Botox & Dysport
Smooth away wrinkles and fine lines in the face
WHAT IS BOTOX COSMETIC?
BOTOX is an injectable product that’s FDA approved to reduce the signs of certain lines and wrinkles on the face. Although it was approved for cosmetic use in 2002, the active ingredient in BOTOX—a purified protein—has been trusted by the medical community for many years and in many different capacities. Because this protein blocks nerve signals from the brain to affected muscles, it is especially effective in smoothing wrinkles caused by movement, such as crow’s feet, frown lines, and the vertical lines that form between your eyebrows. Outside of the aesthetic world, BOTOX is used to treat conditions including:
- migraine headaches
- eyelid spasms
- symptoms of an overactive bladder
HOW IT WORKS
Rather than physically adding volume to wrinkles the way injectable fillers do, BOTOX prevents you from making the expressions that cause these wrinkles in the first place. When injected by trained professionals, such as the medical practitioners at Valley Dermatology, BOTOX smooths your complexion without interfering with your ability to make facial expressions. This type of injectable treatment has been successfully used for years to treat some of the most common age-related concerns of women and men alike.
