  ABOUT BOTOX

Botox  wrinkle treatment is an incredibly quick "lunch hour" wrinkle remover. It is rapidly replacing collagen injections as the treatment of choice for removing wrinkles.  BOTOX is a purified neurotoxin complex. Areas between the eyebrows, in the forehead and crow's feet can be successfully treated, causing improvement or disappearance of frown lines.

How does BOTOX work?

Botox blocks impulses from the nerve to the tiny facial muscles that are related to expression lines. Botox relaxes the muscles so they do not contract. After treatment, the overlying skin remains smooth and unwrinkled while the untreated facial muscles contract in a normal fashion, allowing normal facial expression to be unaffected.

Are BOTOX treatments safe?

Botox injections have been used safely and effectively for over ten years to treat many ophthalmological and neurological disorders. Each year thousands of patients receive Botox treatments for a variety of conditions and it is quickly becoming a popular treatment for reversing the visible signs of aging.

What is the treatment like?

Using a tiny microneedle, a very small amount of Botox is injected, very precisely, into several locations in the face. No sedation or local anesthetic is required and you can resume normal activities immediately. When injected in minute amounts, Botox works to paralyze those muscles that cause you to frown. Unlike collagen, there are no allergies associated with Botox. The injections take about 10 minutes, are inexpensive, and the effect lasts between four to six months.
