BOTOX® Cosmetic Treatments

What is BOTOX®?

"It's not just for celebrities, it's for people like you and me". A non-surgical, physician-administered treatment that can temporarily reduce moderate to severe frown lines between the brows in people 18 to 65 years of age. The treatment is usually done in about 10 minutes, and no recovery time is needed. Results may vary.

How does BOTOX® work?

BOTOX® blocks the transmission of acetylcholine from the nerves to the muscle. Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter which send a message to the muscle telling it to contract or tense up. With the flow of acetylcholine blocked or significantly reduced, the muscle can no longer retract and it relaxes. As a result, the wrinkled areas smooth out and soften.
