BOTOX
BOTOX® a safe and proven way to take years off your face.
In a 15 Minute procedure you can look younger.
BOTOX® was originally developed as a muscle relaxant for use in the treatment of medical conditions associated with muscular spasms, but the cosmetic benefits of BOTOX® quickly became apparent. It is now firmly established as a safe and effective method of reducing the signs of ageing. It has been approved for cosmetic use by the FDA.
In a procedure that takes only a few minutes, Botulinum Toxin Type A is administered through an ultra-fine needle and temporarily relaxes the muscles that are the cause of wrinkles. As the lines soften and often completely disappear, the result is a more relaxed, youthful and healthy appearance.
BOTOX ® has also proved to be of great benefit to migraine sufferers, reducing both the number and severity of attacks and can be used to reduce under-arm perspiration by between 70% and 90%. This treatment typically lasts for about seven or eight months, but can last longer.
Frown lines, crow's feet, worry lines are the most popular areas of concern. These lines respond extremely well to Botulinum Toxin Type A. This substance relaxes the targeted muscles that cause wrinkles to develop. It prevents lines from deepening and new lines from developing.
As well as reducing wrinkles, these wrinkle injections take away the appearance of tiredness and create a new youthful and refreshed look.
