Wrinkles don't only result from sun and aging cells. When you frown, concentrate, or squint, the muscles between your brows and around your eyes cause your skin to fold. BOTOX Cosmetic works beneath the skin's surface and targets the underlying muscle activity that causes these wrinkles. Extensively studied and tested, BOTOX Cosmetic is widely used throughout the world as a safe and effective treatment.
The two major areas targeted by BOTOX Cosmetic are crow's feet and frown lines. Crow's feet are the wrinkles at the outer edges of your eyes, which become especially pronounced when you squint. To smooth out these wrinkles, Dr. Tikson will make small injections in the muscle that frames the side of each eye. Frown lines are the vertical wrinkles that appear between your eyebrows, especially when you concentrate. For some people, these wrinkles can become deep and permanent. By making a series of injections in the affected brow muscles, Dr. Tikson can greatly reduce or entirely eliminate these wrinkles.
