What is Botox®?
Botox®, clinically known as Botulinim Toxin Type A, was approved by the Food and Drug Administration for cosmetic use in 2002. It is used to correct the signs of aging by rendering the muscles that form wrinkles in the skin useless. When the muscles relax, wrinkles caused by the muscles usual contraction fade. Botox® is most commonly used to eliminate problem areas such as crow's feet, frown lines, and forehead furrows. |

What to expect?
To treat problem areas, Botox® is injected into the facial tissue
with a very small needle. It is a simple and relatively painless procedure.
There is no downtime and patients can immediately return to their
regular schedule. Botox® patients may require two to four procedures
a year to maintain their youthful results.
Botox® has quickly become a safe and popular non-surgical cosmetic
treatment that helps maintain a healthy and youthful appearance. |
