Botox is an effective option for both cosmetic and medical applications, with recent studies suggesting botox may even help reduce jaw clenching, migraines and hyperhidrosis. Widely accepted as an anti-aging treatment, botox has not only been proven to smooth existing wrinkles, but to also prevent future wrinkles and fine lines from forming.

If you are considering botox, it is important to choose a Botox licensed provider. BOTOX® Cosmetic approves licensed physicians and practices that have been thoroughly trained on injecting BOTOX® and have a vast knowledge of facial anatomy and aesthetics. Botox with your Dermatologist or Medical Spa is highly recommended.
