BOTOX

WHAT DOES BOTOX DO?
Botox helps improve the appearance of “worry lines”, frown lines”, “crow’s feet”, and other wrinkles. These “moving” wrinkles occur when we smile, laugh, or frown and the delicate muscles underlying the skin contract. When BOTOX© is injected into these muscles, it weakens them so they no longer contract and cause a wrinkle. The untreated facial muscles contract normally, allowing facial expression to be unaffected. Today the use of BOTOX© has emerged as an exciting new treatment for erasing the visible consequences of aging skin.

HOW IS BOTOX© PERFORMED?
BOTOX© is a simple and safe procedure. A small amount of BOTOX© is injected to the muscles affected to relax them. The treatment is well tolerated and there is no downtime. Foundation can be applied immediately afterwards. There will be no visible signs of your treatment. So call today to speak with our physician about BOTOX and to a more beautiful you.

Botox is currently being used and studied for many other uses than for wrinkle reduction.

EYEBROW FRAMING:
One of the most common uses by aesthetic physicians is to use BOTOX to help eyebrow framing. This is a technique using BOTOX around the eyes and eyebrows to help lift the eyebrows, producing wider set eyes, which is more pleasing. This can be done for patients with or without wrinkles.

AXILLARY HYPERHIDROSIS: (Excessive sweating of the underarms)
BOTOX has been studied extensively for excessive underarm sweating. It has recently gained acceptance by insurance as a treatment of choice. BOTOX can be used for people with excessive sweating or even for patient who just do not want to sweat. The procedure requires injecting BOTOX into the underarm. The results last for 9-12 months.
