A quick look at the miracle cure for facial lines and wrinkles
It happens to the best of us. One morning, you’re minding your business, getting ready for the day when your reflection in the mirror looks a bit…different. You’re still your gorgeous self, of course, but with a few more little reminders of a life full of laughter, frustration, joy, and deep thought. The lines on your forehead and by your eyes are a little deeper and more defined than you remember them ever being. If you are particularly bothered by these lines, there is something you can do about it! Botox is probably a word you’ve heard before, but what exactly is it?
What is Botox?
Botox is the brand name of the botulinum toxin injectable solution manufactured by Allergan . Botulinum toxin may sound a bit off putting, but is a very popular and considerably safe injection. In large doses, the toxin can be poisonous, but in small doses, as those administered during a cosmetic procedure, Botox is safe.
How does Botox work?
Many think Botox is a solution that works to fill in your lines and wrinkles, but this isn’t the case. Botox works to temporarily (for approximately 3-4 months) paralyze the forehead, glabella, and orbicularis oculi muscles. When you give these muscles a break, your body’s hardworking growth factors are better able to deploy and repair the tissue damage that presents as the tiny wrinkles and lines on your upper face.
How can I learn more about Botox and move forward?
Dr. Robey and her medical assistant, Kristen, are available to carry out a Botox consultation and perform the procedure Monday through Friday.
