BOTOX® Cosmetic is an FDA-approved injection that reduces the appearance of facial wrinkles by temporarily relaxing your muscles to create smoother, younger-looking skin.

A Common Procedure

Thousands of women and men undergo BOTOX® Cosmetic injections to regain a more youthful appearance. The treatment can treat wrinkles in your:

• Forehead
• Neck
• Between your brows
• Below your eyes
• Around the mouth

At the Plastic Surgery Institute of Southeast Texas, only board-certified Houston plastic surgeon Dr. Leo Lapuerta administers BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments. He uses a very tiny needle to inject the desired area. A skilled injector, Dr. Lapuerta’s expert technique ensures that you will most likely feel no pain during this procedure.

A Pain-Free Procedure

Some patients may experience temporary discomfort from the injection. If you are uncomfortable, the injection site can be numbed with an anesthetic cream. Dr. Lapuerta’s years of experience dealing with the complex anatomy of the face allows him to safely and effectively provide optimum and nearly pain-free results.
