ABOUT BOTOX
Botox has been approved to treat safely certain conditions on ophthalmologic and neurologic conditions over several decades. In 2002, FDA approved Botox (Botulinum Toxin Type A) as the only treatment for the temporary reduction of moderate to severe forehead lines and wrinkles, frown lines and crow’s feet. Botox works by temporarily relaxing the facial muscles that are responsible for producing the wrinkling of the facial skin, thus producing the appearance of smoother and flatter skin.

Botox injections are customized for every patient, depending on his or her particular needs. These can be performed in areas involving the 
eyelid regions, forehead and neck. Botox cannot stop the processing of aging. It can, however, temporarily diminish the look of wrinkles 
caused by muscle group.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Botox blocks signals from the nerves to the muscles. The injected muscle can't contract. That makes the wrinkles relax and soften. Botox is most often used on forehead lines, crow's feet (lines around the eyes), and frown lines. Wrinkles caused by sun damage and gravity will not respond to Botox.
WHICH AREAS CAN BE TREATED WITH BOTOX?
* Botox Wrinkles - face and neck
* Botox Masseter, Trapezius Muscles - face, body
* Botox Sweat - palms, soles and underarms
WHAT TO EXPECT : RESULTS
Botox works beneath the skin surface and targets the underlying muscle activity that causes frown lines and crow’s feet. Injecting Botox into the muscles that cause frown lines temporarily reduces the activity of those muscles. The result is a reduction in the appearance of those lines. Botox temporarily reduces muscle activity. Patients will begin to notice a visible smoothing of the wrinkles on the treated areas.
