BOTOX® Cosmetic (Injectable Wrinkle Relaxer) – Phoenix, AZ

BOTOX is a highly effective, FDA-approved wrinkle relaxer that Dr. G. Robert Meger offers at his Phoenix, AZ private practice. Our skilled nurse injectors at G. Robert Meger, M.D. P.C. will administer a BOTOX injection to the facial skin in order to address signs of aging, such as dynamic wrinkles and lines along the forehead as well as around the eyes. BOTOX is able to smooth out wrinkles since it is comprised of botulinum toxin type A, a natural substance that induces temporary paralysis of the facial muscles. Once the facial muscles are able to stop contracting, the wrinkles associated with the movement of the face can be reduced. We invite anyone who is seeking a more youthful complexion to schedule a consult at our office and learn more about BOTOX. 

During the initial consultation, our plastic surgeon will ask about the patient’s concerns and goals to help them decide if BOTOX is the best treatment. Ideal candidates will have:

• Deep lines and wrinkles caused by repetitive facial expressions
• Facial asymmetry, particularly around the eyebrows
• Wrinkles that make them look sad, tired, or mad
• Disinterest in a facelift

A BOTOX treatment is usually performed on the same day as the consultation in about 15 – 30 minutes as an outpatient procedure. Our trusted registered nurse injector will clean the treatment sites before the BOTOX is injected into the facial muscles with a thin needle. Most patients feel mild to no discomfort during the procedure, but local anesthesia or numbing cream can be used if the patient prefers. Patients will be able to leave right after their BOTOX treatment, but they should avoid lying down, touching the injection sites, and exercise for at least 24 hours. There may be temporary bruising, swelling, or redness in the first 1 – 2 days.

While some results will be seen right after the treatment, patients will see the full results of BOTOX in 3 – 4 days as the dynamic wrinkles begin to soften and smooth. BOTOX treatments usually last 3 – 6 months, so patients are encouraged to schedule their next appointment after their treatment to prevent the results from fading. Our nurse injector may also suggest a follow-up appointment several weeks after the initial treatment to check the patient’s progress and add more BOTOX if needed.

Make all the facial expressions you want without worrying about creating wrinkles that make you look older and tired by scheduling BOTOX sessions. Injectable wrinkle relaxer treatments with BOTOX Cosmetic will leave you refreshed and rejuvenated. We invite you to schedule a consult at our Phoenix, AZ office today to see if BOTOX is the right choice for you.
