How Common Is BOTOX® Treatment?
BOTOX® Cosmetic is currently used by millions of patients. It is a simple, FDA approved non-surgical treatment that can temporarily smooth moderate to severe lines and wrinkles. Many wrinkles are actually creases that have been worn into the skin by making the same expression thousands of times. BOTOX® injections smooth wrinkles by safely and selectively blocking the muscle from contracting. As a result, the muscle relaxes, and the wrinkles gradually soften and disappear.
How Does BOTOX® Work?
BOTOX® Cosmetic has been researched and administered in the medical field for over twenty years. Approved for cosmetic use by the FDA in April 2002, it is used in minute quantities. BOTOX® Cosmetic is a sterile, purified protein which reduces the activity of the muscles that cause frown lines and crow’s feet to form over time. BOTOX® Cosmetic is also used for the treatment of excessive sweating, migraine headaches, neurological disorders, and for a lip flip to achieve the appearance of a fuller lip.
Below is an example of crows feet reduction two weeks after the treatment.
Does BOTOX® Have Other Uses?
Silk Touch Cosmetic Surgery, Lipo & Medspa is successfully using BOTOX® as an anti-aging treatment and medical treatment for migraines, hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating), eye brow lifts and lip flips.
A lip flip is an alternative treatment to dermal filler in achieving the appearance of a fuller lip. Botox is injected into the Cupid’s bow and in the corners of the mouth to relax the muscles around the lip. This causes the upper lip to “flip” outward. Unlike dermal fillers, a lip flip does not actually increase the size of the lip itself, but instead gives the lip a more prominent appearance. This treatment is great for individuals who have smiles that expose much of their gums.
