Visit Ethos Spa, Skin and Laser Center to schedule you complimentary consultation with one
of our
physicians to see if you can benefit from Botox.
Botox is a protein prepared from bacteria, Clostridium botulinum, that inhibits muscle activity by blocking the transmission from the nerve to the muscle. Cosmetic Botox is a large uniform molecular structure, 900–kD size, with protective accessory proteins. It is FDA approved for the treatment of glabellar lines, the lines that form between the eyebrows, also known as "elevens."
Botox is administered in a simple, five– to 10-minute procedure consisting of a few tiny injections. No anesthesia is required. A cold pack or anesthetic cream may be used. Minimal and brief discomfort. There may be slight temporary bruising at the injection site. This can be easily covered up with makeup. There is no downtime.
Botox injections typically require no more than 5 to 10 minutes depending on the area(s) injected. After a complete history is performed, your Ethos physician will determine if you are a candidate. You will sign a consent advising you of the potential side effect of Botox injection.
