BOTOX® Cosmetic

BOTOX® Cosmetic is the treatment that you've heard so much about for the last few years and for very good reason. BOTOX® Cosmetic can smooth out the lines that form across the forehead, between the eyebrows and at the corner of the eyes, making you look younger and more relaxed. Additionally, BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments take about 10 minutes, no anesthesia is necessary as there is minimal pain, no recovery time is necessary and the effects last up to 4 months. In the greater San Diego area, New Image Cosmetic Surgery is conveniently located off the 75 on Coronado Island so you can easily fit a BOTOX® Cosmetic Treatment into your busy work or shopping schedule. To schedule your confidential consultation with Dr. Schafer in his San Diego office, call our toll free number (888) 306-3647 today or request a consultation online.

The lines that BOTOX® Cosmetic treats are called dynamic wrinkles. Dynamic wrinkles result from laughing, smiling, scowling, disagreeing basically all of the ways that we express ourselves as we go through life. BOTOX® Cosmetic allows these muscles to relax, which in turn, smoothes out the skin. The first treatment's results will typically last three months. However, it is common to have the results of subsequent treatments last longer each time, commonly up to six months or longer.
