Botox El Paso and Las Cruces

BOTOX® Cosmetic is a simple, nonsurgical, physician-administered treatment that can temporarily smooth moderate to severe frown lines between the brows in people from 18 to 65 years of age. It is the only treatment of its type approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Botulinum toxin, or BOTOX®, works by weakening the muscles of facial expression. Once the resting tone of the treated muscles is weakened, the pull of the muscles relaxes and the overlying skin flattens. This approach is different than other local treatments for the aging face such as silicone, collagen, autologous fat transfer, which work by filling in wrinkles or depressions. These fillers are frequently not as effective as BOTOX® in removing wrinkles in the upper third of the face. By physiologically weakening the muscles with BOTOX®, wrinkles are lessened naturally often disappearing altogether.
