Injected with a needle under the skin of your face or other trouble spots, Botox\u2019s purified type A toxin temporarily paralyzes the specific muscles contracting under your aging skin that cause surface wrinkling. Botox therapy is a simple procedure that targets only the areas that need it. This helps ensure the rest of your muscles retain their mobility and that your smile is still expressive.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/span>\r\n                    <\/span>\r\n                <\/div>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n\r\n        <div class=\"panel panel-default\">   \r\n            <div class=\"panel-heading\">\r\n                <a data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-parent=\"#qna_section\" href=\"#answer2\" class=\"question\">\r\n                    <div class=\"fa-plus-div\"><i class=\"fa fa-plus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/div>\r\n                    <h4 class=\"panel-title\">\r\n                        <span itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\r\n                            <span itemprop=\"name\">What are the benefits of Botox injections?<\/span>\r\n                            <div itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\r\n                                <meta itemprop=\"text\" content=\"noblecosmeticsurgery.com\">\r\n                            <\/div>\r\n                        <\/span>\r\n                    <\/h4>\r\n                <\/a>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n            <div id=\"answer2\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse\">\r\n                <div class=\"panel-body\">\r\n                    <span itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\r\n                        <span itemprop=\"text\"><p>Botox treatments don\u2019t leave scars, require little downtime, and effectively smooth your skin in a variety of areas:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Wrinkles around your eyes&#8217; outer corners (crow\u2019s feet)<\/li>\n<li>Creases in your forehead<\/li>\n<li>Frown lines<\/li>\n<li>Lip lines<\/li>\n<li>Deep chin dimples<\/li>\n<li>Smiles showing too much of your upper gums<\/li>\n<li>Thick neck bands<\/li>\n<li>Nasal bridge wrinkles (bunny lines)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/span>\r\n                    <\/span>\r\n                <\/div>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n\r\n        <div class=\"panel panel-default\">   \r\n            <div class=\"panel-heading\">\r\n                <a data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-parent=\"#qna_section\" href=\"#answer3\" class=\"question\">\r\n                    <div class=\"fa-plus-div\"><i class=\"fa fa-plus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/div>\r\n                    <h4 class=\"panel-title\">\r\n                        <span itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\r\n                            <span itemprop=\"name\">Are Botox injections painful?<\/span>\r\n                            <div itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\r\n                                <meta itemprop=\"text\" content=\"noblecosmeticsurgery.com\">\r\n                            <\/div>\r\n                        <\/span>\r\n                    <\/h4>\r\n                <\/a>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n            <div id=\"answer3\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse\">\r\n                <div class=\"panel-body\">\r\n                    <span itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\r\n                        <span itemprop=\"text\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because Botox treatments don\u2019t require anesthesia, it\u2019s clear this noninvasive procedure doesn\u2019t cause much discomfort and doesn\u2019t compare to other forms of plastic surgery. The needle used is also thin, which helps reduce any pain felt during sessions. But Dr. Obasi is always willing to offer topical numbing medication in the form of cream to the patients that need it before injections.

Many men and women notice visible wrinkle reduction within a few days before seeing the full effect about a week later. You enjoy two or three months of diminished or eliminated wrinkles, then gradually, the signs of your crow\u2019s feet, lip lines, gummy smile, neck creases, or other treated aging skin return to its original state. Visit Dr. Obasi a few times a year for Botox injection therapy to maintain your youthful, smoother skin. If you feel it is finally time to reduce your wrinkles for months at a time and look more like the age you feel, call Noble Cosmetic Surgery or book an appointment online with Dr. Patrick Obasi to see if Botox is right for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/span>\r\n                    <\/span>\r\n                <\/div>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<style>\r\n  \/* FQA Section *\/\r\n#qna_section {\r\n    margin-top: 35px;\r\n    }\r\n#qna_section.panel-group .panel {\r\n    margin-bottom: 15px;\r\n    border: none;\r\n    box-shadow: none;\r\n    }\r\n#qna_section .panel-default .panel-heading {\r\n    background-color: #870292;\r\n    color: #fff;\r\n    }\r\n#qna_section .panel-default .panel-heading a {\r\n    display: block;\r\n    position: relative;\r\n    color: #fff;\r\n    padding-left: 20px;\r\n    text-transform: uppercase;\r\n    text-decoration: none !important;\r\n    }\r\n#qna_section .panel-default .panel-heading a .fa-plus-div {\r\n    display: inline-block;\r\n    position: absolute;\r\n    text-align: center;\r\n    border-radius: 100%;\r\n    padding: 0;\r\n    margin: 0;\r\n    font-size: 18px;\r\n    right: 0;\r\n    top: -7px;\r\n    }\r\n#qna_section .panel-default .panel-heading a h4 {\r\n    font-size: 18px;\r\n    letter-spacing: .5px;\r\n    padding-right: 18px;\r\n    }\r\n#qna_section .panel-default .panel-collapse {\r\n    background: #f5f9f9;\r\n    }\r\n\/* ##END -  FQA Section *\/\r\n<\/style>\r\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When sunblock and anti-aging creams aren\u2019t enough to reduce your wrinkles, maybe you\u2019re ready to explore more powerful cosmetic treatments.
