They will examine your facial features, discuss your concerns, and help you decide if it is the right treatment.\"\n    }\n  },{\n    \"@type\": \"Question\",\n    \"name\": \"How does BOTOX\u00ae Cosmetic work?\",\n    \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n      \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n      \"text\": \"BOTOX\u00ae Cosmetic injection is a non-surgical procedure that relaxes the muscles that cause wrinkles in your brow, forehead, and around the eyes. It works by blocking certain chemical signals from nerves that cause muscles to contract.<\/p>\n<p>Most patients find that the procedure is very tolerable. The needle is tiny and cold air and ice packs minimize the pinprick sensation during injection by numbing the injection site. Although it can depend on how many units and areas you\u2019re treating, the treatment generally only takes about 10 minutes. People who have injections for the first time are often relieved afterward because the procedure was easier than anticipated.\"\n    }\n  },{\n    \"@type\": \"Question\",\n    \"name\": \"What benefits can I expect?\",\n    \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n      \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n      \"text\": \"BOTOX\u00ae results depend on the area treated. Wrinkles on your forehead and around your eyes may become smoother, your brow may be lifted and your eyes may appear more open. Your overall facial expression will be one of greater relaxation and alertness.<\/p>\n<p>Wrinkle reduction varies among patients and improvement typically lasts 3 to 4 months. After this time, you may notice a gradual return of muscle activity in the treated areas, which can lead to the reemergence of wrinkles and lines. The rate at which your facial muscles move in the treated areas can also affect the duration of BOTOX\u00ae\u2019s effects.\"\n    }\n  },{\n    \"@type\": \"Question\",\n    \"name\": \"What are the risks and side effects?\",\n    \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n      \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n      \"text\": \"Our goal is always to make you look completely natural and not \u201cfrozen\u201d. The most common side effect is a small bruise. Another common side effect is the \u201cSpock effect\u201d which means one eyebrow goes up more than the other. This is easily corrected with an additional small amount of BOTOX\u00ae injected above the elevated brow.<\/p>\n<p>Much less common side effects include a drooping brow or eyelid, or double vision. These conditions are uncommon and occur only if BOTOX\u00ae migrates to nearby tissues. At Advanced Dermatology, we inject very carefully and dilute our BOTOX\u00ae minimally to avoid migration. If it occurs, it is temporary, although we will do whatever we can (prescription eye drops, additional procedures to attempt correction).<\/p>\n<p>BOTOX\u00ae may also cause a headache, which occurs because other muscles try to compensate for the muscles that have relaxed. A severe headache may persist up to 2 weeks after BOTOX\u00ae injections, but this is very rare.<\/p>\n<p>Treatments given too early (less than 3 months) may reduce the effectiveness of BOTOX\u00ae.<\/p>\n<p>BOTOX\u00ae has been used safely since 1998 to treat muscle diseases of the eyes and voice box, headaches, stomach spasm, and other neuromuscular diseases. BOTOX\u00ae is approved by the FDA for the cosmetic treatment of brow wrinkles, excessive sweating of the underarms, and certain muscular disorders of the neck, eyes, and eyelids.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to treatment all potential risks and side effects will be discussed with you by your medical provider and cosmetic coordinator.\"\n    }\n  },{\n    \"@type\": \"Question\",\n    \"name\": \"How will I look and feel during and after the treatment?\",\n    \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n      \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n      \"text\": \"The injected area may look like a mosquito bite for 20 to 60 minutes. Usually, there is no residual visual evidence after that. However, little red dots may appear but resolve in a few days. Bruising is uncommon but if it occurs, it may require 7 to 10 days to clear. In the meantime, the bruise can be camouflaged with makeup, which may be applied after treatment.<\/p>\n<p>You can help the BOTOX\u00ae be absorbed by the muscles by frowning, raising your eyebrows, smiling, and squinting. Do this several times for 1-2 hours after the injections. Try not to lay back or fall asleep for 4 hours after the injections because the injected BOTOX\u00ae is more likely to then spread to nearby areas and cause unwanted relaxation of other muscles. Feel free to resume your regular skin care after treatment. Also, you may exercise 24 hours after treatment.<\/p>\n<p>Try to avoid aspirin-containing products or high-dosage vitamin E supplements for 48 hours unless your doctor has recommended otherwise.<\/p>\n<p>To prevent bruising after treatment, do not take aspirin-containing products or high-dose vitamin E supplements (unless your doctor has recommended otherwise) for 10 days before the procedure. The vitamin E of a typical multivitamin may be taken during this time.\"\n    }\n  },{\n    \"@type\": \"Question\",\n    \"name\": \"Is there another way to get the same effect?\",\n    \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n      \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n      \"text\": \"Yes.
