BOTOX®
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a purified protein that has the capability of preventing unwanted muscle action. In it’s pure form it is a toxin, but for cosmetic use it is a safe, highly-diluted injectable solution that relaxes muscles.
The way BOTOX® Cosmetic works is similar to the idea of putting a cut-off switch between an electrical cord and a lamp. Electrical energy must reach the lamp before the light comes on. Muscles work the same way by receiving signals from the nerves. If you’re angry, your nerves signal your frown muscles to contract.
BOTOX® Cosmetic simply stops that signal from getting through by acting as a cut-off switch.
Many people have habits of frowning they are unaware of. This causes a perpetual tense or angry look. People may ask what you are worried about or mad about when you are neither. By using BOTOX® Cosmetic to stop that “worry signal” from getting through, you lose the frown and the worry lines.
WHAT IS BOTOX®？
Botox Cosmetic is an injectable wrinkle muscle relaxer. It uses botulinum toxin type A, specifically OnabotulinumtoxinA, to temporarily paralyze muscle. This reduces the appearance of facial wrinkles.
A Botox treatment is minimally invasive. It’s considered a safe, effective treatment for fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes. It can also be used on the forehead between the eyes.
WILL MY FACE LOOK OVERDONE OR UNNATURAL?
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a technique-sensitive treatment. You can trust BOTOX® Cosmetic to deliver subtle results when you are treated by someone who is licensed, trained, and a medical expert in facial anatomy. So you’ll look like yourself—only with less noticeable lines. No one should be able to tell you’ve had anything done.
HOW MANY INJECTIONS WILL I RECEIVE?
Treatment with BOTOX® Cosmetic is customized to your goals and needs. When you meet with your specialist, he or she will determine the appropriate treatment for any areas you wish to address, including moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet and forehead lines.
