Hide your wrinkles with BOTOX®!
BOTOX® treatments are the most popular cosmetic procedure in the United States, simply because they work. BOTOX® injections target the wrinkles on your face, specifically on your forehead and around your eyes, and last up to six months per treatment.
Wrinkles are created when nerve cells within the muscles beneath your skin release acetylcholine, which in turn triggers a muscle contraction that creates wrinkles. BOTOX® disrupts the release of this chemical, keeping the muscle from contracting, thus keeping wrinkles hidden.
To learn more about BOTOX® or find out if BOTOX® treatments may be right for you, come by our office or call for an appointment with Joan Hughes Smith, NP-C.
Quick Tip
Stop taking medications that can thin blood a week before you get BOTOX® injections. This will minimize any potential post-Botox bruising. Also avoid drinking alcohol a few days before you get Botox.
