The Importance of Patient Comfort During Injections
Dr. Greene takes great pride in how comfortable his patients are during injections. He has developed special techniques over the years that ensure that the treatments cause little or no discomfort.
Injectable treatments should not be painful. Too often, patients come to our office complaining that treatments they received elsewhere were uncomfortable, with few efforts done to eliminate the discomfort. Dr. Greene feels very strongly that an injectable treatment should be a pleasant experience for the patient. He goes to great lengths to make certain that his treatments cause little to no discomfort. From feedback he has received from numerous patients, he has developed a painless treatment system that incorporates specialized techniques and is customized for each treatment.
How Should I Prepare For a Treatment?
There is very little preparation for a treatment. However, you should avoid using aspirin, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications, St. John's wort, or high doses of Vitamin E supplements for one week prior to treatment. These agents could lead to bruising after injection. Also, if you have previously suffered from facial cold sores, you may be prescribed a medication to minimize recurrence.
BOTOX® Cosmetic
Botox® Cosmetic is a purified protein that is used to eliminate the frown lines between the brows, flatten deep forehead wrinkles, and soften the ‘crow’s feet’ wrinkles next to the eyes. It blocks nerve transmission to the muscles that cause wrinkles of the face. After treatment, the muscles relax, and the overlying skin becomes smooth and unwrinkled.
Dr. Greene uses a few tiny microinjections to deliver the Botox® treatments, so discomfort is minimal. The treatment is usually done in about 10 minutes, and there is no downtime. Within a few days, patients see a marked improvement that can last up to 4 months. With so many advantages, it is easy to see why patient satisfaction is so high with these treatments in our office.
Contrary to what you may have heard, Botox® does not produce an unnatural appearance with a ‘frozen’ look. An experienced injector knows exactly how to produce natural results that enhance the appearance.
Dysport®
For years, Botox® was the only treatment option to address wrinkles of the upper face. Dysport® was recently approved by the FDA as an alternative to Botox®. Like Botox®, it is a simple, painless injection that relaxes the muscles responsible for creating frown lines and facial wrinkles. Dysport® has been used in over 100 countries for over 20 years.
