| Just below the
surface of the skin is a network of delicate muscles that
contract and relax allowing us to make facial expressions. As we
age these facial expressions begin to produce permanent creases
often referred to as dynamic wrinkles. As these wrinkles deepen
with time they often lead to undesirable facial features, such
as a wrinkled forehead, wrinkles where your nose and forehead
meet or crows feet around the eyes. Such permanent facial
features often make us appear, unfriendly, older, annoyed or
irritated.
Botox offers us the ability to
remove these permanent facial expressions, leaving you with what
appears as a well rested, inviting facial expression.
FDA-approved Botox treatments involve injections just below the
surface of the skin into the delicate facial muscles causing the
wrinkles. The injected muscles relax, allowing the skin to lay
flat and unwrinkled. The treatments take only minutes to perform
and the full effects are usually noticeable within a few days. A
treated area will usually maintain this relaxed state for about
4 months, at which time the treatment can be repeated. The
longer a patient uses Botox, the longer the effect may last.
Botox, in use since 1980, can
also be used to treat excessive perspiration of the palms, feet
and underarms, as well as relief from tension headaches and
migraines. If you're experiencing one of these conditions or
have forehead lines, crow's feet, fine lines around your mouth,
horizontal or vertical neck lines, then Botox may be the answer
for you. You'll look younger and feel better about yourself.
