Botox & Xeomin

Look Younger with BOTOX® Cosmetic & Xeomin

If moderate-to-severe lines have begun to form between your eyebrows, on your forehead or around your eyes, our BOTOX® Cosmetic and Xeomin treatments in Reston, VA, may be right for you. Millions of men and women have turned to BOTOX Cosmetic and Xeomin to achieve a smoother and younger-looking appearance.

Did you know that ophthalmologists were the first to use Botox? Through ophthalmic treatments for conditions such as Blepharospasm (uncontrollable blinking of the eyelids) as well as Strabismus (muscle disorders of the eye), its wrinkle reducing capacity was discovered.  

How BOTOX Cosmetic & Xeomin Works

Repeated muscle contractions in the face are one of the underlying causes of facial lines. During a BOTOX Cosmetic treatment, small amounts of purified botulinum toxin medication are injected into targeted muscles of the face. The medication allows the facial muscles to relax by blocking nerve impulses. As a result, facial lines are softened and your appearance is rejuvenated. 

The treatment lasts approximately 10 minutes; the injections are often described as a pinching sensation. 

It is important to choose an experienced doctor who is trained in BOTOX Cosmetic injections so you achieve a natural-looking appearance. At NewView Eye Center our ophthalmologist are certified to provide BOTOX Cosmetic and Xeomin injections and have extensive training in protecting the delicate tissues surrounding the eyes.
