BOTOX®

How Does BOTOX Work?

BOTOX is a diluted form of a bacteria known as botulinum toxin. When it’s injected into overworked facial muscles that have bunched-up, it allows them to relax and minimize the appearance of wrinkles. It’s important to remember that the results that BOTOX offer are only temporary, but with routine injections, you’ll be able to maintain them and prevent signs of aging. The treatment is also customized for your needs. During your appointment, Dr. Melissa Warnick will discuss your goals with you and help you determine how many injections will allow you to achieve your ideal results.
