Lines and Wrinkle Reduction
The first signs of aging are usually fine lines and wrinkles around the forehead, eyes, cheeks, and lips. Most people develop at least a few wrinkles with age, but in some people, the wrinkles are noticeable, making them look older than they feel. If you have begun to notice some facial wrinkles and feel like they don’t represent the way you feel, then Botox might be a great option for you!
Botox is the most popular non-surgical cosmetic treatment in the country! More than 7 million people have Botox cosmetic procedures performed in the United States each year. Botox is a treatment that can reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles and fine lines. It is a safe, effective, minimally-invasive procedure that is FDA-approved for the treatment of frown lines between the eyebrows, forehead, and crow’s feet at the corners of the eyes.

The use of Botox® can help significantly reduce signs of aging through the softening of facial lines and the relaxation of facial muscles. Botox is especially beneficial in reducing the unwanted lines on the upper half of the face, such as the “frown lines”, “crows’ feet”(around the eyes) and on the forehead. The benefits from a single Botox treatment can typically last for several months. While not as well known, Botox treatments can also be very effective for treating other conditions, such as excessive sweating in the underarms, palms and soles.
Wrinkle Prevention: How Does Botox Work?
Botox works by relaxing the underlying muscles in specific areas of the face. In the hands of a trained injector, they can specifically target parts of the face to allow for smaller, less noticeable muscle contractions. This treatment of the underlying muscles leads to a “softening” effect on the skin, which responds to the muscle movement underneath. Simply put: Because you are not aggressively folding your skin on itself, again and again, the lines begin to disappear as your skin has the ability to renew itself on a smoother surface, which leads to an overall improvement of the fine lines and wrinkles.
