Botox

Botox® for aesthetic purposes is a popular and safe procedure that can help to reduce lines and wrinkles. At our office in West Columbia Botox works by relaxing the facial muscles that causes lines and wrinkles, allowing for a smoother look. Botox side effects are rare when undertaken by a professional aesthetics clinic such as the team at Southern Urogynecology but may include temporary effects such as bruising and swelling from the injection. There are no lasting side effects, allowing for patients to resume their activities straight away without recovery downtime.

There are some patients for whom Botox may not be a good idea: patients with damaged nerves in their face, muscle conditions, or those who are pregnant or breastfeeding. The effects of Botox for aesthetic purposes can last up to six months. Botox effects vary from person to person, so it’s important to book a consultation to learn more before undertaking this procedure.
