Botox

Years of sun exposure and repetitive facial muscle movements such as laughing and squinting cause the skin around the eyes and forehead to develop deep lines and wrinkles.  Using BOTOX ® Cosmetic, a muscle relaxing agent, we can significantly reduce these lines making you look younger.  

What is BOTOX ® Cosmetic?

BOTOX ® Cosmetic is a purified protein produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacterium that is injected into the muscles of the face which cause wrinkles/frown lines. Botox is the only FDA-approved, non-surgical,  treatment with no “down time” that significantly reduces the appearance of frown lines in patients 18 to 65 years of age. Noticeable improvement is seen within days and lasts up to 4 months.

How does BOTOX ® Cosmetic work?

BOTOX ® Cosmetic works by blocking the chemical communication between the nerves and the muscle; this causes the reduction of activity of the muscles that are responsible for the formation of frown lines.
