Botox ™ Cosmetic Injections

Mercer Island - Seattle - Bellevue

Botox is one of the most common methods used to temporarily eliminate wrinkles between the eyebrows and on the forehead, crow's feet near the eyelids and lines around the mouth. Approved by the FDA, Botox cosmetic injections work by weakening or paralyzing certain facial muscles, which causes fine lines and wrinkles to disappear. Botox treatments are required every three to four months to maintain desired results. Side effects of Botox treatments include short-lived pain in the affected area, head or stomach pain, and temporary inappropriate facial expressions such as drooping eyelid, uneven smile or the inability to close the eyes.
