BOTOX

The Cosmetic Institute welcomes BOTOX patients from Los Gatos, San Jose, Santa Cruz and surrounding areas.

What is BOTOX®?

BOTOX® is a popular, nonsurgical treatment that temporarily reduces or eliminates frown lines, forehead creases and crow’s feet near the eyes. It is one of the most popular anti-wrinkle treatments offered at The Cosmetic Institute in Los Gatos, CA. Our staff sees patients from near and far, including Los Gatos, San Jose, Santa Cruz, Santa Clara, Saratoga, Sunnyvale and Campbell.

What makes BOTOX® so effective is its base ingredient. BOTOX® consists of a naturally produced protein that blocks signals from the nerves to the muscles. This helps prevent muscle contraction, which is the reason for certain types of wrinkles.

Am I a Good Candidate for BOTOX®?

There are multiple reasons why men and women undergo BOTOX® with us in Los Gatos. Some of our patients’ most common objectives include:

To relax wrinkles of the forehead and "crow’s feet" at the outer eye
To relax frown lines and wrinkles between the eyes
To give the face a more relaxed and youthful appearance

How is BOTOX® administered?

BOTOX® treatments performed at our Los Gatos facility do not require anesthesia and take only a few minutes. Using a very fine needle to minimize pain, your BOTOX® specialist will inject a small amount of the solution into the affected muscle. The injected muscle can no longer contract, which causes the wrinkles to loosen and soften. Tiny facial muscles underneath the skin are relaxed, while the visible facial skin appears smooth and uncreased. The injection will not spread to the bloodstream, but will remain in the targeted muscle.

What Can I Expect After BOTOX®?

The effects of your Los Gatos BOTOX® treatments will be almost immediate, and the results can last for four to seven months. Though BOTOX® is associated with the toxin that causes botulism, scientists have found a way to safely use this protein for your advantage. The FDA approved its use in 2002. The BOTOX® solution administered at The Cosmetic Institute is a small, diluted amount. It is completely safe and there is a low chance of side effects.
