You’ve heard all about Botox®. You’ve seen the incredible before and after pictures; you probably have many friends or family members who regularly get Botox® injections on their face. But did you know that Botox® cosmetic is the only FDA approved treatment to improve the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines between the brows and crow’s feet lines? Botox® is non-surgical, safe, effective and relatively inexpensive. Since 2002, approximately 10.9 million vials of Botox® cosmetic, a purified protein extract, has been sold in the U.S. alone.

As we age, our bodies’ production of collagen and elastin rapidly decreases. Without these proteins, which are crucial for youthful, healthy looking and glowing skin, our facial skin loses its elasticity and starts to sag, leading to stubborn wrinkles that quickly age us and cause us to look much older than we feel. When injected, Botox® suspends muscle movement in the treatment area temporarily, therefore smoothing out the overlying wrinkles. Botox® can also be used in off label sites such as muscle cords or bands in the neck. Just after your first treatment of Botox® you, will find your skin visibly smoother and youthful looking once again.

Botox® injectable treatment is a quick, in-office procedure that does not require any downtime, so undergoing the procedure at lunch can means you can return to work right after. One Botox® treatment typically lasts about four months.
