How does it work?
BOTOX safely reduces the activity of muscles, relaxing the skin and erasing the fold-line wrinkles. This look is achieved by injecting small doses into specific muscles, which creates a natural softening of unwanted lines and wrinkles without removing your facial expressions.
Who should perform injections?
Injectable fillers and BOTOX are best administered by a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon who understands skin issues and has knowledge of molecular anatomy. If BOTOX is not injected properly, one can lose the action of muscles of expression.
What is BOTOX?
BOTOX, by Allergan, is a purified protein made from a bacterium called “clostridium botulinum Type A.” BOTOX® has been used medically and cosmetically for more than 25 years and, when used correctly, is one of the safest cosmetic treatments performed today.
What results can I expect?

How many units will I need?
Although many facilities provide pricing per unit, the number of units you will need is dependent on the area you wish to effect and your muscle strength.
