Botox Injections — Minimally Invasive Houston
Botox injections are the most popular minimally invasive cosmetic procedure performed in the United States. This injection utilizes botulinum toxin type A, a purified protein used in both aesthetic and medical treatments.
Cosmetically, botulinum toxin type A acts as a neuromuscular inhibitor within targeted facial muscles to limit their movement and, ultimately, their effect on wrinkle creation.
Weathering of the face develops along the mouth, eyes, forehead and neck as a result of the aging process. Smiling, frowning and squinting exasperate this wrinkling effect.
Botox injections are safe, reliable and have been proven over the years to be effective at blocking nerve signals in targeted facial muscles. The solution remains effective for about three to six months after the procedure, which helps explain its meteoric rise in popularity.
More details about Botox injections can be learned during a consultation with board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Michael Ciaravino.
