BOTOX

BOTOX Cosmetic and its related products, DYSPORT and XEOMIN, are nonsurgical treatments injected directly into the muscle to improve the look of moderate to severe wrinkles. Botox blocks signals from the nerves to the muscles. The injected muscle can't contract. That makes wrinkles relax and soften. Repeated muscle contractions from frowning, squinting, or raising eyebrows cause skin to furrow and fold, gradually resulting in the formation of facial lines.

BOTOX can help:

  • Frown Lines - Wrinkles between the eyebrows

  • Crow’s Feet - Wrinkles around the eyes

  • Forehead Lines - Horizontal creases in the forehead

  • TMJ Disorder

  • Gummy Smile

  • Neck Bands - Vertical lines on the neck

  • Bunny Lines - Horizontal lines at the bridge of the nose

  • Pebble Stone Chin - The dimplings that appear on your chin at rest or talking

  • Perioral Lines - Known as smokers lines, above the lip wrinkles

  • Hyperhydrosis - Severe sweating of the feet, hands and underarms

    After treatment, results appear within 3-14 days and can last up to 3 - 6 months and the treatment can be more effective and can last longer when done routinely as maintenance. Treatment time is usually 15-20min.
