What is
Botox Cosmetic?
Botox Cosmetic is an injectable treatment derived from a
purified protein which is widely used to help reduce the appearance
of aging by softening facial lines and wrinkles. It works by
relaxing the muscle contraction, giving your face a more relaxed
and refreshed appearance.
Why Skin
Ages?
In general, how skin ages and wrinkles is a complex process. It
isn't just about cellular changes, collagen depletion, hormone
loss, damage caused by free radicals and so on; it's a combination
of many factors.
The lines that appears between your brows (glabellar lines)
actually result from muscle movement and the passage of time. After
years of crinkling and wrinkling, those glabellar lines start to
linger longer and can become more pronounced.
Is Botox
Cosmetic treatment safe?
Botox has been licensed in Canada since 1990 as a safe and
effective treatment for a variety of medical conditions. In 2001,
Health Canada approved Botox Cosmetic for wrinkle therapy, and it
has proven to be very safe through extensive research and
testing.
Botox Cosmetic is the most popular physician-administered
cosmetic treatment in North America with an estimated 3 million
treatments performed annually.
How long
does the treatment last / Is it Painful?
The procedure is painless and takes about 10 minutes. Botox
Cosmetic effects usually last up to four months and injection needs
to be repeated every few months as the material is gradually broken
down in the body.
