Botox® treatments
BOTOX® is the trade name for an FDA approved injectable agent that has been used cosmetic dermatology. It is widely accepted as one of the most popular of treatments for the management of lines and wrinkles, that are caused by the facial muscles that contract during facial expressions such as smiling, frowning, and squinting.
Explaining Botox
- Botox is extremely effective for treating deep creases found between the eyebrows, forehead wrinkles, and crow’s feet.
- A common misconception is that these dynamic wrinkles are caused because we frown or scowl too much.
- The truth is that any facial expressions, whether happy or sad, will leave lines etched into our skin.
- Botox works by affecting the muscles of facial expression and not only lessen the appearance of wrinkles immediately.
- It also helps to prevent them from becoming more deeply etched into your face.
BOTOX® is one of the brand names for a purified protein produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacterium. It is a nonsurgical injectable filler, that is most safely administered under the supervision of a dermatologist. Treatment can temporarily reduce moderate to severe facial expression lines in people from 18 to 65 years of age. Botox is effective for use on many areas of the face, including around the eyes, smoker lines on the upper lip, under the nose, between the eyebrows, and on the forehead.
