What is BOTOX?

BOTOX is a very well-known cosmetic treatment that utilizes botulinum toxin. This substance has properties that can temporarily prevent unconscious muscle movements. It has long been used in the medical field as a solution for muscle pain and spasms. However, when it’s injected into the face, it can put a stop to the movements that are contributing to the formation of creases. As the muscles relax, wrinkles and fine lines become less prominent.  

Who is a Good Candidate for BOTOX?

As popular as BOTOX is, it is not for everyone. Individuals who have deep facial scarring, skin disorders, or certain neuromuscular diseases may not qualify for the treatment. Additionally, BOTOX is not recommended for anyone who is pregnant. You will need to thoroughly discuss your current health situation with our team so that we can make sure that you are able to have BOTOX performed without any issues.

If you are a potential candidate for BOTOX, then it can be an excellent way to address a wide variety of facial flaws. It’s commonly used to address lines on the forehead as well as crow’s feet. It can also help with fine lines that may have appeared at the corners of the mouth as well as between the eyebrows. Remember, BOTOX is best used for dynamic wrinkles (which are formed due to repetitive muscle movements) as opposed to static wrinkles (which appear as a result of a loss of collagen in the skin).
