Botox treatment is the most widely used non-surgical procedure in the United States. It can smooth facial wrinkles making crow’s feet, worry lines and laugh lines a thing of the past.
Over time muscles lose their elasticity and some muscles have trouble fully relaxing to their original state of rest. When facial muscles stay contracted they wrinkle the skin. These are referred to as dynamic wrinkle lines and all are treatable with this procedure.
Botox is placed into tiny facial muscles that create wrinkles. Therefore, allowing the muscles to relax and give your face a smoother, more youthful appearance.
Botox is the most widely known injectable used for this purpose. Ask us about our specials and which injectable is right for you. Scroll down the page to find frequently asked questions about Botox Cosmetic, its safety, and uses.
