Botox therapy has been used safely and successfully by ophthalmologists for over 15 years and for wrinkle therapy since 1993. Although it is a toxin, it is safe and there have been no serious side effects reported. The most commonly reported side effect is slight tenderness at the injection site. Botox takes just minutes to inject and its effects of a more youthful appearance usually last for 4-6 months or longer. Since there is no recovery period required following Botox injection, patients can resume their normal activities immediately. Botox is a great way to eliminate wrinkles quickly and is usually a mainstay in the quick makeover procedures that we perform.
