You may be a candidate for Botox® if you would like to treat facial wrinkles in the forehead, between the eyes and in the “crow’s feet” areas. Botox® works by weakening the muscles that cause facial expressions. Once the treated muscles are weakened, the pull of the muscle relaxes and the overlaying skin flattens. Botox® is utilized to enhance your appearance, and lessen the wrinkles in the upper part of your face.

Botox is freshly prepared on the day of injection. Once prepared the medication needs to be used within 12 hours as the potency diminishes with time. Small amounts of Botox® are injected into the facial muscles using a very tiny needle.
