Botulinum Toxin

About Botulinum toxin

Botulinum toxin is a natural, purified protein that was initially developed as a way to treat eye problems like excessive blinking and strabismus. It quickly developed a reputation in the cosmetic world when it was discovered to reduce wrinkles and fine lines. But that was only the beginning. New uses are being discovered with increasing frequency. In fact, in 2017, Time Magazine wrote a cover story entitled “How Botulinum toxin Became the Drug That’s Treating Everything”. Today, doctors are using Botulinum toxin for everything from migraines to depression, and it remains a popular non-surgical cosmetic technique.

For Facelift

A Botulinum toxin Facelift is an innovative procedure whereby diluted amounts of Botulinum toxin are injected in very small amounts directly into the dermis, or skin, to increase collagen stimulation and firming. The result is a lifting and tightening effect over the whole face.

For Jaw Reduction

Botulinum toxin is injected into the chewing muscle (masseter) causing it to weaken and shrink in size. The result is a slimmer, more youthful face shape. The procedure also helps those who suffer from migraine headaches caused by stress and teeth grinding, as it relaxes the jaw muscles thereby reducing overall tension in the face.

For Jaw Sagging

Micro-amounts of Botulinum toxin are injected into the muscles as well as the skin of the jawline and sides of the neck. The technique is often referred to as the “The Nefertiti Neck Lift”, so named after the Egyptian queen famously known for her strikingly angled jawline.

For Wrinkles and Lines

Botulinum toxin is injected into the muscles that cause wrinkles to form on the face. It is a safe and simple method to reduce wrinkles and soften fine lines while providing a fresher, more youthful look.

For Sweating

Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition where one sweats excessively in situations unrelated to temperature and weather. It commonly affects the underarm area and often causes anxiety and stress, especially if clothing gets regularly soiled or sweat drips down the body.
