Botox Specialist in Northridge, Los Angeles, CA

Botox is a cosmetic injection made from a neurotoxin protein known as onabotulinumtoxinA. Botox functions as a neuromodulator.

The neuromodulating action of Botox injections temporarily inhibits involuntary muscle contractions in the injection site. Botox injections are used in this way because repeated muscle contractions in a particular area are one of the primary reasons for wrinkles and fine lines, the other being a decrease in collagen production that occurs naturally with time.

Involuntary muscle contractions occur whenever we make a facial expression, whether that is smiling, squinting, or frowning. As our bodies produce less collagen with time, our skin loses its ability to bounce back into form from repeated muscle contractions. As a result of those expressions, wrinkles and fine lines begin to appear in those areas of the face.

Botox has many anti-aging benefits, such as reduced wrinkles and fine lines, boosted confidence in your appearance, and more. In addition to the anti-aging benefits that Botox provides, however, Botox is used in various medical treatments as well! As such, some of the other ways Botox can benefit you include:

• Treating drooping brows
• Stopping excessive sweating
• Reducing migraine pain
• Bell’s Palsy treatment
• Stopping eye twitching
• Treating cervical dystonia
• Non-invasive

Allergan’s BOTOX Cosmetic temporarily reduces expression-causing wrinkles across the face by relaxing facial muscles that crease the skin with. Soften frown lines, minimize crow’s feet, smoker lines and forehead lines.

• Per Unit (13)

Botox is composed of a complex mixture of proteins. Xeomin is a purified form of botulinum toxin type A. Both cosmetic treatments reduce the signs of wrinkles in the same manner for several months. Studies show that both Botox and Xeomin have similar efficacy for the same areas.
