Patient Testimonials

“My frown lines and crows feet used to stand out so much. Twenty-four hours after my visit my wrinkles had softened and 3 days later my skin was smooth and relaxed. I feel 10 years younger and I feel no more tension in my face. This is wonderful!”

Botox facts

Botox provides an effective and simple 10-minute treatment for some facial lines and wrinkles. In April 2002, Botox gained FDA approval for treatment of moderate-to-severe frown lines between the eyebrows - called glabellar lines. However, Botox is often used for other areas of the face as well.

How does Botox® work

Wrinkles may be caused when a muscle tightens. Botox blocks signals from the nerves to the muscles. A doctor trained in the use of Botox will inject small amounts of Botox through the skin into the muscle through the skin to keep the muscle from tightening. The injected muscle can no longer contract, which causes the wrinkles to relax and soften. It is most often used on forehead lines, crow's feet (lines around the eye) and frown lines. Only the treated muscle can't move. Wrinkles caused by sun damage and gravity will not respond to Botox.
