Botox

What is Botox?

Botox, also known as Botulinum Toxin, is most commonly used to relax tight muscles that contribute to developing wrinkles and fine lines. Botox is a quick and relatively painless procedure that delivers almost instant results. We recommend utilizing Botox injections not only to reduce wrinkles but also as a preventative to wrinkles.

How does Botox treatment work?

Botox is applied by injecting the botulinum toxin into the targeted muscle. Botox injections penetrate into the muscle and paralyze it by blocking the signals from the nerves to the muscles. You do not need anesthesia or pain medication for Botox treatments, and the total process takes only a few minutes, depending on how many areas you’re targeting and how deep the wrinkles go. Upon your initial consultation our board-certified medical providers will determine the best plan of treatment for your specific needs. It’s generally recommended that you avoid alcohol, aspirin, and anti-inflammatory medications 1-2 weeks prior to your treatment.

What are the areas you can treat with Botox Injections?

Botox injections are most often used on forehead lines, crow’s feet (the lines on the outer edge of your eyes), “11s” (the lines between your eyebrows), and smile and frown lines. However, people have used Botox on many other different areas of their face as well. Although it is typically used to treat wrinkles, other uses for Botox include:

• Severe underarm sweating
• Lock jaw, teeth grinding, or TMJ
• Pebble or orange peel chin
• Lip flips
• Gummy smiles
• DAO’s
• Nose tips
• Platysmal bands
• Nefertiti neck
• Brow lift
