cosmetic injection of botox to the pretty female
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a specially formulated injectable solution that acts upon the underlying facial muscles. Comprised of diluted botulinum toxin, a neuromuscular toxin that is safe for cosmetic use, BOTOX® paralyzes the specific targeted facial muscles, effectively preventing the area from creasing. If you are self-conscious about the appearance of crow’s feet, forehead creases, or frown lines, BOTOX® Cosmetic may be the perfect cosmetic solution for you. This type of treatment does not involve surgery, so it works well for men and women who are not ready to commit to a more permanent and invasive plastic surgery option, or in conjunction with a more aggressive rejuvenation plan.
BOTOX® Cosmetic has many other medical uses besides wrinkle reduction. One of the most helpful is for controlling Hyperhidrosis, a medical condition in which a person sweats excessively and unpredictably. People with hyperhidrosis may sweat even when the temperature is cool or when they are at rest. Many people who suffer from Hyperhidrosis tell us that they get nervous because they sweat, then sweat more because they are nervous. It affects both men and women.
BOTOX® Cosmetic can be a life-changing, temporary treatment for those suffering from severe underarm sweating. It is FDA-approved for the treatment primary axillary hyperhidrosis. Small doses are injected into the underarm areas to temporarily block the nerves that stimulate sweating. It lasts from 7 to 9 months.
