Botox® is the trade name of Botulinum Toxin Type A.
When injected into the muscles of the forehead, Botox® blocks
the nerve impulses that cause frown lines. In effect, the
action of frowning is stopped, and frown lines diminish
dramatically.
The results of Botox® treatments start to appear
in 3 to 10 days. The treated forehead and eyebrow muscles
will start to gradually regain their action over 3 to 6
months, so repeat treatments are necessary. Botox® is
also utilized to lift the lateral eye brows, correct facial
asymmetry, and even to treat severe underarm sweating.
Botox® has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration
and has been in clinical use since 1989.
The real beauty behind Botox® injections is how casually people go about having
them done. Pain is completely minimal, and no anesthetic is required.
Dr. El-Attar proudly administers all Botox® injections personally here at
