Benefits of Botox
The injectable neuromodulators featuring the protein known as Botulinum Toxin Type A (Brand name Botox®) are used as nonnvasive
means of rejuvenating the skin and minimizing the appearance of wrinkles, creases, and fine lines. Botox® functions by actively blocking the nerve impulses adjacent to the injection site, thereby preventing future muscle contraction in that area. Botulinum
toxin injections also serve a pre-emptive function, in that they prevent the formation of new wrinkles by impeding one’s ability to make the facial expressions responsible for wrinkle development

Are you ready to temporarily smooth the look of your moderate to severe crow’s feet, like Diane? Schedule a consultation with our practice to see if BOTOX® Cosmetic is right for you.
BOTOX® Cosmetic (onobotulinumtoxinA) is a prescription medicine that is injected into muscles and used to temporarily improve the look of moderate to severe forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines between the eyebrows in adults.
Talk to your doctor about BOTOX® Cosmetic and whether it’s right for you. There are risks with this product – the effects of BOTOX® Cosmetic may spread hours to weeks after injection causing serious symptoms. Alert your doctor right away as difficulty swallowing, speaking, breathing, eye problems or muscle weakness can be a sign of a life-threatening condition. Patients with these conditions before injection are at the highest risk. Side effects may include allergic reactions, neck and injection-site pain, fatigue and headache. Allergic reactions can include rash, welts, asthma symptoms, and dizziness. Don’t receive BOTOX® Cosmetic if there’s a skin infection. Tell your doctor your medical history, muscle or nerve conditions (including ALS/Lou Gehrig’s disease, myasthenia gravis, or Lambert Eaton syndrome), and medications, including botulinum toxins, as these may increase the risk of serious side effects.
