BOTOX® & RESTYLANE® INJECTIONS
Botox® Injection: Botulinum toxin injections, often referred to by the commercial name, BOTOX Cosmetic®, are biological toxins that have been transformed into therapeutic agents. Work with botulinum toxin began in the late 1960s to treat neurological disorders. Today, BOTOX® is used for the treatment of frown lines,  forehead furrows, "crow’s feet," lines and wrinkles of the lower face, and even nasal muscles (to decrease nostril flaring or nasal “bunny lines”). The lines and wrinkles that respond to BOTOX® injections are those caused by the muscles—specifically those muscles that contract during facial expressions such as frowning or squinting. BOTOX® has been proven to stop excessive under arm sweating and to minimize or prevent migrane headaches. BOTOX® injections have become the most popular, nonsurgical cosmetic procedure.
Restylane® injection: Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance (polysaccharide) that can be used as a soft tissue filler. It is now commercially available as a product called Restylane®. It is being widely used for the management of wrinkles, facial lines, contour deformities, and deficiencies of face, cheeks, and lips associated with aging, developmental anomalies, and certain diseases.
