BOTOX Los Angeles
Cosmetic treatments of Botox in Los Angeles have become very popular
for good reason. They have been proven to be a safe, effective method
for reducing wrinkles.
The results of the Botox Cosmetic treatment
create a more youthful appearance. The treatment can be applied to smooth
wrinkles in areas such as:
- the neck
- face while during a facelift
- mouth, chin and jaw
- and is especially useful in the eye area to complament any eyelid surgery
Removing wrinkles from between the eyes can dramatically change a person's
look from one of permanent anger or sadness to a contented and rested
look. It is also frequently used on the thin wrinkles that surround the
eyes, or "crow's feet".
Facts about Botox in Los Angeles
The solution used in Botox for Los Angeles treatments is made of botulinum A toxin, a
purified protein made from botulism bacteria. This solution temporarily
paralyzes nerves of the facial muscles so that they cannot contract and
cause wrinkles in the area being treated.
A typical Botox ® Cosmetic
treatment takes less than an hour, and patients are back to their normal
routine immediately. The patients see the results within two weeks, however
the procedure does need to be repeated every 3-4 months. This is necessary
because the nerve endings usually grow new connections to the muscles
at locations that have not been exposed to the toxin. If treatment is
not continued, then the wrinkles will once again appear.
Botox ® Cosmetic may also be helpful in treating migraine headaches,
and can be used to decrease excess sweating of the palms and underarms.
