BOTOX: $14 per unit
Botulinum toxins (Botox, etc.) are one of the most extensively studied medical aesthetic treatments and are approved for cosmetic use in 78 countries. Botulinum toxins are approved treatment to temporarily improve the appearance of both moderate to severe frown lines in and around the face and neck.
Wrinkles result from a combination of many factors. It’s not just about cellular changes that can occur over time, reduction of collagen, or damage caused by free radicals in the sun and the environment. When you frown or concentrate, the muscles between your brows contract, causing your skin to furrow and fold. And when you squint, the muscles around your eyes contract and cause crow’s feet.
Botulinum toxins work beneath the skin’s surface and targets the underlying muscle activity that causes frown lines and crow’s feet. Botulinum toxins target one of the underlying causes of frown lines and crow’s feet—the repeated muscle contractions from frowning and squinting over the years. Dr. Bakaj will inject these muscles with to temporarily reduce muscle activity. You will begin to notice a visible smoothing of your crow’s feet lines and frown lines in the areas treated within 48-72 hours, and the effects can last 3 months.
Cosmetic muscle relaxers such as BOTOX® are perfect for smoothing wrinkles on our faces. Wrinkles are created by our own expression and animation, constantly contracting muscles to smile, laugh or look surprised. We would all love to be wrinkle-free and younger-looking but none of us can be expected to maintain an expressionless appearance. When used expertly, BOTOX injections can target the exact muscles responsible for wrinkles in the forehead, between the brows, or around the eyes without hindering our ability to be as expressive as ever.
At Lotus Med Spa patients have an effective approach to cosmetic muscle relaxers. By taking the time to use muscle relaxers to highlight your natural beauty, we strive to provide the best BOTOX treatment in Victoria.
