BOTOX COSMETIC^®

How does it work?  Botox works by gently relaxing muscles that are pulling the skin into wrinkles.  It can counteract muscles that are pulling the face downward, allowing the other muscles to provide more lift to the face. The medication is carefully purified from a chemical produced by a specific bacteria found in nature. 

How long does it last?  Botox effects usually last 3-4 months, your results may vary; many patients prefer low-dose “touch-ups” every 6-8 weeks rather than repeating the entire treatment every 3-4 months.

Is it safe? Only bona-fide product manufactured by Allergan,  the pharmaceutical company which developed this medication, is ever used.  Drs. Krever is a licensed, board-certified physician who has been specifically trained in the use of these products.  When used correctly, Botox is extremely safe.  It was originally developed for use in children with cerebral palsy.

Who should not use Botox Cosmetic?  Anyone with a neuromuscular disorder such as Myasthenia Gravis should not use Botox.  Botox has not been tested in pregnant women or nursing mothers and is therefore not recommended for these patients.

How much does it cost?  The amount of Botox used is carefully tailored for each patient.  In the same way that different patients require different doses of any medication, Botox dosing will vary by the patient and is usually related to the size and strength of the facial muscles being targeted.  It is priced by the number of units used.
