The cosmetic form of botulinum toxin, often referred to by its product name Botox®, a popular injectable wrinkle treatment. Botox is injected into muscles to temporarily improve both moderate to severe crow’s feet and frown lines between the eyebrows. This is achieved by blocking the nerve impulses, temporarily paralyzing the muscles that cause wrinkles to give the skin a smoother, more refreshed appearance. Studies have also suggested that Botox is effective in relieving migraine headaches, excessive sweating and muscle spasms in the neck and eyes.
Smiling, frowning, squinting and even chewing - basically any facial movement can eventually lead to one of the most common signs of aging: wrinkles.

Botox can be combined with other cosmetic skin procedures such as chemical peels, dermal fillers or microdermabrasion to further improve your results. This combination of therapies can even help to prevent the formation of new lines and wrinkles.
Botox is used for the temporary correction of moderate to severe frown lines in patients 18 to 65 years of age. If you exhibit lines on the smooth part of your forehead above and between the brows, you should consider treatment with Botox.
Botox is not recommended if the patient exhibits an infection at the proposed injection site(s) and or has a known hypersensitivity to any Botox preparation. Do not undergo Botox treatment if you are allergic to any of the ingredients or if you have experienced an allergic reaction to another product containing botulinum toxin. Ask your plastic surgeon about the possible side effects of Botox.
Botox won’t fix all types of skin problems. For example, while it can diminish under-eye wrinkles, it can’t repair the damage caused by the sun. Your skin thickness, type, and the degree of wrinkling all play a role in determining the effectiveness of Botox. A top Northern VA plastic surgeon is the best person to evaluate if a Botox treatment is right for you personally.
