Botox

Facial movements can eventually lead to one of the most common signs of aging: wrinkles. They can make you appear tired or even angry when you are not. One of the quickest and safest remedies to remove wrinkles is an injection of botulinum toxin.

Botulinum toxin type A and botulinum toxin type B are both purified substances, derived from a bacteria. Injections of this substance blocks muscular nerve signals, which then weakens the muscle so that it can't contract and diminishes your unwanted facial wrinkles.

Botulinum toxin can be combined with other cosmetic skin procedures such as chemical peels, dermal fillers or microdermabrasion to further improve your results. This combination of therapies can even help to prevent the formation of new lines and wrinkles. Typically, botox cosmetic is used to correct the signs of aging visible on the upper third of the face. It is important that patients understand that Botox cosmetic is used to relax the facial muscles, therefore it is not a dermal filler and cannot be used to replete lost volume in other areas of the face.
