Botox Treatment
Botox treatment uses small, carefully placed injections of botulinum toxin to temporarily reduce activity in selected facial muscles. In cosmetic practice, it is commonly used to soften dynamic wrinkles—lines that become more noticeable when a person frowns, smiles, squints or raises the eyebrows. Botox® Cosmetic is a brand of onabotulinumtoxinA. Other botulinum toxin products also exist, but they are not identical and their potency units should not be considered interchangeable. Treatment should be individually planned according to facial anatomy, muscle strength, expression and the desired degree of movement reduction.
