BOTOX® Cosmetic
The popular cosmetic procedure known as botox (bow-tox) is not only easy, but requires no surgery and is conducted by our trained and professional physician. Botox will temporarily smooth medium to severe frown lines between the brows in people from 18 to 65 years old. It is the only treatment of its type that has been approved by the FDA.
Why do people love botox so much? Well, by just having a handful of minor injections, people see major results within days. These results last months and the best part about it is, there’s no recovery time! It literally takes less than an hour!
What does botox consist of?
Botox is a purified protein produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacterium. Botox minimizes the activity of the muscles that cause people to get frown lines between the brows and other skin type wrinkles.
The Botox Procedure
- Your doctor will determine where to administer the injections by examining your ability to move certain muscles in your brow area. The location, size, and use of the muscles that create a furrowed brow vary markedly among individuals.
- Your doctor may numb the chosen areas with cream or a cold surface, but no anesthesia is required... There is very minimal discomfort and lasts seconds.
- Your doctor will conduct several small botox injections directly into the muscles that create your moderate to severe frown lines between the brows.
- Minutes later, you’re free to go… it’s really that simple!
