Botox® (Coming Soon)

Botox is a cosmetic injectable treatment derived from botulinum toxin type A. It is commonly used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines by temporarily paralyzing the muscles that cause them.

Botox works by blocking signals from the nerves to the muscles, preventing them from contracting. This results in a temporary reduction in muscle activity, smoothing out wrinkles and lines on the skin.

Botox is commonly used to treat wrinkles and lines on the forehead, between the eyebrows (glabellar lines), and around the eyes (crow's feet). It can also be used to lift the eyebrows, reduce bunny lines on the nose, and soften the appearance of a gummy smile.

When administered by a trained and qualified medical professional, Botox is considered safe for most individuals. However, like any medical treatment, there are potential risks and side effects, which will be discussed during the consultation.

The effects of Botox typically last between 3 to 6 months, depending on the individual's metabolism and the treated area. To maintain the results, follow-up treatments are usually recommended.
