Botox
 

Botox® is now being used by Board Certified Dermatologist whose headquarters is in Manhattan, New York, to improve facial appearance by reducing horizontal creases in the forehead, frown lines, and wrinkling. Botox® wrinkle removal is a 10-minute in-office procedure with no downtime and patients can return to work immediately after the injection.

While Botox® is a relatively simple procedure it does require experience and expertise to ensure the best possible results with the least risk of complications. Board Certified Dermatolotis, Babar K. Rao has many years of experience with Botox®.

The overall effect of a Botox® injection is a relaxed, smooth appearance for the treated facial area. The most commonly treated areas are the forehead and around the eyes, although a Botox® injection can treat other areas of the face and neck as well.
 
Botox® is the brand name of botulinum toxin type A that has been in use since about 1990. Botox® is injected into a muscle that is contracting and causing wrinkles or frown lines. Botox® weakens the nerve to the muscle for about four to six months. Botox® works by reducing the strength of the muscles that caused the wrinkles or frown lines in the first place. This may reduce your frown lines or wrinkles without surgery.

BOTOX® is rapidly replacing collagen injections as the treatment of choice for removing wrinkles. BOTOX® is a purified neurotoxin complex. When injected in minute amounts, the toxin works to paralyze those muscles that cause you to frown.

Areas between the eyebrows, in the forehead and crow's feet can be successfully treated, causing improvement or disappearance of frown lines.

BOTOX® is not permanent and lasts between four to six months. Board Certified Dermatologist, Babar K. Rao, MD, FAAD also uses BOTOX® injections in conjunction with the Laser Peel procedure to further enhance the results.
