Botox - Reduce the look of fine lines
Botox® is a popular procedure utilized to soften creases and wrinkles caused by loss of skin elasticity in areas of muscle contraction. Botox, which originates from the Clostridium Botulinum bacterium, works through “selective muscle denervation.” That is, it blocks select muscle receptors to, essentially, paralyze the muscles that cause wrinkling.

From an aesthetics perspective, Botox is most effective in the treatment of lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines), forehead furrows, crow’s feet and frown lines.

The visible effects of Botox are evident within 48 hours of administration, with maximum results achieved in five to 10 days. Botox is not permanent. Rather, in three to five months post-injection, new muscle receptor sites are developed and, thus, muscle contraction gradually resumes.
