Botox Cosmetic®

Botox is the most popular cosmetic medical procedure of all time.  To date there have been more than 5,000,000 people successfully injected with Botox Cosmetic®.

Botox Cosmetic® works best on dynamic wrinkles or folds that are caused by muscle movement.  When you raise your eyebrows, frown, smile or scrunch your facial muscles you cause dynamic movement that creates wrinkles. Even lip lines are partially caused by muscle movement.  Botox Cosmetic® will minimize your ability to move muscles thereby reducing the look of dynamic wrinkles.  It has been used for treatment of the glabellar (?11?) lines between the brows, crows-feet, forehead lines, lip lines, wrinkled chins, neck bands, excessive sweating in the axilla, hands and feet, plus a multitude of medical applications from headaches to cerebal palsy for years.

Botox Cosmetic® is a series of tiny injections to the area where the movement/wrinkles occur.  Treatments take only a few minutes out of your day and are performed in the office with topical anesthesia, ice or cold air for ultimate comfort.  Results will become visible in about a week and last for 3-6 months for most people. 

While Botox Cosmetic® is an FDA approved substance; there have been other forms of botulinum toxin imported into the country that can cause severe health issues. It is recommended that injections be performed in a licensed medical facility by an experienced physician or nurse injector for your safety and to guarantee you get what you pay for!

Botox Cosmetic® can be combined with fillers for an ever better, longer lasting result is areas where you have deep skin folds due to volume loss. 

Dr. Z is a ?Preferred Provider?-recommended by Allergan who makes Botox®.  He has trained numerous physicians and nurses to inject this product and even authored 2 chapters on its use.
