BOTOX® & OTHER NEUROTOXINS
WHAT IS COSMETIC BOTOX®?
Cosmetic Botox® is an FDA-approved treatment that helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes. Put simply, it relaxes the muscles responsible for creating wrinkles, which in turn smoothens skin and fosters a more youthful appearance.
HOW DOES COSMETIC BOTOX® WORK AROUND THE EYES?
Cosmetic Botox® works by temporarily blocking nerve signals that cause facial muscles to retract. When these muscles are relaxed, the skin becomes smoother, reducing the appearance of fine lines such as crow’s feet. The procedure requires minimal downtime, and the results typically last for a few months.

ARE THERE ANY COSMETIC BOTOX® SIDE EFFECTS?
Potential side effects of Botox® include:
• Discomfort or pain at the injection site
• Minimal bleeding
• Bruising
• Swelling
Dr. Scott uses special needles and attentive placement of injections to reduce these effects in her patients.
Rare side effects include:
• Headache
• Eyelid Drooping
• Brow Drooping
• Double Vision
• Allergic reactions
WHY BOTOX® AT PALM VALLEY EYE?
At Palm Valley Eye we provide Botox® treatments to improve the appearance of lines between the brows, around the eyes, and on the forehead. Injecting Botox® into these specific muscles can help to temporarily reduce muscle activity and smooth out the overlying wrinkles or lines.
During your consultation, Dr. Scott will discuss your treatment goals and determine the best treatment areas for you. The actual injection process usually takes less than 10 minutes. There is minimal recovery time. You should begin to see visible smoothing of your wrinkles and lines within 48-72 hours, with the full effect generally achieved approximately 7-10 days later. Treatment with Botox® may last for a variable amount of time in each individual, but on average can be expected to provide results for 3 months.
Ophthalmologists, like Dr. Scott, were some of the first doctors to use Cosmetic Botox®. Because Dr. Scott has extensive knowledge of the delicate skin, muscles, and tissue around the eye and is an eye surgeon, she can administer injectables like Botox® with exceptional precision. For the patients, that means the most natural results with less risk of poor outcomes.

LATISSE®
WHAT IS LATISSE®?
Latisse® is an FDA approved treatment to help lengthen, thicken and darken eyelashes. It uses an ingredient called bimatoprost, which helps increase both the number of eyelashes and the length of the hair growth cycle. Typically, it takes about eight to 12 weeks to see full results.
HOW DOES LATISSE® WORK?
Latisse® lash serum works by extending the growth phase of your eyelashes and increasing the number of hairs in the growth cycle. Using bimatoprost, it stimulates the hair follicles and encourages them to produce lashes that are longer, thicker and darker. When applied daily to the upper lash line, Latisse® gradually enhances eyelash appearance over time. The medication is most effective when used daily for at least two months. When you stop using Latisse® your eyelashes will eventually return to their original appearance.
