Botulinum Toxin Type A, more commonly known as the injectables Botox and Dysport, are used to block repetitive muscle movement in the face where wrinkles and creases are starting to form. Botulinum Toxin Type A has been used to help men and women of various ages reduce the appearance of crow’s feet, frown lines, creases in the forehead, and creases on the neck. There are a number of factors that contribute to how, where, and when we show signs of aging and today there are facial rejuvenation treatments available to specifically target each of these things. Botulinum Toxin Type A may not be the right option for you if you have more advanced signs of aging such as sagging skin or lines and creases that have formed due to loss of volume. There are other procedures best suited to address these types of aging.

The administering of Botulinum Toxin Type is done in just a matter of minutes, in office, via injection. This procedure is virtually painless and doesn’t require any additional time for recovery following the procedure. Results from this procedure can last 3-4 months!
