Call to BookAbout BOTOX®
BOTOX® is a widely used cosmetic treatment known for its ability to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. It's a purified neurotoxin that temporarily relaxes muscles by blocking nerve signals, approved by the FDA for both cosmetic and therapeutic uses.
How It Works
- 1Muscle Relaxation: By injecting small amounts of BOTOX® into targeted muscles, it temporarily paralyzes or relaxes those muscles
- 2This reduction in muscle activity helps to smooth out the skin above them, reducing the appearance of dynamic wrinkles
- 3Dynamic wrinkles are wrinkles that form from repetitive facial movements, such as smiling, frowning, or squinting
Benefits
- ✓Wrinkle Reduction: Smooths out fine lines and wrinkles on the forehead, around the eyes (crow's feet), and between the eyebrows (frown lines)
- ✓Youthful Appearance: Helps achieve a more refreshed and youthful look by relaxing the muscles that cause wrinkles
- ✓Non-Invasive: Provides a non-surgical option for facial rejuvenation with minimal downtime
- ✓Quick Procedure: Treatments take just 10-15 minutes, allowing for easy integration into busy schedules
- ✓Quick Results: Noticeable improvements can be seen within a few days, with full results developing over one to two weeks
