How does the Botox Cosmetic Treatment work?

Botox is made from a bacterium found in many natural settings, including lakes and soil. As a facial cosmetic treatment, Botox injections block signals from the nerves that create winkles caused by muscle contractions.  Crow's feet, frown lines, and brow furrows are commonly treated effectively. 

Is Botox treatment right for me?
Let's be honest. Time takes its toll on everyone, and one of the signs of aging are wrinkles along the face. Lines and wrinkles become more noticeable as we age.  Botox injections are temporary solutions that may be repeated every few months. 

The Botox cosmetic treatment procedure.
The Botox procedure is simple, with no need for anesthesia, incisions, or an operating room.  I takes just a few minutes, with little preparation and no downtime afterward. The powder is diluted in saline and injected into tissue, with only minor discomfort. Botox usually takes full effect within a week and remains effective for up to four months.  Although wrinkles and lines return afterward, if further treatment is desired, clients soon find that creases and furrows appear less unsightly over time as the facial muscles become trained to relax. 

Is the treatment safe?
Botox cosmetic treatments have been applied by doctors for years. Of course there are some risk with any treatment, but Botox has proven highly effective with a very good safety record.
