The cosmetic form of botulinum
toxin, often referred to as BOTOX, is a popular non-surgical injection that
reduces or temporarily removes frown lines, forehead wrinkles, crow's feet near
the eyes and thick bands in the neck. The toxin blocks nerve impulses,
temporarily paralyzing the muscles that cause wrinkles, while giving the skin a
softer, more refreshed look. Studies have also suggested that BOTOX is
effective in relieving migraine headaches, excessive sweating and muscle spasms
in the neck and eyes.
There is nothing new about worry
lines, frown lines, crow's feet or other wrinkles caused by smiling, laughing
or frowning and there is a very effective non-surgical way to treat them.
Botulinum Toxin (BOTOX) is the name of the product used for a variety of
medical conditions. It was discovered by accident almost 20 years ago. When
doctors were using to treat people with facial tics around the eyes they
realized that it also made their wrinkles improve. The treatment has been
approved for cosmetic use under the name of BOTOX. Using a micro-needle, Botulinum Toxin are injected into the
specific facial muscles. It relaxes those muscles and stops them forming lines
and wrinkles, resulting in a younger appearance.
The anti
aging treatment is virtually painless. However, it is not a permanent
resource; Periodic re-treatments are necessary to achieve lasting results.
This treatment is ideal for:
> Reduction of the frown line
> Migraine and Tension
Headache
> Hyperhidrosis (excessive
sweating)
Botox can also be used in
conjunction with cosmetic surgery, including a brow lift, face lift, eyelid
surgery and laser skin resurfacing to improve and maintain results for longer
periods of time.
