BOTOX FOR WRINKLES

Botox is an excellent treatment for smile lines (crow's feet), frown lines, forehead creases and neck bands. It is safe, pain free, fast and effective. It is also a relatively inexpensive treatment for those concerns.

We have been providing Botox treatments since 1992 and has done thousands of Botox injections with no serious side effects.

Botox is a purified protein toxin produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacteria. Although Botox is injected, there have been no serious side effects. This is because, for the treatment described, Botox is used in extremely small amounts and does not spread throughout the body.

A few drops of Botox are injected with a very tiny needle into muscles that create wrinkles. When Botox is injected into the muscle, it blocks the nerve impulse from reaching that area and as a result the muscle weakens. As the muscle weakens, the skin overlying the muscle relaxes and the wrinkles in the skin gradually soften and often disappear.

The effects of Botox injections usually last three to five months. After several treatments the effects of Botox may begin to last longer, sometimes up to six months.

Dr. Anderson particularly likes Botox for frown lines, forehead lines, smile lines, and neck band problems. Dr. Anderson is a recognized national and international experts in the use of Botox and have lectured and taught these procedures around the world.
