Botox

botoxBotox is a non-surgical treatment that offers quick results in the minimizing of wrinkles and lines within as few as seven days—without surgery and without downtime. Abramson Facial Plastic Surgery & Rejuvenation Center utilizes Botox cosmetic treatments because they have been proven effective in delivering a more youthful appearance in patients who do not require a full facelift.

After years of habitual facial expressions such as smiling or frowning, grooves, lines and wrinkles begin to appear as the results of repeated muscle contractions. We call these “dynamic” wrinkles. Genetics, family history and lifestyle habits (such as smoking or sunbathing) also contribute to these “dynamic” wrinkles and creases. Botox cosmetic treatments have been used safely and effectively for years to successfully treat these signs of aging.

At Abramson Facial Plastic Surgery & Rejuvenation Center, we offer Botox cosmetic treatments for:

  • Frown lines and forehead wrinkles
  • Crow's feet around the eyes
  • Nostril flaring
  • Lower face lines and wrinkles
  • Strabismus (lazy eye)
  • Blepharospasm (uncontrolled eye blinking)
  • Hyperfunctional facial lines
  • And more

What is Botox?

Botox is the brand name for Botulinum Toxin Type A, which is nature’s most potent nerve impulse blocker. It has been safely and successfully used for wrinkle therapy for many years now.

It works by relaxing the muscles that are used repeatedly, day after day, for facial expressions. Botox actually partially blocks the nerve impulses found in these muscles. This relaxing then allows the overlying skin to smooth out, so lines, folds and wrinkles disappear! This process does not affect the normal function of untreated muscles.

The benefits of Botox?

There are many benefits to choosing Botox cosmetic treatment for wrinkles and lines, including:

  • Botox is a safe, effective “lunchtime” treatment

  • Botox treatment is performed right in our office
