BOTULINUM TOXIN (BOTOX)

Facial rejuvenation by injection with botulinum toxin (Botox) inhibits the action of the muscles that create certain expression lines through a process called denervation.

Botulinum toxin is a purified therapeutic agent used for facial rejuvenation, wrinkle reduction and softening of:

·        Frown lines, the horizontal crease or vertical wrinkles that develop between the eyebrows

·        Forehead furrows or creases that extend horizontally across the forehead

·        Crow’s feet or wrinkles that develop in the outer areas around the eyes

·        Cords in the neck (platysmal bands)
