Botox® is a nonsurgical method of treatment to temporarily smooth moderate to severe frown lines in age’s 18- 65. It can last up to 4 months and takes about 10 minutes in the office. Botox® is a purified protein of the Clostridium botulinum bacteria, when injected reduces the activity of the muscles that cause the frown lines. It is also effective in reducing temporarily the wrinkles surrounding the eyes.

Done properly, facial expression is maintained, so a natural smoothing of the skin occurs without limiting facial expression.

Though it is not a permanent treatment of frown lines or wrinkle around the eyes, skin does have some remodeling during the time the muscle tone is weakened. This remodeling along with proper skin care can prolong the smooth texture of the skin. Complementing Botox® treatment with peels and skin care will have your skin looking and feeling healthier.
