Botox® Injections

The cosmetic form of botulinum toxin, often referred to by its product name Botox, is a popular non-surgical injection that temporarily reduces or eliminates frown lines, forehead creases, crows feet near the eyes and thick bands in the neck. The toxin blocks the nerve impulses, temporarily paralyzing the muscles that cause wrinkles while giving the skin a smoother, more refreshed appearance. Studies have also suggested that Botox is effective in relieving migraine headaches, excessive sweating and muscle spasms in the neck and eyes.

Why Botox?

Because non surgical injectables are a temporary but highly effective way to soften and smooth the look of moderate to severe frown lines in people from 18 to 65 years of age. With just one ten minute treatment, and just a few tiny injections, you can expect immediate results to last anywhere from 3-6 months. Botox^® and other injectables are far more cost effective and far less invasive that surgical procedures.

What is Botox?

Botox cosmetic is a purified protein produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacterium, which reduces the activity of the muscles that cause those frown lines between the brows over time. Botox has been used therapeutically for over 16 years to treat a variety of medical conditions including Hyperhidrosis(excessive sweating).
