Botox

Aging happens to all of us, but fortunately there are plenty of ways to reduce wrinkles and get back to that younger-looking you. One of the most well-known injectables for eliminating wrinkles around the eyes, frown lines, and forehead furrows is Botox. Botox is made up of botulinum toxin type A which has been approved by the FDA. Injections of Botox act to block muscular nerve signals, which then weakens the muscle so it can’t contract. The end result is diminished unwanted facial wrinkles.

Botox Injectable 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. Peter J. Abramson, M.D. at Abramson Facial Plastic Surgery Center in Atlanta, GA has successfully performed thousands of treatments using Botox..

Using Botox is a simple procedure but can provide some of the most dramatic results for giving you a more youthful appearance. You can expect to see results in just a few days after treatment. The appearance of the treated areas may continue to improve over time as the wrinkle relaxes and soothes with full results seen in five to seven days.
