What is BOTOX?

BOTOX is a prescription medication made as a derivative of the botulinum molecule. It has multiple uses for both cosmetic and therapeutic concerns and can be completely customized to the individual.

When BOTOX is injected into the treated area, it blocks the signals that are sent by the nerves to the muscles. As a result, the muscle contractions are relaxed, smoothing visible signs of aging around the eyes and forehead.

What is Botox Used For?

Botox has both cosmetic and medical applications:

Cosmetic: Reduces the appearance of facial wrinkles, such as frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead creases, by relaxing the muscles that cause them.

Medical:  Chronic Migraine: Helps to prevent chronic migraines by injecting it around the head and neck to reduce the frequency and severity of attacks.

A topical numbing cream may be applied to reduce any discomfort from the tiny needles.
