Cosmetic Botox Specialist

What is Botox?

Botox is the top cosmetic injectable of its kind. It contains onabotulinum toxin A, a purified form of botulinum toxin that temporarily paralyzes muscles.

Botox treats moderate to severe facial wrinkles around the eyes and forehead by relaxing the muscles responsible for creating these common wrinkles. The injections can minimize wrinkles for up to four months.

While some people think you need to wait until you’re a certain age to get cosmetic injections, Botox can benefit men and women of all ages. People in their 20s and 30s may use Botox as a preventive measure, while older people can improve the look of even deep-set wrinkles. 

What cosmetic concerns can Botox fix?

Botox is FDA-approved to improve the look of moderate to severe lines and wrinkles, including:

• Frown lines
• Forehead lines
• Crow’s feet

Frown lines are the lines that appear between your eyebrows, and forehead lines are horizontal lines that develop on your mid to upper forehead. Crow’s feet are fine lines at the edges of your eyes.

All of these lines and wrinkles form over the years from repeated facial expressions. Skin creases when muscles below the surface contract as you smile, squint, or raise your eyebrows. Botox relaxes the muscles so that wrinkles fade from view.
