BOTULINUM TOXIN

One of our most popular cosmetic treatments is BOTOX®. BOTOX® Cosmetic is the only approved treatment to temporarily improve the appearance of both moderate to severe frown lines, the space between the brows and crow’s feet lines in adults.
BOTOX® Cosmetic targets one of the underlying causes of frown lines and crow’s feet—the repeated muscle contractions from frowning and squinting over the years. Your specialist will inject these muscles with BOTOX® Cosmetic to temporarily reduce muscle activity. You will begin to notice a visible smoothing of your crow’s feet lines and frown lines between your brows.
