Botox

Ideal Treatment For:

Botox, the most recognized brand name for the purified protein Botulinum Toxin Type A, is a highly popular injectable used for both cosmetic and therapeutic applications. It works by temporarily blocking nerve signals to targeted muscles, thereby preventing them from contracting. Cosmetically, this effect is most often used to relax the facial muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles—such as frown lines, forehead creases, and crow's feet—resulting in a smoother, more youthful, and rested appearance. Beyond aesthetics, it is also clinically used to treat a variety of medical conditions, including chronic migraines, excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), and certain muscle spasms. The treatment is minimally invasive, typically takes only a few minutes, and its effects generally last for three to four months before a repeat session is needed to maintain results
