Botox

Frown lines are the result of squinting eyebrows into a fold. These unattractive folds and furrows are caused by the repeated action of underlying muscles. Years of squinting and frowning tend to leave deep wrinkles in the skin between the eybrows, on the bridge of the nose, across the forehead, and at the corners of the eyes.  Frown lines may produce an angry look that can detract from a pleasant facial appearance. 

Dermatologic surgeons can now soften these wrinkles and lines by a simple injection of botulinum toxin.

Botulinum Toxin Type A (Botox) is a purified substance derived from a bacteria that blocks the nerve signals from the brain to the muscle.  By injecting very tiny amounts into a specific facial muscle, only the impulse of that muscle will be blocked, causing a local relaxation and weakness. The FDA has granted approval to botulinum toxin type A (Botox) for the temporary improvement in the appearance of moderate to severe glabellar vertical lines, forehead lines, and crows feet in adult men and women 65 or younger. 

How quickly will I see results? Within 24 to 48 hours, you may notice a softening in the appearance of your lines. This may continue to improve for up to a month. 

How long can I expect my results to last? Personal results will vary, but some have been shown to last up to 4 months. 

Is treatment with Botox painful? Discomfort is usually minimal and brief.
