Botulinum Toxin Type A - Botox®

Botulinum Toxin Type A - Botox® helps smooth the facial skin, resulting in wrinkle-free, younger-looking skin. The only side effect of Botulinum Toxin Type A - Botox® is some muscle weakness near the site of injection. This means that you may have some difficulty making certain facial expressions such as squinting, frowning or lowering and raising your eyebrows.

An important piece of information to remember is that Botulinum Toxin Type A - Botox® is a temporary solution; it only reduces wrinkles for a few months at a time.

Most patients choose to get regular treatment every couple months to maintain their smooth, wrinkle-free skin.

As very small dosages are used for injections, Botulinum Toxin Type A - Botox® is very safe and there are no side effects from repeated treatment.
