BOTOX in Columbus, Ohio

Botox is used to decrease wrinkles by weakening muscles of the face that create expression lines such as frown lines and crow’s feet. Precision placement of the solution does require several injection sites, as well as an in depth understanding of your anatomy. The careful placement of the BOTOX® Cosmetic injection will ensure that you achieve the smoothest skin surface while maintaining the movement that is critical for a natural appearance and expression. Our expert injectors understand  the location and function of the muscles and will help you achieve your desired result.

General Information

Dr. Stephen Nogan views BOTOX® Cosmetic as a medical procedure. Columbus Facial Plastics is among the top BOTOX ®Cosmetic users in the nation. Our Nurse Injectors, Nancy Cotterman RN and Shireen Shatti CNP graduated from a comprehensive BOTOX® Cosmetic training program. Their expertise, experience and professionalism makes our team one of the best BOTOX® Cosmetic Injection teams in the country.

 

Please make sure you eat before your scheduled appointment. We do not want you to become light-headed with the procedure. Excessive amounts of caffeine may heighten your sensitivity to the injection.

Often times patients confuse BOTOX® Cosmetic with dermal fillers. While BOTOX® Cosmetic  helps smooth out lines in the face, Dermal Fillers can fill in the lines and deficits. Fillers such as Volbella, Vollure and Voluma are manufactured by Allergan, the makers of Botox Cosmetic.

What can I expect after the BOTOX procedure?

After the BOTOX treatment, your normal routine can be resumed almost immediately. There may be mild pinkness and swelling at the injection sites for 30 minutes. Because the injection points are so small, cosmetics and cover up make-up may be reapplied immediately after the injection. Our Director of Skin Care, Dina Maynard, recommends mineral based make-up products, these are available at Columbus Facial Plastics.

Is Botox safe?

Botox injections are considered safe when you’re under the care of a licensed and skilled provider. If you are currently pregnant or breastfeeding, you should not receive Botox injections.

How Does Botox Work?

Botox blocks signals from the nerves to the muscles. The injected muscle cannot contract. This makes wrinkles relax and soften.

When should someone consider getting Botox?

It’s not your age that determines when BOTOX® Cosmetic is right for you, it’s the severity of your lines. Whenever your lines start to bother you, go speak with your provider. They can help you determine if a Botox treatment is right for you.
