BOTOX® Cosmetic

BOTOX® Cosmetic is a nonsurgical treatment which can help reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles on the face and neck. For many people in Tampa, BOTOX is a popular alternative to facial cosmetic surgery procedures, and can also be used following a procedure to keep the skin looking youthful and vibrant. BOTOX is perhaps the best nonsurgical cosmetic treatment on the market today, and we offer convenient injections near you. This treatment only takes a few minutes to administer, and there is little to no recovery time, allowing patients to look refreshed in just a few days.

Dr. Joseph J. Castellano and his award-winning team of master injectors are dedicated to ensuring a positive experience so you can achieve your best, beautiful results. Request a consultation to meet with us and learn more.

Those who are happiest with their BOTOX Cosmetic treatment understand its limitations and have realistic expectations. This treatment works by relaxing the facial muscles which are responsible for deepening lines and wrinkles. Although this treatment can reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles caused by repeated muscle movements, you may also need an injectable filler such as JUVÉDERM® to fill in deep wrinkles caused by volume loss in the skin.

If you live a busy and active life here in Tampa, BOTOX Cosmetic may be the ideal solution. You won’t have to put your life on hold as you would for a more invasive surgical procedure, and you’ll save both time and money. There is virtually no recovery time, and the procedure itself takes just a few minutes from start to finish.

After the incision site has been prepped and cleaned, BOTOX Cosmetic will be directly injected into the area requiring treatment. Prior to the injection, the patient’s face will be examined to determine the best placement for the injections. For those who are sensitive, a topical anesthetic may be applied.

The injection will temporarily freeze the muscles around the injection site in a relaxed state. Once the muscles have relaxed, the surface skin will naturally smooth out. BOTOX Cosmetic may be used to treat wrinkles in many areas of the face and neck, including between the brows and around the mouth.

There is no recovery time required, and you can return to your normal life right away. Final results will be apparent within a few days, and should last several months.

Since the effects of this injectable are temporary, you will see a very gradual return to your pre-treatment state over time. Many patients simply arrange for regular, ongoing treatment sessions to take place every few months in order to retain their new look. Because of its temporary nature, BOTOX Cosmetic is most effective when used to stop very early signs of aging, and used over a longer period of time.

Since BOTOX Cosmetic is not a filler, it can’t be used to fill in very deep wrinkles, lines or scars. Treatment of these cosmetic concerns will require a dermal filler. Laser resurfacing may also be used to render deep marks less apparent. BOTOX Cosmetic can be used to augment nearly any other surgical or nonsurgical facial procedure.
