The doctors at Key-Whitman can also treat and prevent moderate to severe wrinkles with BOTOX cosmetic injections. When injected into selected muscles, BOTOX weakens or paralyzes these muscles, effectively eliminating crow’s feet, frown lines, and forehead lines. Results last from three to six with the first BOTOX treatment. BOTOX is a nonsurgical procedure that usually takes approximately 10 minutes to administer. Discomfort from the procedure is minimal, and no recovery time is needed.
