Botox© Cosmetic Injections

Botox© Cosmetic is a popular choice for wrinkle treatment. Botox injections are used to temporarily paralyze the muscles under the skin that cause facial wrinkles, especially frown lines between the eyebrows and on the forehead, as well as the "crows feet" area. There are other innovative ways of using Botox including treatment of excessive armpit sweating. Botox wrinkle treatment can help you look younger and more relaxed without surgery.

The wrinkle-reducing effects of Botox injections are not permanent. Although results vary, they typically last for four to six months, and can be repeated as necessary. Botox is injected into the muscles under the skin with thin needles, causing the muscles that cause wrinkles and frown lines to become temporarily paralyzed. The injection process only takes about ten minutes, and most patients do not need anesthesia, although a topical anesthetic can be applied, if desired.
