BOTOX® & Wrinkle Relaxers

Introduction to BOTOX® & Wrinkle Relaxers

When you smile, laugh, or frown, you contract the muscles of your face. With time, these contractions produce permanent lines in the skin. These wrinkles can make you look older, sad, tired, or permanently angry. BOTOX® Cosmetic prevents you from deepening these lines during natural facial expressions and eliminates these signs of aging, leaving you looking younger and more revitalized.

BOTOX® Cosmetic is one of the most frequently performed non-surgical procedures in the U.S. This anti-aging treatment involves a series of tiny injections into the skin to inhibit muscle activity that causes wrinkles to form.

BOTOX® Cosmetic is the brand name for botulinum toxin A, a therapeutic muscle-relaxing agent. It is FDA-approved to treat severe frown lines between the eyebrows and moderate to severe crow’s feet lines in adults.

What Are BOTOX & Wrinkle Relaxers?

BOTOX & Wrinkle Relaxers are a non-invasive muscle-relaxing agent that is used to minimize wrinkles and fine lines around sensitive and delicate areas of the face and body. It is one of the most sought-after cosmetic procedures, the only FDA-approved temporary wrinkle reliever. Injected under the skin, BOTOX or Botulinum toxin type A causes the muscles to relax by blocking the nerve impulses that communicate with the muscles. This further makes this an attractive procedure because the results are instantaneous with minimal downtime. If you are interested in learning more, consider scheduling your consultation with board-certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Sato as soon as possible.

BOTOX & Wrinkle Relaxers We Offer

BOTOX

Botox injections are shots that use a toxin to temporarily prevent a muscle from moving. These shots are often used to smooth wrinkles on the face. They’re also used to treat neck spasms, sweating, overactive bladder, lazy eye, and other conditions. Botox shots may also help prevent migraines.

The medicine in Botox injections is made from the same toxin that causes a type of food poisoning called botulism. However, the forms of purified botulinum toxin used by licensed healthcare providers meet medical control standards approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. As a rule, the bacteria toxins used for medical purposes are not harmful if used correctly.

Daxxify

DAXXIFY® is FDA-approved specifically for smoothing moderate to severe brow lines. It is the only frown line treatment powered by a peptide. The active ingredient in DAXXIFY® is also botulinum toxin type A.

Dysport

Dysport® treatment temporarily improves the look of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines) by reducing specific muscle activity. This non-surgical, minimally invasive injectable treatment can treat various areas with wrinkles, including crow’s feet and horizontal forehead lines. Wrinkles are caused by repeated movements and muscle contractions, which means they can even develop in young adults. After enough of these contractions, it becomes difficult for the muscles to return to their at-rest positions. Contracted and stiff muscles cause the overlying skin to bunch and form wrinkles.
Dysport blocks the nerve impulses to the contracted muscles, allowing them to relax. This, in turn, allows the skin to relax, smoothing away wrinkles.
