Botox®
Cosmetic
Botox Cosmetic is a non-surgical treatment that can
help soften or eliminate facial lines. Botox is an important component
of a facial rejuvenation program. Botox works by relaxing the muscles
that cause wrinkles. Botox Cosmetic is a quick, non-invasive treatment
with no recovery or downtime. Within 3-7 days the wrinkles and lines
disappear. Botox can help maintain a youthful appearance and prevent
the formation of new or deeper wrinkles.
What is Botox?
Botox Cosmetic is a purified protein. This protein
is produced by the Clostridium Botulinum bacterium. The Botox protein
is administered in very low doses directly into the over-active
muscles with tiny injections. The Botox protein then prevents the
treated muscles from contracting and causing wrinkles.
How long does Botox last?
Botox can last anywhere from three to six months
in the areas treated. Repeat treatments are needed to maintain a
lasting result.
Where can Botox Cosmetic reduce my wrinkles?
Botox cosmetic can be used effectively in several
areas of the face. The areas most commonly treated include the area
between the brows or Glabella region, the forehead and the area
around the eyes also known as the Crow's feet. Each of these regions
develops wrinkles, furrows or creases due to aging and over active
muscles. Botox can help eliminate a tired appearance due to these
changes of the skin.
