BOTOX is a purified protein that has been used therapeutically for over 15 years to treat a variety of medical conditions. Since 2002 it has been FDA-approved for cosmetic treatments. The lines that appear between your brows result from muscle movement over time. As we age the skin becomes less elastic, repeated frowning can result in moderate to severe lines between the brows. Many patients elect to use Botox as a wrinkle-preventive.

Botox works very differently than wrinkle fillers. Botox blocks the body's chemicals that cause wrinkle-causing facial muscle contraction. By preventing the contraction, you also prevent the wrinkle that comes from it. This works on many facial muscle activities, including:

• Frown and worry lines
• Lines around the eyes
• "Bunny" lines on the nose
• Downturned mouth corners
• Low, heavy or unbalanced eyebrows
• Chin crunch (unconscious contraction of chin muscles)
• Neck bands (platysma)
• Vertical lip lines - In conjunction with fillers

Botox is one of the simplest procedures with one of the most dramatic responses. You can expect to see results within days after your treatment. The appearance of the treated areas may continue to improve over time as the wrinkle relaxes and smooths.

Dr. Mani may recommend Botox injections prior to filler injections in certain areas of frequent muscle movement as this prevents "creasing" of the filler product. Combined use often prolongs the effects of both Botox and your chosen filler as they work synergistically to fill the wrinkles and relax the muscles themselves.

Botox is very often used to affect a "Chemical Browlift" and can be accomplished with a few extra injection locations. By preventing the action of the muscles that push the brow down, the muscles that lift the brow up have more ability to raise the brow - in essence providing a temporary nonsurgical browlift or brow balancing if one brow is lower than the other.

Dr. Mani's many years of experience as a board certifed ophthalmologist makes her uniquely qualified to provide precision results for this procedure as well as any procedures or fillers around the sensitive eye area. Only licensed and trained healthcare professionals have the experience necessary to administer BOTOX Cosmetic. Dr. Mani only uses authentic Botox® Cosmetic at the full manufacturer recommended strength. This insures your safety and the results you expect.

Also BOTOX is an ideal treatment for axillary hyperhidrosis or severe sweating of underarms, hands, palms and soles of the feet. Botox has been termed "the best antiperspirant on the planet."

"My husband has super strong frown muscles. Many times he's had people mistakenly worried that he was angry with them - even me! I gave him Botox for his birthday. It's been a gift we've all enjoyed, and even his co-workers remark on his new great mood."
