Botox cosmetic helps to relax specific muscle groups in the forehead, between the eyes, around the eyes, lower face, lips and neck to help you look refreshed, rejuvenated and natural. When placed correctly, Botox cosmetic gives a nice lift to the eyes and can make you look younger. Magically you should not only look better, but also feel better and smoother. It is possible to achieve a brow lift and a neck lift with Botox cosmetic nonsurgically. Lip wrinkles can also be softened.*

Migraine and tension headache sufferers can also see great improvement in symptoms from Botox cosmetic. In fact, new studies confirm that it also helps improve your general mood and feeling of well being, in addition to helping patients suffering with depression.*

Hyperhidrosis or excessive sweating from the underarms, forehead, hands and feet is treated with Botox cosmetic with excellent efficacy. Treatments for sweating can last anywhere from 3-12 months. In some cases, sweating may be curbed longer term*.

What is Botox Cosmetic and how does Botox Cosmetic work?

Botox Cosmetic is a diluted form of Botulinum Toxin A. It is injected with tiny needles directly into the muscles that contribute to the formation of lines between the eyes (the famous 1’s, 11’s and 111’s), the horizontal forehead lines, the crow’s feet around the eyes, the marionette lines next to the chin, the dimpling of the chin itself, neck bands, lip lines, and any other unwanted contractions. See above for other benefits of Botox cosmetic. It works by blocking the release of the neurotransmitter Acetylcholine from the nerve endings. The effect typically lasts 3-4 months. Injection technique and artistry are crucial to getting the desired end results.
