Botox Treatment

According to the Mayo Clinic, Botox injections are noted primarily to reduce facial wrinkles. They also treat conditions such as neck spasms (cervical dystonia), excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), an overactive bladder, and lazy eye. Botox injections may also help prevent chronic migraines.

How Does Botox Work?

Botox works by blocking signals from the nerves to the muscles. Once this happens, the injected muscle cannot contract, which then causes wrinkles to relax and soften. 

The effects typically last 3 – 6 months before the muscle action begins to show again. This movement results in the lines and wrinkles returning and will need to be treated again.
