Botox Cosmetic is changing the face of cosmetic rejuvenation
Squint lines and frown lines can actually make one appear more stressed, tired and older looking than they actually are.
The good news is that you can now have a more youthful and refreshed look with Botox Cosmetic. This exciting option is a simple non-surgical way that dramatically smooths and reduce wrinkles in minutes. Some people call it the "lunchtime lift".
Some wrinkles are known as dynamic wrinkles, which are caused by repetitive muscular contractions such as frowning, squinting and brow furrowing.
BOTOX Cosmetic™ relaxes the muscles that cause lines and wrinkles.
A few drops of Botox are injected with a small syringe into the muscle, blocking the nerve impulse from reaching that area. As the muscle weakens, the wrinkles in the skin gradually soften and often disappear.
BOTOX Cosmetic™ is an intramuscular injection derived from a purified protein toxin, which reduces dynamic wrinkles by preventing the muscles from contracting.
BOTOX® is a purified protein that works by blocking overactive nerve impulses that trigger excessive muscle contractions or glandular activity. The effect is temporary and lasts from approximately one to six months, depending on the individual patient and indication.

Botox injections have been used safely and effectively for over ten years to treat many. Each year thousands of patients receive Botox treatments for a variety of conditions and it is quickly becoming a popular treatment for reversing the visible signs of aging.
