This treatment dramatically smooths out chronic frown or "crows feet." The treatment works by relaxing the small muscles around the eyes and along the forehead that cause wrinkles, leaving your skin looking as young and relaxed as you feel. Botox can also treat nasal "bunny lines," create a non-surgical brow lift, and even be used to treat excessive perspiration.

How it Works

A tiny amount of Botox, a natural, purified protein, is injected into the small facial muscles that create what are known as dynamic wrinkles, the wrinkles that are formed by frowning, squinting, and even laughing. The protein blocks the nerve impulses to those specific muscles that are being targeted, causing them to relax. When the muscles relax the wrinkles are smoothed away and the face is left looking fresher, younger, and more relaxed.

What to expect

A Botox treatment is simple. It can be done in a short appointment and results in no downtime. There may be some slight temporary bruising at the site of the injection and very little pain, similar to an insect bite, is expected. Dramatic results will be apparent within four to seven days and will last for three to six months when a new treatment will be required.

Women who are nursing, pregnant or trying to get pregnant should not use Botox. Ask the technicians and physicians at South Central Laser if Botox is right for you.
