Why ?BOTOX®
Remove or reduce wrinkles caused by muscle contractions such
as "worry and frown lines", "crow's feet", and "laugh
lines."
Throughout history, people have looked for ways to achieve a younger,
more vibrant look by improving their facial appearance. A procedure
using Botulinum Toxin or ,
BOTOX® Cosmetic injection has been developed to treat the
aging face by removing wrinkles.
This procedure, sometimes referred to as cosmetic denervation, has been
widely used and is considered a safe, effective way of treating aging skin.
It is used to eliminate or reduce worry and frown lines, "crow's feet",
laugh lines, and other wrinkles almost anywhere on the face, sometimes called dynamic wrinkles.
The procedure works by physiologically weakening facial muscles beneath
the skin that are related to expression lines. The contractions of those
muscles result in wrinkles. BOTOX®
works by blocking the impulses
from the nerve to the facial muscles thereby relaxing them. The result is
that the pull of the underlying facial muscles relax causing the skin to
flatten. This results in a smooth, unwrinkled look.
BOTOX® works to soften
the "worry lines" of the lower forehead, between the eyes (glabella),
deep forehead creases, smile lines lateral to the eyes, and the vertical
"smoker's" creases of the upper lip. It is also very effective
in suppressing tension headaches and some types of migraine headaches. Other
uses are to control hemi-facial spasm and excessive sweating (underarm or
palms). BOTOX® is a registered trademark of
