BOTOX Palo Alto

BOTOX® is injected into the muscles to alter the function of the muscle. People often frown or furrow when they are in heavy concentration. This can give the false impression that they may be angry or unhappy. Over a period of time, this activity promotes deep lining even in a relaxed state. BOTOX® injections can alter this inclination temporarily by relaxing the generated tension created by the muscle contraction. (Some patients have actually reported a dramatic reduction or elimination from headaches altogether after treatment.)

For:

• Brow forehead lines
• Crows feet
• Down turned corners of the mouth
• Neck bands
• Frown furrow
• Nasolabial folds
• Lip lines
• Facial assymetry

On the average, treatments usually last from 4 months to a year. Patients will notice some movement, which increases gradually as the effects wear off. There have been no recorded allergic reactions to this product and minimal, if any negative side effects. Since BOTOX® is an injection, there potentially can be some bruising. This can be minimized or avoided by refraining from the use of aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs, fish oil supplements, vitamin E and herbs 10 days prior to treatment.
