What is Botox?
Botox is a purified form of botulinum toxin A, a protein that temporarily blocks the signals from nerves to muscles. By relaxing the targeted muscles it reduces the appearance of lines and wrinkles, particularly around the eyes, forehead and mouth.
Botox and Dysport are both offered. Before anything is injected, your injector assesses your needs and expectations to make sure Botox is the right treatment for you.
Not sure this is the right treatment?
A free 15-minute consultation is where every cosmetic plan starts. Medical Botox, for sweating or migraine, has its own consultation, with a $50 deposit that goes toward your treatment. How a consultation works
