Botox Cosmetic
Dynamic lines, or “expression lines”, are caused by contractions of facial muscles whenever an emotion is displayed. Botox® Cosmetic (onabotulinumtoxin A) is a neuromodulator used to relax these wrinkle-causing muscles. As a result, vertical frown lines, crow’s feet and horizontal forehead lines all smooth out, allowing you to have a more youthful, rested and pleasant appearance. Avoid further damage...
The best way to prevent wrinkles is not to wrinkle!
On-label, FDA approved Botox® Cosmetic use on four areas: frown lines, crow’s feet, forehead, and platysmal bands.
Off-label uses of Botox
We can use Botox® to create a Brow Lift and a Lip Flip; relax a gummy smile; soften bunny lines and DAOs. With micro droplets of Botox® (MicroTox) we can help relax static wrinkles (horizontal neck lines and vertical décolleté lines), and reduce hyperhydrosis (excessive sweating in forehead, underarms, and palms).
Masseters
Botox® can also be used to reduce the size of masseter muscles, resulting in an oval or heart facial shape. Reducing the tightness of masseters can help lessen bruxism (teeth clenching or grinding) and diminish frequency and severity of migraine headaches.
DAOs
Botox® can be used to relax the chin medallion and soften the DAOs (depressor anguli oris) muscles to help repair the pebbled chin appearance and the downturned smile.
