Botox

We were all born with smooth, baby soft skin. As frowning and smiling children, the muscles under our skin contract to display facial lines of emotion, signifying happiness or sadness. As soon as our emotions return to normal, our expression lines disappear.  But as we go through a lifetime of emotions and our skin begins to lose elasticity, some of the muscles of facial expression leave permanent wrinkles such as frown lines between the eyebrows, forehead lines, and crow's feet around the eyes. These lines can make us look angry, tired, or stressed, making us look older than we feel, and sending out an unintended message to others.

Turning back "the hands of time" has traditionally been considered to be cosmetic or for the sake of vanity. Today, a different attitude prevails. We all want to look as young and energetic as we feel. Several procedures are available to help you put your "best face" forward.

BOTOX Cosmetic injection is a revolutionary procedure that can reduce or eliminate wrinkles in the upper third of the face. BOTOX works by selectively weakening facial muscles beneath the skin that are responsible for unwanted expression lines. It works by blocking the impulses from facial nerves to these muscles, thereby relaxing them. The result is that facial muscles relax, causing the skin to flatten and take on a smooth, unwrinkled look. This is a simple, quick, minimally invasive treatment that delivers dramatic results. You can resume all your activities immediately after treatment.
