The cosmetic treatment of choice for many, Wilmington NC Botox reduces wrinkles and fine lines that develop over time due to movement and facial expressions. It is a neuromodulator containing botulinum toxin that prevents muscles from contracting and smoothing out the skin’s surface. Botox is the most popular anti-aging treatment in the world. It is safe, effective, and incredibly affordable. It works best in the forehead and crow’s feet areas as well as other dynamic wrinkles caused by smiling, squinting, and frowning.

BOTOX® is FDA approved for the cosmetic improvement of moderate to severe forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines between the eyebrows that result from repeated muscle movement and are common in adults over 40. It also improves the appearance of fine lines around the mouth and lips that accumulate as a result of smiling, squinting, and laughing. It also treats a number of medical conditions including excessive sweating and post-stroke limb spasticity.

The injectable is a purified form of botulinum toxin and works by temporarily blocking the nerve signals that cause certain muscles to move. It is most commonly used on the frown lines and crow’s feet, but can also be useful for brow lifts, sagging lips, and treating a number of medical conditions such as migraine headaches, excessive sweating, and strabismus (cross-eye).

During your Botox session, we will first numb your skin with either a topical cream or ice to reduce any possible discomfort. Then, a small amount of Botox is injected into the targeted muscles through a thin needle. The entire treatment session should only take 10-15 minutes. Once the injections are done, you can resume your daily activities immediately. However, you should avoid rubbing or massaging the area as this may cause the Botox to spread to other muscles and hinder your results.

It is important to select a highly experienced and accredited Botox injector who will ensure you get the best results and maintain your safety.
