Botox: Side effects, Function, Uses, Procedure

Botox

Botox® is the FDA-approved cosmetic form of botulinum toxin that reduces muscle activity and skin wrinkling. This painless office-based injectable temporarily reduces or eliminates worry lines, frown lines between the eyebrows, horizontal forehead creases, and crow ’s feet. Botox® can also be used to treat migraine headaches, excessive sweating, and certain muscle spasm conditions. Botox® is a quick and painless non-surgical cosmetic procedure that can help you look rejuvenated and take years off your face.

What Is Botox®?

Botox® is an FDA-approved prescription medicine that is injected into the muscles to temporarily block the nerve impulses to weaken and reduce muscle activities that cause formation of wrinkles and lines, such as frown lines, crow’s feet and laugh lines. Within days after the treatment, you may see a marked improvement and will continue to improve for up to 30 days. Results of Botox® results can last for up to 4 months. However, individual results may vary.

Botox® is administered by SherlyMed’s board-certified physician, Dr. Kaveh Bahmanpour, who uses the tiniest needles possible for a comfortable and relatively painless experience. During this procedure, the medicine Botox® is injected into certain areas on the facial muscles to stop nerve impulses. The obstruction of these impulses compels muscles that cause wrinkles to relax. Patients will still be able to show their full collection of facial expressions as this treatment only targets the offending facial muscles.
