BOTOX®
BOTOX® Cosmetic is the only approved treatment to temporarily improve the appearance of both moderate to severe frown lines between the brows and crow’s feet lines in adults. Treatment requires minimal downtime or recovery; it’s often called a lunchtime procedure. You’ll be able to go about your normal routine immediately after you leave the office.
HOW DOES BOTOX® COSMETIC WORK?
BOTOX® Cosmetic targets one of the underlying causes of frown lines and crow’s feet—the repeated muscle contractions from frowning and squinting over the years.
Your specialist will inject these muscles with BOTOX® Cosmetic to temporarily reduce muscle activity. You will begin to notice a visible smoothing of your crow’s feet lines and frown lines between your brows.
Wrinkles result from a combination of many factors. It’s not just about cellular changes that can occur over time, reduction of collagen, or damage caused by free radicals in the sun and the environment. When you frown or concentrate, the muscles between your brows contract, causing your skin to furrow and fold. And when you squint, the muscles around your eyes contract and cause crow’s feet.
BOTOX® Cosmetic works beneath the skin’s surface and targets the underlying muscle activity that causes frown lines and crow’s feet.
REAL, NOTICEABLE RESULTS
You may begin to notice results within 24 to 48 hours for moderate to severe frown lines, with results lasting up to 4 months.
Crows Feet
For the crow’s feet area, your specialist will inject 3 areas of the orbicularis oculi, the muscle that frames the side of the eye. This will be repeated on the orbicularis oculi muscle on the other eye.
Injecting BOTOX® Cosmetic into the muscles that cause crow’s feet lines temporarily reduces the activity of those muscles. The result is a reduction in the appearance of those lines.
Frown Lines
For the frown lines area, your specialist will administer 5 injections into muscles in your forehead—1 in the procerus muscle and 4 in the corrugator muscles.
Injecting BOTOX® Cosmetic into the muscles that cause frown lines temporarily reduces the activity of those muscles. The result is a reduction in the appearance of those lines.
Awesome environmen
t and I don’t know how anyone could go anywhere else. Guys you can reduce your age just from a few treatments . Maria can work magic on reducing those years of smile and forehead wrinkles. If you are interested in getting fuller and thicker hair they have an amazing treatment that helps stimulate hair growth using your own platelets. I’ve been doing it and it’s amazing.
I leave with glowing skin and great products every time! Very fun and professional and I am extremely happy with every service I’ve tried!
I started going to Infinite Youth a few months ago to correct botched filler I had done at another location. They was incredibly knowledgeable and was able to immediately identify the problem areas. It was a process (as she explained it would be) but in a few weeks she had me looking incredible!
Since then, we’ve done Botox and the most amazing micro-needling treatment. She’s so talented and has an eye for keeping things looking natural.
Btw- the micro needling treatment she does is like micro-needling but on steroids. It’s a brand new technique where, instead of just poking the skin, she simultaneously injects tiny drops of Botox and filler into the skin. I’ve never seen anything like it. My skin is plump and smooth. Literally looks 10 years younger! I feel so fortunate to have found Infinite youth. Last thing I’ll say is that she’s super easy to get ahold of. Usually I just shoot her a text. Such a life-saver for this girl on the go! 🙂
