Botox® BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments are one of the greatest advancements yet in the safe treatment and prevention of facial wrinkles. BOTOX® Cosmetic is a protein produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. It works as a nerve impulse "blocker", binding to nerve endings and preventing the release of chemical transmitters that activate muscles.
BOTOX® Cosmetic injections are performed in the office in a matter of minutes utilizing extremely tiny needles. The full effect of the treatment is apparent within five days or less, and usually lasts three to six months. As time goes on, the treatments begin to last longer. The effect on forehead wrinkles, frown lines and crow's feet is remarkable — and BOTOX® Cosmetic can be used to elevate the drooping eyebrow as well! Best of all is the preventative action of BOTOX® Cosmetic against wrinkle formation. Since all the wrinkles mentioned above are the result of years and tears of frowns and smiles, the early treatment with BOTOX® Cosmetic could actually prevent these lines from ever appearing in the first place. BOTOX® Cosmetic can be used both before or after any cosmetic surgical procedure, or in conjunction with medical spa services.
