BOTOX® Cosmetic
Facial expression lines are created by contractions of the underlying muscles pulling the skin together when you smile, laugh or frown. An injectible protein, called BOTOX® Cosmetic, stops nerve impulses from making the contractions. A minute quantity of the BOTOX® Cosmetic protein is injected into the wrinkle with a very tiny micro-needle. Following the treatment, your worry, frown or laugh lines will remain smooth. Normal facial expressions will not be affected. We call this the “Ideal Cosmetic Procedure” because it presents dramatic results, has no side effects and is non-invasive.
