Botox | NYC

Many facial lines and wrinkles are caused by repeated contraction of the underlying muscles on the skin.  If the muscles cannot contract, you cannot wrinkle the overlying skin.  BOTOX NYC® is an injectable material that is used to selectively paralyze certain facial muscles.  By relaxing these muscles, BOTOX® causes these wrinkles to soften and often disappear.  BOTOX® is most often used in the frown between the eyebrows, the horizontal creases of the forehead, and crow's feet around the eyes.  The solution is injected with a small needle into the selected muscles.  The final result may not be apparent right away; it may take several days to two weeks for the full effect of the BOTOX® to manifest.  The effect of BOTOX® usually lasts 4-6 months and an ongoing effect will require repeat treatments every several months.  In addition, BOTOX NYC® is also used for reducing wrinkling of the neck, and to treat hyperhydrosis (excessive sweating) under the arms, on the palms of the hands, and on the soles of the feet.
