With no cutting, no stitching, no bruising - in short, no surgery and it’s ensuing few weeks of discomfort - the injection of Botox to ones facial muscles succeeds in improving the aging effects of wrinkles.

Botox, clinical name botulinum toxin type A, is a medically approved short cut to a more youthful look. Researched in the early nineties, it is universally used for cosmetic purposes as well as for the treatment of certain types of headache and migraine. Having undergone many clinical trials,  the use of cosmetic Botox is acknowledged as a safe and effective method outside the radicalism of cosmetic surgery and it’s potential for risk.

It involves the injection with fine needles into certain facial muscles, resulting in partial paralysis and thus improving the appearance of the line or wrinkle without negating expression. Handled by trained professionals, results of this treatment appear within one to two days and are complete on about the fourth day. The effect lasts for three to four months. Repeated and programmed treatments can maintain a more youthful look for some time to come. It is relatively painless, discreet and effective.

From its inception Botox has undergone many clinical trials and is recognized throughout the world as a safe cosmetic application. Support for BTX-A comes from the American Academy of Neurology, the American Academy of Opthalmology, the United States National Institution of Health, plus numerous other international and officially well regarded organizations.

The aim of the treatment is to lessen the downward and drooping effect of facial lines and small wrinkles, imparting a more youthful look without taking away all  muscle movement and expression. No face cream or serum can achieve this level of improvement, and it’s simplicity far outweighs the discomfort of surgery and anesthesia - not to mention expense, even risk. Within half an hour or so the Botox treatment is over and one is free to face the world with confidence.
