Botox® - Cosmetic
Benefits/How It Works
Dramatically smoothes and reduces lines and wrinkles. Reduces frown lines, crows feet and forehead lines. Can also raise the brows, soften lines around the lips and neck and raise the corners of the mouth.
Repeated frowning and squinting encourages lines known as dynamic wrinkles. A tiny amount of Botox ® is injected into the muscles that create the wrinkles. This blocks nerve impulses from reaching that area, allowing the muscles to relax and the wrinkles to be smoothed away. Botox® utilizes a purified form of a natural protein which was first pioneered for cosmetic use in 1987.
