Habitual frowning can leave permanent lines on your face causing you to appear more angry or tense than you actually are. Botox Cosmetic® is an intramuscular injection derived from a purified protein which relaxes the muscles which cause wrinkles. Regular use of this simple treatment will effectively "stop the clock" on the development of further deepening of lines and will soften the lines which make you look tired, tense or angry.

One 15 to 20 minute treatment usually takes effect after several days and maintains that relaxed look for between 3-4 months. You can expect to resume your normal activities immediately because there is no sedation or local anesthetic required, and hence, no down time. Some patients may experience a slight temporary bruising at the injection site, which can be easily covered up with make-up.

In addition to its use for cosmetic purposes, Botox Cosmetic® has been used for over a decade to treat a variety of medical conditions including: cerebral palsy in children as young as two years, adult spasticity, movement disorders, and hyperhydrosis (excessive sweating).

Botox® is a proven treatment option for severe underarm sweating when antiperspirants fail. A small amount of Botox® is simply injected into the affected underarm through a very fine needle. Most patients notice a significant reduction in underarm sweating within 4 weeks and the effects of this treatment last up to 7 months. Many insurance plans will cover the cost of this procedure, so ask about your free consultation today.

More than two million people have already used Botox Cosmetic®, making it the fastest growing cosmetic procedure in North America.
