Stop Frowning!

Botox injections are considered to be a convenient alternative to surgery for frown and forehead wrinkles, as well as laughter lines around the eyes.

Botox is derived from Botulinum Toxin, which is deactivated in the laboratory (similar to vaccinations). It has been safely used for many decades in conventional medicine around the world. The effects of Botox injections are never permanent and will only last for a few months.

Unlike dermal fillers, which are designed to fill in wrinkles with the special gel, Botox works by temporarily freezing or relaxing the muscles around the site of the injections. It also to break the habit of frowing.

As a result of Botox treatment, your wrinkles will look softer. You will not be able to frown for about 5 months, and your face will have a smoother, more rested appearance.

The procedure takes about half an hour and you can return to work immediately. Benefits of Botox are noticeable within 5 days of the treatment and last for about 6 months. After that period, the procedure can be repeated, if you wish to do so.

If your forehead wrinkles are visible even when you are not frowning, or when raising your eyebrows, the best results can be achieved by combining Botox injections with dermal fillers (Restylane).
