BOTULINUM TOXIN

Clostridium botulinum bacteria produce neurotoxins, specifically botulinum toxin A, which temporarily block nerve impulses to the muscles causing paralysis of the muscle.

As a cosmetic procedure, this will temporarily smooth dynamic wrinkles and fine lines of the facial muscles.

 Common areas or conditions treated include:

 Frown lines, forehead furrows, crow’s feet, lip lines, dimpling of the chin, bunny lines, down-turned smile, gummy smile, neck bands, enlargement of jaw muscle (from teeth grinding).

 Typical results last from 3-5 months.

Botulinum toxin (Botox) brands include: Botox, Xeomin, Dysport, and Jeuveau
