> BOTOX®
This innovative injection treatment is helping many patients effectively reduce wrinkles, scars, crow's feet and sun damage - without surgery or significant downtime. The unique protein composition of BOTOX® actually relaxes facial muscles, eliminating crow's feet and frown lines and helping patients to break the wrinkle-forming habit, regaining a more youthful appearance. The positive effects of BOTOX® can last two to four months and it's a safe, non-surgical procedure that is providing our patients exciting results!
Dr. Schlessinger has offered BOTOX® for his patients for over 5 years and is a national expert, lecturing nationally on this. He is one of a select few members in the National BOTOX® Training Center Network. Skin Specialists is the only National BOTOX® Training Center in Nebraska.
How does BOTOX® work?
BOTOX® blocks impulses from the nerve to the tiny facial muscles that are related to expression lines. BOTOX® also relaxes the muscles so you look more relaxed. After treatment, the overlying skin remains smooth and unwrinkled.
What is the treatment like?
Treatment with BOTOX® is a simple and safe procedure. A very small amount of BOTOX® is injected very precisely into several areas. Most patients compare the sensation to a little sting. No sedation or local anesthetic is required, and you can resume normal activities immediately. You can even drive yourself home or back to the office. Some patients may experience a slight temporary bruising at the injection site which can easily be covered with make-up.
Are BOTOX® treatments safe?
BOTOX® injections have been used safely and effectively for over thirty years to treat many other medical conditions. Each year thousands of patients receive BOTOX® treatments for a variety of conditions and it is quickly becoming the most popular treatment for reversing the visible signs of aging.
