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. It is accomplished by injecting small amounts of Botox® solution in the area of the wrinkles. 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 client, 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.
