BOTOX... The secret of facial rejuvenation

A Botox injection is intended to immobilize selected muscles of facial expression, smoothing deep expression lines and furrows, especially around the forehead and eye area.

BOTOX® Cosmetic (botulinum toxin type A) is a purified protein that smoothes the muscles by blocking nerve impulses

It begins with a large uniform molecular structure, 900-kD size, with protective accessory proteins

With a few tiny injections, BOTOX® Cosmetic blocks the release of acetylcholine, the chemical that causes muscles to contract

With less movement, the skin surface gradually smoothes out and the lines begin to fade.

What should you expect

A simple, 10 to 15 minute procedure consisting of few small injections, a cold pack or anesthetic cream will be used.

Minimal and brief discomfort

There may be slight temporary bruising at the injection area;

This will be easily covered up with special makeup before you leave our clinic!
