Treatment

Administered by board-certified dermatologist, Dr. Yolanda Lenzy, Botox is typically used to treat crow's feet, forehead furrows, frown lines, and other fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes, and nose safely and effectively, typically offering results that last for several months.

Botox is a type of neuromodulator that is derived from a toxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. It works by relaxing the muscles that cause wrinkles and fine lines, resulting in smoother, more youthful-looking skin. Botox is injected into the skin in small amounts, usually around the eyes and forehead to treat dynamic wrinkles, which are formed by repetitive facial expressions.

Neuromodulators, like Botox, are a class of compounds that work by blocking the signals between nerve cells, thereby reducing muscle activity. They have become popular with patients for their ability to smooth wrinkles and lines, providing a more youthful appearance without surgery or scars.
