Dr. Hand’s Marin County practice offers botox
injections, one of the most popular cosmetic procedures available
today. Botox is a cosmetic injectable that temporarily weakens the muscles
that cause wrinkles. This minimally-invasive procedure that only takes
about 20 minutes, involves a series of injections into the face, frequently
on the forehead to weaken deep horizontal lines. Botox keeps facial
muscles that cause wrinkles from contracting. Untreated facial muscles
can still continue to contract in a normal fashion, so that normal facial
expressions are not affected. This treatment results in smooth and unwrinkled
skin. Botox is most commonly used to treat frown lines and smile lines.
Treatments only take a few minutes and patients can usually return to
their normal activities soon after their visit to Dr. Hand’s Marin
County practice.
The results of Botox injections generally last anywhere from three
to eight months, and patients can come back here to our Marin County
location for another series of injections. Two or three sessions early
on can provide a good baseline result and then, touchups can occur at
longer intervals after that.
