Botox Treatment for Wrinkle Reduction and Youthful Looking Skin
Are crow’s feet, frown lines, and facial wrinkles getting you down? Do you feel like they are making you look and feel older than you really are? Botox Cosmetic may be the answer.
Most lines and wrinkles that form around the eyes are the result of repeated facial expressions that we use over the course of our lifetimes. With each smile, frown, or raised eyebrow, our facial muscles contract and create ever-deepening creases in the skin. As we age, those laugh lines that were once endearing can make us look old, angry, or tired when we’re none of those things.
Botox, currently the world’s most popular non-surgical cosmetic medical treatment, is one of the most effective ways to reduce lines and wrinkles, especially around the eyes.
Botox is an injectable neurotoxin that essentially relaxes the muscles. It works to soften wrinkles and reduce lines around the eyes, mouth, and forehead. Botox is also an effective treatment for eyebrow lift and chin dimples.
