Botox

BOTOX® Cosmetic according to Dr. Rothfeld a board certified NYC dermatologist at NYC Dermatology is a simple, non-surgical treatment that smoothes the deep, persistent lines between the brows that have developed over time. One five-minute treatment --- a few tiny injections --- relaxes the muscles that cause the lines to form and keeps them relaxed, up to four months. It is virtually a painless procedure, similar to plucking eyebrows. BOTOX® Cosmetic has been widely tested and is approved by the FDA. Our results at NYC Cosmetic Dermatology Center are dramatic and apparent within days. For many, BOTOX® Cosmetic, virtually “erases” these lines.

Unlike surgery, BOTOX® Cosmetic is fast, simple and minimally invasive with no downtime or recovery. Most people return directly to work or normal activity following treatment. Within days, they report looking more natural and relaxed according to Dr. Rothfeld, board certified dermatologist at NYC Dermatology.

BOTOX® Cosmetic is not magic. It’s medicine, the result of years of careful research and testing. Allergan’s BOTOX® Cosmetic product is the only one of its type with more than 10 years of success in treating patients with a variety of conditions including hyperhydrosis (sweating palms and arm pits) and migraines. BOTOX® Cosmetic is a natural, purified protein produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacterium. Very low doses of BOTOX® Cosmetic are administered via a few tiny injections. BOTOX® Cosmetic works by blocking the transmission of nerve impulses to the injected muscles. The effects of BOTOX® Cosmetic are usually confined to the injected region; it does not travel throughout the body.
