Injectables

Botox injections can be used for cosmetic purposes by patients in order to temporarily reduce or remove facial wrinkles or fine lines. Frown lines, crow’s feet around the eyes and forehead creases are the most common treatments though other areas include thick neck bands, gummy smiles and lip lines.

Botox for wrinkles works because Botox injections block the nerve signals to the injected muscles and without those signals the muscle is unable to contract, thus diminishing wrinkles.

Botox cosmetic use is quite common in Miami Beach, FL and used in a variety of treatments including smoothing out crow’s feet, frown lines and bunny lines. Botox for forehead lines and Botox for forehead wrinkles is another common use as well as diminishing bands in the neck, lifting the corners of the mouth, correcting gummy smiles, improving chin skin dimples and softening square jawlines.

Botox has been in use for cosmetic purposes for around five decades now since the 1970s. The formulation used and dosage required will depend on the individual concerned and will have to be discussed with a professional cosmetic surgeon.

Beyond cosmetics Botox is also used for pain management and as part of a treatment plan for a number of conditions such as excessive muscle contractions, severe sweating, chronic migraine, uncontrollable blinking, eyelid twitching, an overactive bladder, and rigid or stiff muscles.

A very fine needle is used to inject Botox into the desired areas of skin and muscle being treated by a doctor. This can be done in several areas as required for treatment.
