Do you have deep wrinkles between your eyebrows or on your forehead? Or perhaps you may have crow’s feet around the eyes, down-turned corners of the mouth, or thickened neck muscle bands?� Fortunately, there is an easy way to correct these imperfections without surgery. Treatment with BOTOX® Cosmetic at TATTOO MD Laser Clinic can visibly smooth wrinkles between the brows, around the eyes, on the forehead, jaw line, and the chin. BOTOX® injections are safe and have been FDA-approved for over 30 years. BOTOX® is administered using several tiny injections directly into the muscles that cause wrinkles. It relaxes the muscles under the skin and causes the underlying skin to become smoother. No anesthesia is required and discomfort is minimal. After treatment with BOTOX®, an improvement can be seen within days and may last up to 4 months. Some wrinkles, especially in younger patients, may go away completely while others will be further improved with dermal filler injections, such as Juvederm or Radiesse.� At TATTOO MD Medi-Spa, your clinician customizes your treatment during your FREE Consultation

At Tattoo MD Medi-Spa, you can now receive BOTOX® for excessive sweating. Some individuals are inconvenienced by sweating that is so severe that anti-perspirants are not effective. This leads to drenched clothing at mild temperatures, causing embarrassment.� This may involve the hands, feet, underarms, or other parts of the body.� � Now at Tattoo MD, BOTOX® is available to put this problem to rest. You can get months of improved or absent sweating through the injection of BOTOX® directly into the skin in that area. BOTOX® takes effect after approximately 3 days, and is usually maximal after one week. It is approximately 90% effective and generally lasts about 7 months, with a range of 3 to 17 months.� In a clinical study, average sweat production at 24 weeks was still below 50% of the preinjection level.� Special pricing of $7.50/unit when purchasing a vial (100 units) for sweating treatment applies.

Numerous scientific studies have shown that BOTOX® benefits headache sufferers. This was discovered coincidentally among patients receiving BOTOX® for cosmetic purposes. In addition to reducing forehead wrinkles, BOTOX® was also preventing headaches! There are now standard treatment protocols depending on the type of headache - migraine or tension. Injection sites differ depending on the type of headache and the location of pain.� Not every patient will benefit from this treatment; however, for some patients who are dissatisfied with other treatments or medications, due to side effects, difficulty of compliance or for other reasons, BOTOX® may be a great alternative. Call Tattoo MD Medi-Spa now to set up a no-obligation consultation! Special pricing of $7.50/unit when purchasing a vial (100 units) for headache treatment applies.� Although BOTOX® treatment is safe and effective for migraine and tension headaches, it is not a substitute for medical evaluation of your headaches by your personal doctor. We advise that you consult with your physician to rule out any more serious causes of your headaches.

1. How long does BOTOX® last?

The effects of BOTOX last an average of 3 months. That means that it will last less than 3 months for some and more than 3 months for others.

2. How do I know if I’m getting “full-strength” BOTOX?

BOTOX comes as a dry powder containing 100 units of the substance, and it cannot be injected without first being dissolved in saline. It can be reconstituted in a large or a small amount of saline but that does not matter as long as you are getting the specific number of units that you have been told.

3. I heard that BOTOX® is a poison. Is it safe to use in humans?

As with most of the medications used today in medicine, BOTOX is entirely safe in the doses used to treat wrinkles (less than 100). No deaths or systemic problems have ever occurred from authentic BOTOX Cosmetic.

4. How does BOTOX® make my wrinkles go away?

BOTOX works on the muscles in your face that cause wrinkles. Most often, it is used for wrinkles caused by frowning, squinting, and raising one’s eyebrows. When these movements are suppressed with BOTOX, the wrinkles may fade greatly. The extent of this process depends greatly on how deeply set the wrinkles are and the youthfulness of one’s skin.

5. How much BOTOX should I expect to need in one visit for wrinkle treatment?

This varies greatly from patient to patient. Most commonly, you would use 15-50 units per visit, but this depends on the areas treated and the strength of the muscles in those areas. If you have had BOTOX before, it is helpful to let us know how many units were used for you previously.

6. Is there any downtime after BOTOX?

After 20 minutes, there is no swelling at the injection site. Occasionally (<10%) there can be a small bruise, but this goes away as bruises normally do and can be covered with make-up. BOTOX effects become noticeable at about 3 days and are maximal by about a week.
