Botox is the first and only treatment FDA-approved to minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles caused by active facial expression. It’s the perfect cosmetic tool to treat and prevent formation of deep skin creases, without eliminating your beautiful smile, the sparkle in your eye, or the effect of your scowl.
Botox is classified as a neuromodulator, which temporarily prevents the contraction of muscles that create lines and wrinkles. Made from a solution of botulinum toxin type A, a purified and natural protein, Botox disrupts a nerve’s signal from reaching a muscle in the area treated. The resulting effect is smooth, firm skin that looks youthful but doesn’t create the “frozen” or over-treated look that patients associate with too much injectable treatment.
Botox is used to relax the muscles in the face to reduce moderate to deep wrinkles, as well as to prevent fine lines and wrinkles from forming. Ways you can use Botox include:
With Botox, you may begin to notice results within 24 to 48 hours, with full results in 30 days. Results last up to 4 months for moderate to severe frown lines. To maintain the effect of Botox, you will need regular follow-up injections. If you’re not in love with your treatment, we can always provide a small adjustment to get you where you want to be. Botox is an exceptionally safe injectable treatment as it does not accumulate in the soft tissue over time and after multiple injections.
