What Is Botox®?

Botox Benefits Botox® is a purified onabotulinumtoxinA protein that works by blocking overactive nerve impulses that trigger excessive muscle contractions. The effect is temporary and lasts from approximately three to ten months, depending on the individual patient and indication. Botox® therapy should only be administered by a trained and qualified physician. Botox® is also approved for many clinical indications and is currently being investigated for many other cosmetic and clinical uses.

How Does Botox® Work?

When Botox® is injected in small amounts into the appropriate muscle, it causes the muscle to relax and thus diminish or eliminate dynamic line or furrow. Botox® has been used for over a decade to treat ophthalmological disorders, and is fast becoming the chosen non-surgical treatment to reverse signs of aging. After treatment, a patient treated with Botox® can still frown and smile, but the expression wrinkles around the eyes and forehead are diminished when they do.

Do Botox® Results Look Natural?

Normal facial expression is unaffected. Correction with Botox® is very natural, and most patients treated feel that they have a more wide-eyed, rested and less angry look.
