EsthetixMD medical spa is a BOTOX® Top 500 provider, reflecting our experience with this simple, cost-effective, procedure that delivers dramatic wrinkle reduction. Worry lines, frown lines, laugh or smile lines, crow’s feet; these are all “dynamic” wrinkles caused from years of living and using facial muscles to show expression. Botox injections safely, effectively soften lines and reduce wrinkles. While it’s not magic, Botox can restore some youthfulness to your appearance.
BOTOX® is a purified protein with a 15-year history in the therapeutic treatment of a variety of medical conditions. Since 2002 it has been FDA-approved for cosmetic treatments. BOTOX® works in a different manner than dermal fillers. It inhibits the transmission of chemicals that cause muscle contraction. For example, it is used for chemical brow lifts by preventing the action of the muscles that push the brows down. Brows that are uneven can be balanced, as the muscles that lift the brow engage while others relax. BOTOX® is a successful treatment for
- Worry lines
- Frown lines
- Unbalanced brows
- Lines or wrinkles under the eyes
- Crows’ feet
- Eyelid twitching
- Low or heavy eyebrows (brow lift)
- “Bunny” lines on the nose
- Downturned mouth corners
- Vertical lip lines (in conjunction with fillers)
Treatment is quick, taking 30 minutes or less, and improvement is rapid, within days of your injection. Progressive improvement may be seen as the skin relaxes and becomes smoother. There is no downtime from this quick, simple treatment; you’ll resume normal activity immediately. Results last several months.
Your clinician may recommend BOTOX® injections as an adjunct to dermal filler treatment in order to reduce the contraction of certain muscles. The intent of prior injections is to prevent “creasing” of the dermal filler solution. The synergistic effect between BOTOX® and filler products often prolongs the results of treatment.
