Patient Procedures at Mountain View Eye Center

Botox works by blocking the nerve signals that cause the muscles to contract. Your surgeon will inject a specific amount of Botox into the affected muscle. The treatment begins to take effect within 2 days, and will achieve maximum results within 2 weeks. Over time the medication will wear off, and the procedure will need to be repeated around 3 months later.

Common side effects include pain, swelling and injection site reactions.

Is BOTOX covered by insurance?

Because blepharospasm is a medical diagnosis, BOTOX should be covered by insurance.
