Wrinkle Reducing Procedures
One of the most in-demand treatments, Botulinum Toxin Type A, simply called Botox®, is commonly used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines by temporarily relaxing facial muscles. BOTOX® is a natural, purified protein extracted from bacteria, and manufactured in sterile laboratory conditions.
What it Does ...
The procedure involves a series of small injections directly into the specific targeted facial muscles, such as those around the eyes (crow's feet), forehead (horizontal lines), and between the eyebrows (frown lines), to create a smoother and more youthful appearance.
Botox treatments are relatively quick, often taking around 10-15 minutes, and require minimal downtime, with most people resuming normal activities immediately after the procedure.
Results usually become noticeable within a few days to a week and can last for about 3-6 months, depending on individual factors such as metabolism and the specific area treated.
And Medical BOTOX® is…
Although the same protein is used, medical BOTOX® is used for therapeutic purposes to treat various medical conditions such as:
Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating)
Temporomandibular Joint Pain (TMJ) or bruxism (grinding & clenching of teeth)
Migraine headaches
Muscle spasms
Some types of urinary incontinence
The treatment is often covered by private insurance plans and the results last 6-12 months.
