What is Botox?

Since its clearance by the FDA in 2002 for cosmetic use, botox injections have shown its safety and effectiveness and have become the single most popular non-surgical, cosmetic procedure in the United States. BOTOX is a natural, purified protein that relaxes muscles. Botox is a toxin, but it's extremely safe because it's used in such small amounts and is not spread throughout the body. Only the injected muscle is affected by botox which causes temporary paralysis of the face muscles that pull the skin into frowns or squints and crease the skin.

It can be used to reduce forehead wrinkles and lines, contour & slim the face and body, lift & shape the brow, reduce sweating, tighten pores and improve oily skin.

Wrinkles & Lines

The lines that appear between your brows, forehead, around the eyes and neck are actually result from muscle movement and the passage of time. Underneath your skin, your facial muscles contract, cause a pleating of the overlying skin. After years of crinkling and wrinkling, lines and ceases start to linger longer and can become more pronounced and even permanent. For women, whose faces tend to be more animated than men's, and whose skin is typically more delicate, these lines may appear exaggerated and more permanent. Treatment with BOTOX Cosmetic can visibly smooth and soften moderate to severe frown lines between on your face and neck. It does not 'freeze' your face but merely decrease and soften the lines. An improvement can be seen within days and may last up to 4-6 months, although results may vary.
