 Botox

Botox® Cosmetic is purified botulinum toxin and is used to soften facial lines and wrinkles. Botox® Cosmetic works well for forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines. Botox® Cosmetic is injected into the muscle in these areas and works by weakening the muscle, which in turn lessens the lines of facial expression. The results last 4-6 months. By combining Botox® Cosmetic with peels, daily alpha hydroxyacid, and tretinoin cream, a patient can look years younger without surgery.

BOTOX® Cosmetic according to Dr. Gary Rothfeld a board certified NYC dermatologist at NYC Dermatology  is a simple, non-surgical treatment that smoothes the deep, persistent lines between the brows that have developed over time. One five-minute treatment --- a few tiny injections --- relaxes the muscles that cause the lines to form and keeps them relaxed, up to four months. It is virtually a painless procedure, similar to plucking eyebrows. BOTOX® Cosmetic has been widely tested and is approved by the FDA.  Our results at NYC Cosmetic Dermatology Center are dramatic and apparent within days. For many, BOTOX® Cosmetic, virtually “erases” these lines.

Unlike surgery, BOTOX® Cosmetic is fast, simple and minimally invasive with no downtime or recovery. Most people return directly to work or normal activity following treatment. Within days, they report looking more natural and relaxed according to Dr. Rothfeld, board certified dermatologist at NYC Dermatology.

BOTOX® Cosmetic is not magic. It’s medicine, the result of years of careful research and testing. Allergan’s BOTOX® Cosmetic product is the only one of its type with more than 10 years of success in treating patients with a variety of conditions including hyperhydrosis (sweating palms and arm pits) and migraines. BOTOX® Cosmetic is a natural, purified protein produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacterium. Very low doses of BOTOX® Cosmetic are administered via a few tiny injections. BOTOX® Cosmetic works by blocking the transmission of nerve impulses to the injected muscles. The effects of BOTOX® Cosmetic are usually confined to the injected region; it does not travel throughout the body.

In addition to using Botox for wrinkles in the forehead, eye brows and crows feet,  Dr. Rothfeld  has many happy patients using Botox in less common areas such as:

•	Upper lip lines
•	Downturn corners of lips
•	Eyebrow lift
•	“Bunny” nose lines
•	Lower eyelid wrinkles
•	Chin dimples
•	Neck creases and wrinkles
•	Migraine headaches
•	Hyperhydrosis (sweating palms and arm pits)
•	Sweaty foreheads

Frequently Asked Questions

What is BOTOX® Cosmetic?
 
BOTOX® Cosmetic is the most popular non-surgical procedure in  Manhattan, New York including the rest of the country. Simply, Botox is a neuro-toxin derived from the same spore that causes botulism.

How does BOTOX® Cosmetic work?
 
Wrinkles are caused by the muscles creasing under the skin. When NYC Dermatologist Dr. Gary Rothfeld injects Botox  into the muscle tissue in minute doses, it temporarily paralyzes the muscle causing the muscle to relax and the wrinkles to disappear.

What is the most common downside of BOTOX® Cosmetic?
 
As in any procedure, the most common downside is inexperience. You must be sure that the person doing your procedure is a board certified dermatologist such as Dr. Gary Rothfeld, a NYC Cosmetic Dermatological surgeon. The most common side effects are all temporary but can happen. Less than one percent of patients can experience a droopy eyebrow or eyelid for a few weeks to slight bruising.

How long do the effects of BOTOX® Cosmetic last?
 
The benefits of Botox can last from three to four months at which time you can have the procedure done again.

Does it hurt?
 
It’s no more painful than plugging your eyebrows and the procedure only takes seconds. Discomfort is minimal and brief. Once the injection is complete, there is usually no discomfort and the results can last up to four months.

BOTOX^®is indicated for the treatment of severe primary axillary hyperhidrosis that is inadequately managed with topical agents.

Important Safety Information

Contraindications
BOTOX^® treatment is contraindicated in the presence of infection at the proposed injection site(s) and in individuals with known hypersensitivity to any ingredient in the formulation.

Warnings
The recommended dosage and frequency of administration for BOTOX^® should not be exceeded. Risks resulting from administration at higher dosages are not known.

Serious and/or immediate hypersensitivity reactions have been rarely reported. These reactions include anaphylaxis, urticaria, soft tissue edema, and dyspnea. If such a reaction occurs, further BOTOX^® injection should be discontinued and appropriate medical therapy immediately instituted. BOTOX^® should only be diluted with 0.9% nonpreserved sodium chloride.

Individuals with peripheral motor neuropathic diseases (eg, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or motor neuropathy) or neuromuscular junctional disorders (eg, myasthenia gravis or Lambert-Eaton syndrome) should only receive BOTOX^®with caution. Patients with neuromuscular disorders may be at increased risk of clinically significant systemic effects including severe dysphagia and respiratory compromise from typical doses of BOTOX^®.

Precautions
Patients should be evaluated for potential causes of secondary hyperhidrosis (eg, hyperthyroidism) to avoid symptomatic treatment of hyperhidrosis without the diagnosis and/or treatment of the underlying disease.

Adverse Reactions
There have been rare reports of adverse events involving the cardiovascular system, including arrhythmia and myocardial infarction, some with fatal outcomes. Some of these patients had risk factors including cardiovascular disease. The exact relationship of these events to the botulinum toxin injection has not been established.

The most frequently reported adverse events (3% to 10% of patients) following BOTOX^® injection for severe primary axillary hyperhidrosis included injection-site pain and hemorrhage, non-axillary sweating, infection, pharyngitis, flu syndrome, headache, fever, neck or back pain, pruritus, and anxiety.
