BOTOX cosmetic

Botox cosmetic is a revolutionary, non-surgical treatment that minimizes frown lines, forehead wrinkles and crow’s feet by relaxing the facial muscles that cause the wrinkles.

Botox is a purified protein produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacterium and is injected through a tiny needle into the skin. Botox is a very simple and safe procedure that has been used successfully for many years.

The result of Botox's treatment is a natural, more youthful expression and a smoother, more tranquil facial appearance. Both men and women can benefit from Botox treatments, no matter what their age, ethnicity or skin color.

How does Botox work?

A small amount of the product is injected into the desired treatment area, through a very thin needle, partially blocking the nerve impulses to the facial muscles. Botox paralyzes the muscles that cause expression lines to form.

The entire process takes approximately 15 minutes and requires no recovery time. There will be a slight reddening of the treated area for about two to six hours after the injection, but can easily be covered with makeup, if desired.

How long is its effect?

For most patients, initial Botox treatments, when used for wrinkles and expression lines, typically last 3 to 6 months. Additional treatments may have more lasting results, sometimes up to a year.

Botox's borders

Botox will not tighten skin that is sagging, or reduce wrinkles and lines that are the result of sun exposure, lack of moisture or are not muscle related. Such wrinkels can be smoothed by derma fillers.
