Pasadena Botox Procedures

BOTOX, originally developed to control muscle spasms in the face, is now used as a non-surgical cosmetic treatment to relax musculature of certain areas of the face. BOTOX is a purified protein that temporarily weakens the muscles that cause wrinkles. Deep wrinkles around the eyes and forehead are softened creating a more youthful look with fewer lines and wrinkles. After treatment, the skin remains smooth and unwrinkled, while the untreated facial muscles contract in a normal fashion, allowing normal facial expression and feeling to be unaffected.

BOTOX is most commonly used to treat wrinkles in the forehead, frown lines between the eyes and the “crow’s feet” areas around the eyes. BOTOX has been widely tested and is now approved by the FDA for use on frown lines as well.The effects can last for up to four months and injections take about 15 minutes to administer, with very little or no bruising or swelling. There have been suggested additional benefits of Botox, which include relief from migraine headaches and extreme sweating.
