Botox
 A Botox®
(Botulinum Toxin) Cosmetic treatment is a simple, non-surgical procedure to
treat the glabellar frown lines (wrinkles between the eyebrows), wrinkles in
upper forehead, upper lip and crow’s feet. One ten-minute treatment a few
tiny injections relax the muscles that cause those lines to form. Botox®
Cosmetic has been FDA approved for the treatment of the glabellar frown
lines, though is not yet approved for treatment in forehead, upper lip and
crow’s feet wrinkles.
By using small doses injected directly into a specific muscle, only the
action of that specific muscle will be paralyzed. This very simple therapy
produces relaxation of the underlying muscle therefore eliminating the
appearance of stern, unhappy looks, which is produced by the gathering of
tissue between the upper eyebrows into a fold.
The weakening of the muscle begins in a few days, but maximal effect may take
as much as two weeks to achieve. The effects if Botox® last from 3 to 6
months, then the injection must be repeated.
Botox® has also been found to be beneficial for patients who have a problem
with increased sweating. This has been found to be an extremely safe and
effective treatment to stop seating in areas such as the palms and underarms
for as long as twelve months in some patients. The emotional aspect of
increased sweating is large and Botox® has really managed to help treat this
problem in patients.
Botox® can also be used in patients who suffer from migraine tension
headaches. The excessive contraction of the muscled of the forehead can
dramatically improve by relaxing the underlying muscles with these tiny
injections.
If doing all you can to look your best is important to you, Botox® Cosmetic
may be right for you.
If reducing those tough lines and wrinkles would make you feel more
approachable, Botox® Cosmetic may be right for you.
Thousands of appearance-conscious women and men have already discovered the
benefits of Botox®. Not just models and movie stars, but ordinary
people-teachers, mothers, and business people from all walks of life.
