This proven cosmetic solution will make you look refreshed, revitalized, and younger.
How does BOTOX ® COSMETIC work?
Very small amounts of Botox (botulinum toxin), a purified protein, are injected into specific areas to improve lines, wrinkles and furrows. The injection blocks nerve impulses, muscle activity that causes the frown lines is reduced, and a smoother look results.
Botox is administered with very short and small needles making the injection process very comfortable. No anesthesia is required and downtime is definitely not expected afterward. Bruising is uncommon.
Just a 3 to 4 days after this completely injection treatment you will develop a younger, more relaxed appearance

Why not go to a primary care physician (family practitioner), dentists, gynecologists, internists and cosmetologists for BOTOX
Practitioners like dentists and other doctors who are not formally residency-trained in the administration of Botox injections have been found to suffer a much higher rate of complications, as it’s a side interest to them, and not a treatment they’re certified to do all day long. One of the most common complaints is over treatment, with too much Botox being injected into the skin, resulting in drooping eyelids, sagging brows, or a frozen forehead.
What are the risks of BOTOX
Risks or side effects of BOTOX Cosmetic are rare and are usually mild and temporary. The most common side effects caused by BOTOX are headaches and temporary redness or bruising of the skin at the site of injection. In rare cases, slight drooping of an eyelid or asymmetry of expression may occur. Any risk of complication can be reduced by choosing a qualified and experienced physician
Are there other treatment options
In addition to BOTOX, there are two other FDA approved botulinum toxins on the US market: Dysport and Xeomin. Dr. Mesa considers that Botox provides the best results to the vast majority of his patients.
