What is Botox?

Botox is a special neuromodulator formulated with botulinum toxin used to smooth lines, wrinkles, and folds across the face. This particular injectable has been used for many years, not only in aesthetics but in many fields of medicine. It works by reducing facial muscle contractions that lead to the development of fine lines and wrinkles, including forehead folds, frown lines, glabellar lines, and crow’s feet.

How is Botox used for aesthetic purposes?

Botox is more commonly used by our team to treat wrinkles and folds of the face. It can also be used to treat other conditions throughout the body for chronic headaches and migraines, excessive sweating, and even overactive bladders.

Who is a proper candidate for cosmetic Botox injections?

The best candidates for Botox are those with wrinkles or folds that are not too deep. Candidates should also be in good overall health and have no history of allergies to botulinum toxin.
