THE BEAUTY OF BOTOX

Years of laughing, smiling, frowning, and raising your eyebrows can take a toll on your appearance.  Suddenly you notice Crow’s Feet, Brow Furrows, and Forehead Wrinkles that take away from your youthful appearance.  While you may not be ready for full cosmetic surgery, there is a simple cosmetic procedure that can reduce or eliminate these bothersome wrinkles.  Botox is the trade name for Botulinum Toxin, Type A.  This purified protein, when used in small amounts, is safe and effective for treating unwanted wrinkles and fine lines.

Men and women alike are taking advantage of this revolutionary non-surgical wrinkle treatment.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Crow’s Feet, Frown Lines, and Brow Furrows are caused by the contraction of muscles underneath the skin.  In order to reduce these wrinkles, the muscle must be prohibited from contracting.  Botox, when injected, relaxes the muscles and no longer allows them to contract.  The result is a smooth winkle-free appearance that gives your face a refreshed and relaxed look.

IS IT SAFE?

Botox has been used since 1980 by ophthalmologists for the treatment of blepharospasms, or uncontrolled blinking and twitching of the eyes.  Patients who suffer from blepharospasms are often unable to function well enough to drive, watch movies, play sports, or read.  Once Botox was injected into the muscle, the spasms stopped, allowing normal blinking functions.  An unexpected side-effect was the reduction of the fine lines and wrinkles.

Botox has been used for wrinkle reduction since 1989.  A major study of the technique was completed in 1995 and the review was published in The Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology.  The use of Botox in beauty enhancements is now widely accepted and used by ophthalmologists around the world.

HOW LONG WILL IT LAST?

Botox treatments usually last from 3 to 6 months.  Studies have indicated that the more often you have the injections the longer the effects last between treatments.
