What is Botox®’?
Botox® is the pharmaceutical company Allergan's Brand Name for their "Botulinum Toxin A" product. There are other brands now available, but the treatment often still gets referred to by the original brand name.
What is Botulinum Toxin A?
Botulinum Toxin is a naturally occurring protein that relaxes the muscles of the face, and consequently over time, because the skin isn't being pulled, it smoothes out wrinkles. Botulinum toxin has been widely and safely used in both medical and aesthetic practice for several decades.
Not only can Dr. Stephanie and Dr. David administer the original Botox® brand, but with years of experience, they can easily interchange toxins (Letybo® Bocouture® Nuceiva®, Azzalure® & Relfydesse®) so, they can perfectly tailor your treatment.
What will Anti-Wrinkle Injections involve?
The treatment involves making a series of small injections into the muscles of your face. The injection process itself only take several minutes. This is the treatment of choice for people with forehead lines, frown lines or wrinkles around their eyes that they wish to diminish.
But is is also commonly used to relax muscles of the lower face such as lip lines (Obicularis Oris muscle), a "sad mouth" (DAO muscle), the pull from the jowls (platysma muscle), face slimming (enlarged master muscles) and necklace lines.
....This is why knowing your anatomy matters! Once toxin is injected you can adjust- but you can't take it out!
