What is
Botox?
Botox (Botox Toxin Type A) is purified
neurotoxin-complex. It is made by the bacterium clostridium
botulinium. Botox can provide a simple way to enhance your
appearance. When we are in the process of thinking or are involved
in a project we may appear angry or upset to an observer, but in
reality we feel fine. Botox can soften facial wrinkles and furrows.
Botox provides a "chemical brow lift" with a non-surgical approach
to facial rejuvenation. Botox is usually repeated two times per
year. A surgical brow lift does not last forever either. Botox is
relatively painless with few side effects. In a few days your face
will appear smoother and enhanced. It only takes minutes for a Botox
treatment. Visit us at Dr. Al Rustom's Skin and Laser Clinic
at your earliest convenience.
What is a Chemical
non-surgical brow lift?
A chemical non-surgical brow lift is
done with Botox. Minute amounts of the drug are injected into the
wrinkled areas of the brow or crows feet. The procedure is done with
needles so small to insure minimal discomfort. Botox begins to
inactivate the expressive muscle that leads to wrinkling within 2 to
3 days and continues to work up until the 10th day to complete your
"chemical brow lift." No down time, no swelling, no bleeding, and no
recovery time.

problem.
