Fort Lauderdale, FL ( prfree.org ) January 23, 2014 - Today, there are very few treatments as popular and in-demand as BOTOX® Cosmetic. For many years, BOTOX® Cosmetic has been used to safely eliminate the appearance of deep wrinkles and facial lines.

Dr. Roger H. Stewart, of Fort Lauderdale-based Skin Center, states that the BOTOX® has remained so popular among patients, since it is a non-invasive procedure that requires no downtime and little pain. "BOTOX® is performed through a series of small injections in a targeted area," Dr. Stewart explains, "Some of the most common areas targeted for injection include lines around the mouth, across the forehead, and crow's feet beneath the eyes. In addition to helping patients look younger and revitalized, BOTOX® has also been used to successfully treat issues such as muscle spasms, migraine headaches, and excessive sweating."

BOTOX® is composed of a safe, purified protein, which must be injected by a qualified physician, like Dr. Stewart. "It is extremely important for patients who receive BOTOX® from a physician who has a great deal of experience with the injection technique, since injecting it incorrectly may cause a great deal of long-term damage to a patient's face," Dr. Stewart adds.

Dr. Stewart explains that, while the injections are normally quite safe, they may not be right for everyone. "BOTOX® is not for patients who are pregnant, or breast-feeding," he says, "Patients who have a pre-existing skin condition or infections are also usually not considered good candidates for the treatment."

Side-effects associated with this procedure may include muscles weakness, swelling or bruising at the injection site, and headaches. "Fortunately, these side-effects are temporary," Dr. Stewart says, "Most of my patients who have received BOTOX® report feeling little pain or discomfort, and love the natural-looking results. I encourage any patient looking to correct the appearance of wrinkles or lines to explore BOTOX®."
