Botox injections are the most common cosmetic procedures performed in the US and continue to grow in popularity. The Center for Facial Appearances is the number one user of Botox in the intermountain west.
Drs. Anderson and McCann have been innovators in the use of Botox and have taught many of the other area physicians injection technique via the Botox National Education Faculty program. All Botox injections at The Center for Facial Appearances are given by Dr. Anderson or Dr. McCann.
Botox is a purified protein that relaxes muscles by blocking nerve impulses. Tiny doses are injected under the skin to eliminate wrinkles and expression lines. Areas treated with Botox include the forehead, frown lines, crow's feet, lips, chin, and neck bands. Many patients get Botox injections over the lunch hour and return to work with no sign of having been treated. The combination of topical anesthetic and a tiny needle makes Botox injections a painless experience that requires no recovery. It takes Botox 3 days to relax the wrinkles and the effect last 3-6 months.
Botox is also used at The Center to treat patients with spasms of the eyelids, face, and neck. In addition, it has proven very useful in treating excess sweating of the hands, feet and armpits as well as an excellent treatment for Migraine and Stress headaches. Many insurance companies are even beginning to participate in payment for Botox to treat headaches that are resistant to conventional therapy.
