What is BOTOX?

You’ve heard about it in movies, seen your friends talking about it, or seen an ad or two about it, but what is BOTOX?

Essentially, Botox® Cosmetic (onabotulinumtoxinA) is a prescription medicine. Its full name is Botulinum Toxin, and it has a variety of uses, namely aesthetic and therapeutic treatments. At Carpe Diem, you can have BOTOX injected into your facial muscles to temporarily restore a youthful quality to the face.

Botox® is designed to treat dynamic wrinkles that are caused by continual frowning, squinting, and furrowing of the brows. It relaxes the facial muscles around the eyes and brows, preventing them from contracting and causing wrinkles. Botox has enabled thousands of patients to enjoy a smoother and more youthful facial appearance.

How does BOTOX work?

When injected into the face, BOTOX effectively blocks specific nerve signals that contract your facial muscles. The BOTOX makes those muscles relax, thus minimizing the appearance of any wrinkles you may have. The results of a smoother complexion can last anywhere from three to six months.

BOTOX is a completely safe and quick procedure; most treatments only take a few minutes. If you’re interested in learning more BOTOX or any of our other services, book a free consult with us today.
