BOTOX® Cosmetic & Brow Treatment For Patients in Orange, CT
A personalized approach to expression lines.
BOTOX Cosmetic is a prescription injectable that temporarily reduces activity in selected muscles. The practice evaluates facial movement and your goals before discussing treatment.
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a prescription drug that, when injected, temporarily paralyzes muscles. It contains a purified and safe form of botulinum toxin A, which is produced by the microbe that causes botulism. Manufactured by Allergan, Inc., it is used to treat permanent furrows and deep wrinkles in the skin that are formed by the continual contraction of facial muscles. In addition to its cosmetic applications, it is used to treat a number of medical problems, including excessive sweating, overactive bladder, neck spasms, crossed eyes, chronic back and jaw pain, and migraines.

Additional Treatment Safety Information
A nonsurgical brow treatment is different from a surgical brow lift. Ask whether the proposed injection pattern is an approved or off-label use, how much change is realistic, and whether brow or eyelid surgery better fits your concern.
Side effects can include injection-site discomfort, headache, and eyelid or brow drooping. Serious reactions can occur. Review the full product safety information and your medications and medical history with your clinician.
Individual results and recovery vary. Your consultation provides guidance specific to your needs.

Facial plastic surgery focuses on procedures of the face, head, and neck — both cosmetic procedures like facelift and rhinoplasty and reconstructive treatments for functional concerns.
Recovery varies by procedure and by patient. Some non-surgical treatments involve little or no downtime. After surgery, the time needed to return to work or routine activities may range from several days to several weeks, while swelling, incision healing, and final results can continue to improve for weeks or months. During your consultation, Dr. Mao will explain the expected recovery timeline, activity restrictions, and follow-up care for the procedure being considered.
Good candidates are in general good health, have realistic expectations, and have specific concerns they would like addressed. A consultation is the best way to find out.
