What is BOTOX®?
This medication is a brand-name prescription drug made from purified botulinum toxin, derived from the Clostridium botulinum bacterium. It works by blocking nerve signals that trigger muscle spasms and contractions, keeping muscles still so the skin over them can relax. This can help prevent facial wrinkles or temporarily smooth out those that have already developed, but the results aren’t permanent because the human body eventually metabolizes the active ingredients in the injections.
In large doses, this drug can cause dangerous or fatal paralysis, but only a small, safe amount is included in injectable cosmetic treatments.
Who Is a Good Candidate for BOTOX®?
Anyone who wants a more youthful look may benefit from this service, and it’s considered safe for most patients as long as a licensed professional, like Dr. Jackson, administers it. But before proceeding, our team will need to update your medical history and list any current prescriptions or supplements you take regularly to avoid potential negative interactions.
Then, we might recommend this procedure to address different areas of concern, including:
- Crow’s feet at the corners of the eyes
- Horizontal forehead lines
- Smoker’s lines at the lips
- Creases between the eyebrows
- Lines extending from the corners of the mouth
- Muscle spasms
BOTOX® can also sometimes effectively address TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders by allowing the jaw muscles to fully relax and recover.
The Benefits of BOTOX®
This popular treatment provides several helpful benefits, such as:
- Non-surgical solution. Jackson can use these injections to help you build a younger smile without surgeries or incisions.
