Botox is the most popular medical aesthetic treatment in the world! Why? Because it works not only to treat existing facial lines, but it also can help 
prevent lines from appearing on the surface of the skin. Botox is a wonderful addition to any anti-aging skin care regimen.
Who should get Botox?
Botox Cosmetic is great for anyone who is concerned about the appearance of lines on the face. These lines can be just beginning, or lines that have been there for a long time. Males and females, “old” or “young” injectables and Botox can be beneficial to almost all skin savvy adults.
What does Botox do?
Botox works by temporarily inhibiting muscle movement in the muscles that are injected. When these muscles are treated they lose some of their strength and cannot move with as much force. This allows the muscle, and the skin attached to the muscle, to relax This relaxation leads to a softer, less lined appearance.
Where can Botox be used?
The most common areas for treatment with Botox cosmetic are:
1. The forehead
2. The glabella (the area between the eyebrows – often called the 11’s)
3. The crow’s feet (lines around the eyes that show upon smiling)
Botox is used to help patients with migraines, TMJ disorder and hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) and is very effective at alleviating symptoms caused by these conditions.
We use Botox in other areas as well depending on the individual needs of the client – lip area, chin, neck, brows, etc.
How long does Botox last?
The average person will see results from Botox last 3-4 months with proper treatment. So, plan on treatment 3 to 4 times per year for best results.
What are the possible complications from Botox?
Luckily Botox Cosmetic complications are few and far between. Occasionally we can see a heavy eyebrow from Botox in the forehead. Bruising is a possibility, but should be extremely rare. There are other complications that are possible but infrequent. Please feel free to contact us with any questions.
How soon will I see results from Botox?
Results from treatment with Botox can take anywhere from 2 to 14 days to be evident. The average client sees results in about 1 week.
What is the cost of treatment with Botox?

Will Botox look weird or unnatural?
It doesn’t have to! You can absolutely use Botox and have beautiful and natural results.
