Almost 12 million BOTOX® Cosmetic procedures have been administered in the United States since it was FDA-approved in 2002.
Frequently Asked Questions
How Does Botox® Cosmetic Work?
BOTOX® Cosmetic works by blocking nerve impulses in the injected muscles, reducing the muscle activity that causes moderate to severe lines to form on the face.
What Can I Expect During A Botox® Cosmetic Procedure?
There is minimal discomfort during the injections. Our BOTOX® doctors at Staten Island Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery can numb the area with a cold pack or anesthetic cream prior to the injections if necessary. The procedure typically takes about 10 minutes.
What Can I Expect After Receiving A Botox® Cosmetic Treatment?
Some patients experience localized pain, tenderness, swelling, redness, and/or bleeding/bruising at the injection sites following the procedure. These side effects usually only last several hours and can be managed with ice packs and over-the-counter pain relief medications.
After the treatment, you’ll see noticeable results with no surgery or recovery time. The lines will continue to improve for up to 30 days, with results lasting up to 4 months. Most patients need 2-3 treatments per year to maintain the results.
