Chelsea Eye is one of New York City's foremost cosmetic skin centers for Botox treatment.
Botulinum Toxin (BOTOX ®)
was developed for medical use and then approved
by the FDA for the treatment of uncontrollable
eyelid spasms in 1992. Since
this time, BOTOX ® has been used successfully
to treat excess sweating,
migraine headaches and muscle spasms and constrictions.
It was found to
have excellent applications in cosmetic facial
rejuvenation and we have been
using BOTOX® Cosmetic for these purposes
for many years.

Throughout history, people have looked for ways
to achieve a younger, more vibrant look by improving
their facial
appearance. A procedure utilizing BOTOX® Cosmetic
(Botulinum Toxin) is used for the treatment of
facial lines and wrinkles.
BOTOX® has been safely used for certain medical
conditions
for more than a decade. This procedure, sometimes
referred to as cosmetic denervation, has been considered
a safe
and effective way of treating aging skin. It is
used to eliminate or reduce worry and frown lines, "crows
feet", laugh lines, and other wrinkles sometimes
called dynamic wrinkles. It can also be used to "lift" such as the eyebrows and corners of the mouth and to relax muscles of the face for a more youthful appearance.
A sedative or local anesthetic is not used because
the pain associated with the procedure is minimal.
A small amount of discomfort is felt when the
needle is inserted and the liquid injected. This
sensation lasts approximately 5 seconds. BOTOX® Cosmetic
is injected into various locations on the face.
The needle is extremely small and only a tiny
amount of liquid is injected at one time. We
use ice packs on the eye and face to provide
anesthesia and decrease the chance of bruising.
