Botox & FIllers
BOTOX® injections is one of the top non-surgical procedures performed each year for the cosmetic treatment of crow’s feet, frown lines and deep lines on the forehead. It was originally introduced in the 1980’s by ophthalmologists for the medical treatment of muscular spasms around the eye area, an application that is still used today.
BOTOX®
BOTOX is a toxin that blocks the release of acetylcholine, which triggers muscle contraction. Because it essentially paralyzes the affected muscles, dynamic wrinkles, those caused by muscle movement, are the type best treated with Botox.
How Does BOTOX Work?
Strategically placed injections of Botox contain a safe and purified form of botulinum toxin A. This blocks the nerve impulses that are sent to muscles, therefore weakening them to the point where they can not contract.
