Get Rid of Lines and Wrinkles

What is Botox®?

Botox® is a purified protein muscle-relaxant that is administered using a series of tiny injections. 
Botox® is a non surgical treatment for lines and wrinkles.

​Approximately 11.8 million Botox® Cosmetic procedures have been administered in the United States since 2002. 97% of 117 patients surveyed were satisfied with the results of their Botox® Cosmetic experience.

Botox® Treatments at Face Doctors is administered by a healthcare professional as a simple, nonsurgical treatment that is injected directly into the muscles between the brows around the eyes and in the forehead. It works by blocking nerve impulses to the injected muscles. This reduces muscle activity that causes moderate to severe lines to form.

Who is Botox® suitable for?

The treatment is also suitable for individuals who are afraid of or do not want to opt for surgical methods. It consists of a few simple injections to the selected areas, with numbing cream applied prior to treatment in order to reduce any discomfort or pain. The smallest and finest needles are used to inject Botox®, minimizing any redness, bruising or bleeding on the facial skin – these are the only “side effects” of the treatment, as actual side effects are extremely uncommon.
