HOW OFTEN DO I NEED BOTOX®?
It is dependent upon various environmental factors such as drinking alcohol, smoking excessive sun exposure, exercise, and metabolic factors.
TREATMENT PROCESS
BOTOX® is produced from a toxin that is derived from the bacterium Clostridium Botulinum. It is known as type A. It is injected in small amounts under the skin. It then targets muscles and temporarily restricts their movement. This allows the overlying skin to repair resulting in a smooth – young wrinkle free appearance.
