Botox® for Wrinkles and Worry Lines
Botox® or botulinum toxin is a drug administered by injection into a muscle. It works to block the messages sent from nerves to muscles. It is useful in decreasing forehead worry lines or "crow's feet" lines at the outer corner of the eyes. The patient pictured below has forehead worry lines suitable for Botox® treatment. The injection does not completely eliminate these lines, but does decrease contraction of the muscles that make the lines more prominent with a frown.
The effect normally lasts for 3-4 months. The exact cost varies depending on how many units of Botox® are used.
Other areas can also be treated, such as forehead horizontal lines or crow's
feet at the outer corner of the eyes.
Botox® enters nerves and blocks release of the messenger substance which causes nerves to make muscles contract.
Botox® is a registered trademark of Allergan, Inc. Dr. Hawes never uses or
recommends any grey market botulinum toxin.
