BOTOX targets one of the underlying causes of frown lines and crow’s feet. The neurotoxin works beneath the skin’s surface and temporarily reduces repeated muscle contractions from frowning and squinting. You will begin to notice a visible smoothing of unwanted movement lines throughout the face. This will ultimately create a calm and relaxed appearance.

✔ More then 5 Years ExperienceBOTOX is approved by the FDA for cosmetic use to improve the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Facial expressions such as squinting, frowning, or smiling can cause wrinkles. Fortunately, injections of the botulinum toxin can be very effective in these areas as well. If your facial expressions are causing premature wrinkles to appear, or if you’re noticing the early signs of aging, BOTOX can be the perfect treatment for you.
BOTOX is also FDA approved for medical use. There are certain medical conditions, such as migraines, that BOTOX can be filed through your insurance. There are certain limitations to allow coverage, so please check with your individual insurance plan to see if BOTOX is an option for you.
The brain sends electrical messages to the muscles to promote muscle movement and contraction. This electrical message is transmitted by acetylcholine. BOTOX will block the release of this substance, preventing the muscles from receiving the message to contract. This means that muscle movements or muscle spasms that cause wrinkles are greatly reduced or stopped after the use of BOTOX .
BOTOX is an outpatient procedure.
BOTOX injections can be repeated indefinitely. However, if you’re taking certain medications or if you’re pregnant, you will not be eligible for this treatment.
The effects of treatment can be impacted with the use of certain antibiotics, other prescription medicine, or over-the-counter medicines that may interfere with neuromuscular transmission.
