Wrinkles ... who wants them?

Every time you smile, laugh or frown the contractions of the delicate underlying facial muscles form wrinkles. Facial wrinkles give a person an angry, tired or sad appearance - even when they are not experiencing that emotion. The more emotion you show, the deeper these wrinkles and lines are likely to be. Now you can prevent their formation with a form of botulinum toxin called Botox Cosmetic.

How does Botox Cosmetic work?

Botox Cosmetic blocks impulses from the nerve to the tiny facial muscles that are related to expression lines. Botox Cosmetic relaxes the muscles so they do not contract. After treatment, the overlying skin remains smooth and unwrinkled, while the untreated facial muscles contract in a normal fashion, allowing normal facial expression to be unaffected.

What is the treatment like?

 Using a tiny micro-needle, a very small amount of Botox Cosmetic is injected, very precisely, into several locations on the face. Because the needle is so fine and only a small amount of liquid is used, the pain associated with the treatment is minimal. Most patients compare the sensation to a bug bite.  You can resume normal activities immediately. You can even drive yourself home or back to the office.

What results can I expect?

In 3-4 days there's a noticeable improvement in moderate to severe frown lines between the brows, crow's feet and forehead lines which can last up to 4-6 months.   With repeat treatments results can last longer.
