What is Botox?
Botox is an injectable that has been used for not only medical purposes but cosmetic services. Botox is a neuromodulator that, when injected into the muscles, helps in reducing muscle contractions. Over time, doctors realized one of the benefits this injectable was that it provided smoother skin. The lines and wrinkles of the face are reduced when Botox is used in the muscles of the face. These dynamic wrinkles can be erased entirely with the use of this injectable, which is what makes it a popular choice for patients who are not quite ready for surgery.
Why choose Botox?
Botox is formulated with botulinum toxin type A and is considered safe and effective for imperfections of the face, including wrinkles and folds caused by dynamic tension of the muscles. It is approved by the FDA for cosmetic and medical use and continues to be one of the most requested non-surgical treatments for aging skin. Botox is non-invasive, long-lasting, and an affordable option that doesn’t require patients to have their skin cut or treated by a doctor. Patients with mild to moderate signs of aging may find that Botox is the best option for them, and are welcome to consult with our professionals about moving forward with treatment.
