BOTOX®

BOTOX® Cosmetic is a safe, simple, non‐surgical technique for smoothing wrinkles and fine lines caused by repetitive facial muscle movements in the forehead, and between and around the eyes. Because BOTOX® relaxes these muscles, wrinkles are reduced or eliminated. BOTOX® is popular because it is quick, affordable, long-lasting and requires no downtime.

A BOTOX® treatment is an investment in your appearance. The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery reports that nearly 3.3 million treatments were performed in 2005 - a 16% increase over 2004. Additionally, BOTOX® is the only Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved treatment for temporary relief of moderate to severe frown lines in the 18-to-65-year-old age group.

BOTOX® should be administered only by a board-certified plastic surgeon to avoid typical risks and complications that can occur in the hands of an inexperienced practitioner. Dr. Arthur Falk in Albany, New York, will consult with you to determine if BOTOX® can help you. He will learn more about your health history and your expectations for the outcome of your BOTOX® treatments. Dr. Falk will explain that the effects of BOTOX® may not be fully realized for several weeks, and that you can expect your skin to look smoother for up to 6 months. Finally, Dr. Falk will provide information on follow-up treatments to maintain the desired effects.

If you live or work in Albany, Schenectady, Troy or Saratoga Springs, New York, please contact us to schedule your BOTOX® consultation at the Center for Facial Plastic Surgery & Laser Skin Care.
