Botox® is an injectable made by Allergan that improves the appearance of frown lines, forehead lines and crow's feet that result from age, stress and over active muscles. This natural, purified protein, injected in very low doses, relaxes the over active muscles that cause unwanted facial lines to form. Results last three to five months or longer if you follow recommendations for maintenance treatments.
Treatment is simple and non-surgical. A specified amount of Botox is injected into the skin in the areas to be treated. Botox has been used for more than 11 years to treat one million patients worldwide.

Botox has been proven as a safe and effective therapy and approved for cosmetic use by FDA.
There are minimal side effects associated with Botox injections, however some patients might experience slight swelling of the treated area. Following a Botox treatment, the area usually take about five to ten days to soften and the results last between three to five months, after which a repeat maintenance treatment should be performed. Over time, patients require less frequent visits as they break the habit of contracting frown lines and other muscles of facial expression. |
