What is Botox and how does it work?
Botox is a natural, purified protein produced by a bacteria called Clostridium Botulimum. When minute safe doses of Botox are injected into overactive facial muscles causing wrinkles, the transmission of nerve impulses to the muscle is blocked. This relaxes the muscle and allows the wrinkles to disappear or soften.
Botox requires no recovery
Botox Cosmetic is a simple, non surgical, no-downtime treatment. You can literally get your Botox and go back to work.
Botox does not affect other facial expressions, nor does it create numbness.
Botox is very precisely injected only into the specific muscles that create the wrinkles, leaving the muscles related to other facial expressions unaffected.
Botox is a very safe medication
Botox is so safe, it is even used in children. The key to the successful, safe medical use of Botox was the discovery that a very low does could safely treat overactive muscles.
How is Botox treatment performed and how does it work?
After I examine your face and determine how Botox can help you, I will discuss with you my treatment plan. A topical anesthetic will be applied. I will then inject a minute amount very precisely with a tiny needle into the muscles that cause your facial wrinkles. The finesse in treating with Botox lies the physician knowing exactly where to place the injection, how many units to administer on each site, the precision of the application, and the minimization of discomfort's have obtained that finesse through the years that I have been administering Botox.
