Say Goodbye to Your Fine Lines and Wrinkles

Say Goodbye to Your Fine Lines and Wrinkles

Years of smiling, frowning, talking and chewing can cause noticeable wrinkles to develop around your eyes. While this is a natural botoxprocess, it can age a person before their time. At Ear Nose & Throat Surgeons of Western New England in Springfield and Northampton, MA, our trained medical providers can eliminate those years of wrinkles with a Botox treatment. You've likely heard of Botox, but our staff has outlined more of the information about it here.

What is Botox?

Botox is the shortened name for botulinum toxin, which is a naturally occurring protein that, when sterilized and used in minuscule amounts, halts muscular movement. Cosmetically, a Botox treatment's purpose is to smooth out facial wrinkles by preventing movement of the muscles that cause them, particularly around and between the eyes. With these muscles temporarily paralyzed, the wrinkles that form over them gradually smooth out.

How is Botox applied?

Botox is mixed with saline and injected with a very fine needle into the targeted area of the face. Over a period of one to three days, the neurotransmitters associated with the muscles begin to respond to the treatment. At Ear Nose & Throat Surgeons of Western New England in Springfield, MA a cosmetic Botox treatment is administered in a clinical setting, ensuring safety, accuracy and cleanliness throughout the whole procedure.

How long does Botox last?

On average, our patients see results lasting three to four months, although each Botox treatment will vary based on the depth of the wrinkles and the individual response to the procedure. Botox can be reapplied approximately three to four times each year.
