What is Botox?
Botox is one of the most popular choices for diminishing wrinkles and fine lines on face. Botox is safe, effective, and has been FDA-approved for over 20 years! It has been utilized as a safe alternative to plastic surgery but more recently it is often used as an accompaniment to plastic surgery.
Botox Cosmetic is formulated using botulinum toxin type A; specifically known as OnabotulinumtoxinA. This medication is injected into targeted facial muscles responsible for creating lines and wrinkles. Botox Cosmetic blocks nerve conduction at injection sites thereby inhibiting muscle contraction and resulting in a softening of dynamic lines–lines caused by muscle movement. Over time, skin over treated muscles becomes smoother. Together these subtle changes create a naturally refreshed and rejuvenated look.
