Botox
Smooth wrinkles without the fear of a droop.
What is Botox?
Botox was originally developed as a medical treatment in the 1970s to help with eye spasms and muscle stiffness. Its cosmetic benefits were discovered by accident, when patients noticed their wrinkles smoothing out after treatment. It was officially FDA-approved for cosmetic use in 2002 and has become one of the most trusted treatments in aesthetic medicine.

Where Does Botox Treat?
How Does It Work?
A visit starts with goals, medical history, and a dynamic facial assessment. The skin is cleaned and injection points are planned. Treatment uses fine needles. Afterward you receive aftercare and can usually return to most daily activities.
About 10–15 minutes of injection time; first visits often 45–60 minutes including consult.
