When people talk about injectable cosmetic treatments, the first word that comes into their mind is “botox”. It’s important to know that Botox® is just one of the brand names for commercially-prepared neurotoxin called “Botulinum toxin type A”. This neurotoxin blocks the signals from the nerves to the muscles, preventing contraction and softening wrinkles. Such a mechanism of action is also utilized in treating muscle disorders. In cosmetics, it is used to treat and smooth out wrinkles formed by facial expressions made throughout the years.
I am SO happy I found this place. The entire staff is always so great. I have gotten Botox for years and now I wont go anywhere else.

Since Botox® molecules tend to spread through a smaller area due to a lower diffusion rate, it is ideal for targeted applications like between the eyebrows (glabellar), the upper forehead, eye wrinkles (crow’s feet), and smile wrinkles.
Only Botox® is approved for the treatment of medical problems, such as chronic migraine, Bell’s palsy, and eyelid spasms.
The answer to this question is difficult to predict as it will depend on a number of factors, including the patient’s age and health history. However, Botox generally lasts for 3-4 months.
The cost of Botox will vary depending on the location and the amount of Botox that is needed. However, it generally ranges from $10 to $15 per unit.
