BOTOX In NJ: Wrinkle Reduction Injections In New Jersey
Ever notice how certain people’s features seem to be permanently plastered with an expression of rage or displeasure? After a lifetime of squinting, frowning, and furrowing our brows, deep furrows formed by the wrinkles that progressively form around our eyes and forehead are the source of these. Fortunately, BOTOX® injections can be used by Dr. Rapaport to rapidly and easily minimize these lines, eliminating the need for invasive, hazardous surgery that might leave you disfigured!
What is BOTOX® Cosmetic?
The toxin that BOTOX® Cosmetic uses and is trademarked as Botulinum Toxin Type A is produced by the bacteria Clostridium botulinum and is a refined form of the toxin. When the toxin is present in big enough doses, it can cause botulism, a form of paralysis, by preventing muscles from reacting to nerve signals. However, paralysis only affects that particular location because BOTOX® Cosmetic is injected into that muscle in tiny dosages. This efficiently stops the muscle-related issues, like twitch spasms and frown lines.

How long does it last?
When given by Dr. Rapaport, a BOTOX treatment really only takes a few minutes to complete. After three to ten days, the BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment’s effects become apparent. Muscle activity will resume over the course of three to five months as the BOTOX® Cosmetic effect gradually wears off. A follow-up treatment is recommended to preserve the good outcome and stop the frown lines from showing again.
Who can perform treatment of BOTOX® in New Jersey area?
Only licensed medical professionals should provide BOTOX® Cosmetic injections. The thousands of patients that Dr. Rapaport has served attest to his full certification to offer this service.
Are there any side effects from BOTOX® cosmetic?
Bruising on the treated area and soreness during injection are examples of potential BOTOX® Cosmetic adverse effects that may be noticed during local injection. There are extremely few known long-term negative effects of BOTOX® Cosmetic. One percent of individuals undergoing therapy may experience ptosis, or the lowering of one eyelid. This is entirely transient and frequently goes unnoticed.
Has BOTOX® cosmetic been FDA approved?
Dr. Rapaport offers FDA-approved BOTOX in New Jersey, which has been used since 1980 to treat blepharospasm (uncontrollably blinked eyes) and strabismus (lazy eyes). The use of BOTOX® Cosmetic on forehead wrinkles was first popularized by Vancouver-based physician Dr. Carruthers. A comprehensive study of this procedure was conducted and published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology in 1995. To prevent complications, only use genuine Botox injections, like those administered by Dr. Rapaport.
