he fine lines and wrinkles on your face represent years of emotions — but if these lines are causing you to feel insecure, Botox is a non-invasive treatment that can treat mild to severe wrinkles.
Botox reverses the first signs of aging. This purified protein is injected into the muscles that cause wrinkles. It relaxes the muscles, giving your face a more refreshed appearance without sacrificing the natural movement of your face. Botox can also be used to perform a non-invasive brow lift, giving you a more vibrant, awake appearance.

What to expect
IN-TREATMENT
After meeting with your physician to determine your desired outcome, the procedure itself takes only 10 to 15 minutes. A tiny amount of BOTOX COSMETIC® is injected with a fine needle into the muscle being treated - this process is virtually painless.
What to expect
Post-treatment
Avoid rubbing or massaging the treated areas for 24 hours after treatment, cleanse your face gently that evening (do not rub), avoid make-up application for 4 hours following treatment, avoid excessive bending down, tiring physical exercise, or hot tub use on the day of treatment.
Medical Botox
botox migraine
Botox as a solution for chronic migraines was an accidental discovery— now it’s a holy grail for those dealing with the inconvenience and pain of recurring migraines. Migraines are typically accompanied with the unpleasant side effects of nauseousness, sensitivity to light, extreme fatigue, seeing spots and sensitivity to sound making it difficult for those suffering to carry through with their day. The Botox used to decrease the frequency of migraines is the same formula used for cosmetic purposes, but may be injected differently in the point of pain. As with other fillers, the injection is metabolized throughout the body so to remain effective injections must be repeated every few months.
