What Can Botox Do For Me?

Posted in Video

Do your friends and family often ask you if you are tired or mad?  Do you look in the mirror and wish you could do something to decrease the wrinkles between your brows and around your eyes?  If so, Botox^® could be the answer you are looking for.

Botox Cosmetic is a prescription medicine used to treat the frown lines between the eyebrows.  It can also be used in the forehead and the outer corner of the eyes.  It works by blocking the nerve impulses to the injected muscles which weakens those muscles so that they no longer cause the persistent wrinkles.  Since Botox only works on the muscles and does not affect your skin color or texture, men and women of varying skin colors and skin types may get treatments.

Botox^® treatments are done in the office and usually take about ten to fifteen minutes. Discomfort is minimal. There is no down time following Botox^® injections and make-up can be reapplied immediately. Results are usually seen within one to three days but can continue to improve for up to one month.  Results can last up to four months.  Continued weakening of the muscles can lead to an increased softening of the skin wrinkles and a more refreshed look.   Of all the requested cosmetic procedures, Botox^® is number one in the United States for 2010.
