General Information:
Botox, our most popular treatment, is a 10-minute procedure that smoothes wrinkles and softens worry lines. It is approved by the FDA as a safe and effective treatment.

Most of us would like to look younger, but we do not have the time or the inclination to have cosmetic surgery. In recent years however, Botox treatment has gained popularity as a procedure that offers dramatic improvements without surgery or a long recovery period. Considering how safe and effective it is in treating facial wrinkles, it is no wonder that men and women are increasingly choosing botulinum toxin to combat the signs of aging

Frequently Asked Questions: Botulinum Toxin
What exactly is botulinum toxin?
It is a natural purified protein cultivated from the baceterium Clostridium botulinum. It relaxes overactive facial muscles that cause lines and wrinkles. Botox is the most commonly used form of botulinum toxin.

Where does the botulinum toxin protein go?
During treatment you receive minute doses of the Botox protein in specifically targeted muscles. It remains in the treated muscle and gradually gets metabolized without traveling throughout the body.

Is it safe?
Botox has been safely used to treat a variety of conditions for more than twenty years and has consistently been one of the top noninvasive cosmetic procedures performed in the United States. It is FDA-approved for the treatment of wrinkles.

What are the most common areas treated?
Frown and forehead lines, crow's feet, and eyebrow lifting.

When will I see the effects? How long does it last?
Effects are noticeable in two to three days and last approximately four months, after which lines gradually reappear.

Will it radically change my appearance?
You can expect a dramatic improvement in the appearance of your lines and wrinkles. Overall, you'll look more relaxed and refreshed but not like you've had work done.

What can I expect with a botulinum toxin treatment?
It is a 10-minute procedure consisting of a few tiny injections. No anesthesia is required and discomfort is minimal and brief. Most patients compare the sensation to a bug bite.
