Botox
Botulinum toxin (BTX-A), commonly known as 'botox' is a medication and a neurotoxic protein produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. It is sometimes used in very small doses to treat muscle spasm and is now frequently used in various settings for cosmetic procedures.
 The benefits of Botox injections that have made them a popular cosmetic treatment include:
· Giving the face a younger appearance.
· Removing wrinkles especially prevalent in the area around the eyes.
· Weakening the muscles responsible for squinting and crinkling of the eye area.
· Reducing / eliminating crow’s feet and wrinkles caused by smiling, laughing, and frowning.
· Jaw contouring for patients with oversized masseter muscles (the muscles of the jaw used for chewing)
Although the bone structure is not changed, the reduction of muscle thickness refines the angle of the patient’s jaw. Botox injections are not limited to treating wrinkles. Botox is also used for several non-cosmetic treatments, including preventing eyes from twitching, migraine headaches, excessive sweating and the reduction of chronic back pain and jaw tension.
Try Botox, you have nothing to lose but your wrinkles!
