Botox works by blocking ACTH acetylcholine impulses that trigger hyperactive muscle contractions. It is a simple, nearly painless injection that can make a wold of difference in facial appearance. In a matter of a couple days there can be noticeable improvement, though we say to give it up to two weeks for the maximum effects to kick in. With botox injections there is no recovery time and you can resume normal activity right after your appointment! Botox Is injected into the muscles of the face to result in a frozen effect which in turn is what stops the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Botox is perfect for both men and women of all ages! If you are not sure about what areas are correct for you, our nurses perform consults before injecting anything! They will evaluate the size, location and shape of the muscles in the face to explain where you would experience the maximum benefit of the area you are looking to change.

Botox lasts for up to 4 months in each spot injecting, though it can range from location to location botox does completely dissolve so it is not permanent. Most patients get botox every three to six months. Though the effects of botox are not permanent, over time the muscles are being trained to be more relaxed which results in a less severe appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Forehead (Glabella): Botox injected into the forehead can soften the creases that can appear between the eyebrows and along the forehead when the eyebrows are raised.
