Botox® is a protein that blocks a nerve’s ability to cause muscle contraction.

It can be used to dramatically improve crow’s feet and forehead frown lines.  Several small injections are made into the muscles of those areas.  This procedure only takes a few minutes and causes minimal discomfort.  It is a very inconspicuous procedure with very conspicuous results.  The following before and after pictures were taken of patients treated by Dr. McCauliffe.

This patient had three small injections into the crow’s feet area.  The after picture was taken one week following treatment. 

This patient had several small injections into the scowl area (circle) and forehead frown lines (arrows).  The after picture was taken one week following treatment.  The patient was trying to frown as much as possible in both pictures.  Note the improvement in the scowl lines and the forehead frown lines.

Note the improvement in the appearance of this patient’s neck after only one treatment.  The ridged neck cords have flattened producing a much smoother appearance.

Only a few injections are needed to treat each wrinkled area.  These injections take only a few minutes.  Patients tolerate this procedure well with minimal discomfort.  After treatment you can immediately return to your daily activities, usually with no visual evidence that the procedure was performed.  The initial Botox® injections start taking effect within 2 to 7 days, last several months, and gradually wear off.  Subsequent injections have longer lasting effects.

For underarm perspiration only a few injections are needed for each area.  This is a rather painless and quick procedure.  For treating heavy perspiration of the hands, multiple very small injections are needed for best results.  Topical anesthetic cream and two injections numb the hand to minimize the discomfort.  The initial injections start taking effect within 2 to 7 days, last several months, and gradually wear off.  Subsequent injections have longer lasting effects.
