What is Botox®?
Botox® is the brand name for botulinum toxin type A, one of nature’s most potent blockers of the nerve impulses. Botulinum toxin was originally introduced for the safe and effective treatment of muscle spasms. In patients treated for facial spasm it was noted that wrinkling decreased over the treated muscle.

This discovery lead to the development of botulinum toxin for the treatment of facial wrinkles.

What Botox® can do for you
If you’ve always wanted to minimize those stubborn wrinkles around your eyes or those persistent forehead lines, Botox® is for you. Botox® is a quick, minimally invasive procedure that requires little downtime. Botox® injections produce the best results on the upper third of the face. The most commonly treated areas are the forehead, around the eyes and between the eyebrows. With Botox® injections, “crow’s feet” can be softened; the furrow between the brows can be diminished; and forehead wrinkles can be lessened. Frown line creases (below the mouth and chin) may also be improved with Botox® injections, but response here varies among individuals. A complimentary consultation will determine the best treatment plan to achieve your cosmetic enhancement goals.

A safe and highly effective procedure
Botox® injections have been widely used for muscle spasms for over 20 years and for cosmetic purposes for over a decade. The injections have been enthusiastically endorsed by those who have used them. It is virtually impossible to get botulism poisoning from Botox® injections. Botox® does not remain in your body indefinitely.
