Do you get a face cream with Botox? Is there an aftercare treatment that I should use to keep the wrinkles from returning?

Botox is effective for the treatment of dynamic wrinkles.  There are several creams that are prescription based that can work effectively alongside Botox injections to increase collagen content and increase skin resiliency.

Our office has an effective protocol pre and post Botox to eliminate static wrinkles and decrease the long term need for Botox. 

Contact a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who is knowledgeable about skin stimulatory creams and its effects on skin vitality.

There are not face creams with Botox, but there are many out there that claim to be as effective as Botox.

After your Botox treatment the best way to protect your investment is by avoiding sun damage, wearing sun block, and using a good facial cleanser, moisturizer, and exfoliant.
