Beauty enhancement
Botox is a brand name for a purified form of botulinum toxin, a neurotoxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum and when injected in tiny amounts into specific muscles, Botox temporarily paralyzes or weakens them. This muscle relaxation can smooth out wrinkles and fine lines, providing a more youthful appearance. Our practitioner is a Nurse practitioner who would be performing the service.
Botox can be used to enhance various facial areas while maintaining a natural appearance:
- Forehead Lines: Botox can smooth horizontal lines on the forehead, reducing the appearance of aging without making the forehead appear completely immobile. For this area you can expect to use 10 – 20 units.
- Frown Lines (Glabellar Lines): These vertical lines between the eyebrows, often called “11 lines,” can be softened with Botox. For this area you can expect to do 10 – 20 units.
- Crow’s Feet: Botox can address the fine lines that radiate from the corners of your eyes when you smile. For this area approximately about 5 – 10 units.
- Brow Lift: Botox can be strategically placed to give the eyebrows a subtle lift, creating a more open and youthful appearance. For this area approx 5 – 10 units.
- Lip Lines: Botox can be used to smooth vertical lines around the lips, often referred to as “smoker’s lines” or “lipstick lines.” For this area approx 4 – 8 units.
- Neck Bands: Botox can also be used to soften the appearance of neck bands, commonly known as “turkey neck.” For this area approx 15 – 25 units.
