central forehead, and both lateral eye crow’s feet areas, and a small amount under each lower eyelid to reduce fine lines if desired.  This will provide the best cosmetic results and will also provide the best long-term result with the most cost efficiency.  Though many people look to spend $150 to $250, the insufficient amount of botulinum toxin injected, in enough treatment zones or muscle areas, makes for a poorer and more costly result in the long run for the patient. 

We accept VISA, MasterCard, & Cash for Botulinum Toxin Inj. (i.e., BotoxÒ).

BOTOX® - What to know:

Our injections are always physician performed!!

Things to know about the product.
The product is derived from bacteria.  The bacterium, Clostridium Botulinum produces the toxin that is used for cosmetic purposes as well as for some medical uses. It relaxes targeted muscles, thereby greatly eliminating or softening wrinkles on certain parts of the face. It has been used for many years for spasticity disorders, often in children, and in treating conditions where the muscles are in spasm. It has been used to reduce migraine headaches and used to reduce sweating disorders. 

It can be used for vertical lines between your eyebrows, forehead lines, and lines at the corners of your eyes (crow's feet), but some of these areas may be off-label uses.  It is generally used for what are referred to as lines of expression.  Expression lines can be such as frown lines, brow lines, crow's feet, and bunny lines that become evident with age and exaggerated by excessive facial muscle activity.  Again, in many offices some of the areas are off-label uses of the product. 

In our opinion, the effects usually lasts from 2 to 4 months.

The most common side effect of BOTOX®  can be a slight bruising from the needle stick. In rare instances, an adjacent muscle may be affected, causing eyelid weakness (ptosis) for several weeks. The injections are given with a tiny 30 gauge needle, so there is only minimal discomfort.

Please stop all anti-inflammatory medications, including aspirin, for 5-7 days prior to the injection to minimize bruising. We also prefer that you do not take Vit. E, Fish Oil, Garlic tablets, or St. John's Wort for 5-7 days prior to an injection..
