Botox® is the most popular cosmetic procedure performed in America today. Botox® consists of a purified protein which, when injected, relaxes the muscles in an area for a significant period of time. It is frequently used between the eyebrows to prevent scowling, in the forehead to prevent furrowing and the temple areas outside the eyes to prevent "crow's feet".
Botox® is a relatively safe procedure. Occasional side effects do occur. Botox® lasts two to four months, or longer if used consistently over a period of years, especially if re-injected before full motion resumes. Interestingly, Botox® is found to alleviate migraine headaches when injected between the eyebrows. DYSPORT® is a product recently released and is similar to Botox®.
*Aging skin and wrinkles result from a combination of many factors. It’s not just about cellular changes, collagen depletion, hormone loss, or damage caused by free radicals. The 11s – those vertical lines that appear between your brows – result from muscle contractions. When you concentrate, squint, or frown, the muscles between your brows contract, causing your skin to furrow and fold. After years of frequent contraction, those wrinkles can linger even after the muscles are at rest.
*BOTOX® Cosmetic works by blocking nerve impulses to the injected muscles. This reduces muscle activity that causes the persistent lines to form between the brows.
