Botox

Are you concerned about fine lines and wrinkles on your forehead, between your eyes, or around your mouth? Let’s explore whether Botox might be the right option for you! Botox is a medication, specifically a neuromodulator, that works by reducing muscle contractions when injected. This muscle relaxation helps to soften and, in some cases, eliminate the fine lines and wrinkles in these areas. 

In addition to cosmetic uses, Botox can also treat a “gummy” smile, a pouty resting face, and excessive sweating in the armpits, palms, and soles of the feet. It is also effective for treating migraines or chronic headaches, urinary urgency in the bladder, and muscle spasms. 

Most people notice results within 5-7 days, and the effects typically last for 3-4 months. I use only the original Botox from Allergan, but other forms of this medication, such as Dysport, Xeomin, and Jeuveau, are available and provide reasonably similar results.
