BOTOX®

Ho you have permanent furrows between your eyebrows, making you appear angry or frustrated? Or do you squint or raise your eyebrows a lot giving you deep, unsightly wrinkles on your forehead and crow’s feet? Would you like to lessen the severity of those wrinkles and have a rejuvenated appearance? Or perhaps you’re embarrassed by your hyperhidrosis (excessive underarm sweating) and would love to find some relief? BOTOX® can help.

Botox® injections, among the most-common medical cosmetic treatments performed each year, are given in small amounts to block the nerves that stimulate the muscles around your forehead and eyes or that activate your sweat glands, in essence “paralyzing” them. Not all the muscles of the forehead or crow’s feet areas will be completely paralyzed, so you will still have the ability to have some facial expressions and motion to help you keep a natural look. The effect is not permanent, however, so you will want to have regular treatments. Also, since BOTOX® does not completely eliminate your wrinkles, you may want to first consider another skin-resurfacing treatment (including chemical peels, or dermabrasion) to remove the deep lines and then use BOTOX® to prevent their recurrence.
