Say Goodbye to Wrinkles
Getting wrinkles is a natural part of the aging process, but oftentimes the lines that form on your face are caused by small, unconscious muscle contractions.

What Is BOTOX?
BOTOX is a medicine made from botulinum toxin. When injected into the muscles in your face, it blocks the chemical signals that cause them to contract. Since many wrinkles only form as a result of such contractions, temporarily paralyzing the muscles in this way can go a long way toward reducing fine lines on the face. The effects typically become noticeable after 5 – 10 days and last around 3 – 4 months, at which time the treatment can be repeated.
Who Is a Good Candidate for BOTOX?
If you feel self-conscious due to fine lines and wrinkles on your face, you might want to start thinking about BOTOX. The treatment tends to be more effective on dynamic wrinkles — wrinkles that form as a result of muscle movement — so it is typically recommended for fine lines that have formed around or between the eyes, on the forehead, or around the neck. We will need to confirm that you are not allergic to any ingredients in BOTOX and that you do not have any potentially complicating conditions before you move forward with the injections.
