Botox
Aging happens to all of us, but fortunately there is a way ways to reduce facial wrinkles and lines and get back to that younger-looking you. One of the most well-known for lessening wrinkles around the eyes, frown lines, and forehead furrows is Botox. Botox is made up of botulinum toxin type A which has been approved by the FDA. Injections of Botox act to block muscular nerve signals, which then weakens the muscle so it can’t contract. The end result is diminished unwanted facial wrinkles.
After years of habitual facial expressions such as smiling or frowning, grooves, lines and wrinkles begin to appear as the results of repeated muscle contractions. We call these “dynamic” wrinkles. Genetics, family history and lifestyle habits (such as smoking or sunbathing) also contribute to these “dynamic” wrinkles and creases. Dr. Peter Abramson at Rhinoplasty Atlanta has successfully performed thousands of treatments using Botox, Dysport and Xeomin.
Using Botox is a simple procedure but can provide some of the most dramatic results for giving you a more youthful appearance. You can expect to see results in just a few days after treatment. The appearance of the treated areas may continue to improve over time as the wrinkle relaxes and soothes with full results seen is five to seven days.

4. Treatment effects will be noticed as little as 24-72 hours after injection.
5. Treatment results typically last 3-6 months.

7. Treatments cannot improve wrinkles or folds that are not related to muscle contractions.
Why Botox is the Best
Botox, produced by Allergan was the first on the market and approved by the FDA in 1989.
Botox was the first out and thus has become a household name when it comes to describing an age reducting procedure that reduces line and wrinkles. Dr. Abramson, who specializes in cosmetic injectables uses Botox in conjunction with facial fillers such as Restylane, and Juvederm which are facial volumizers. Many patients become confused as to what injectables to use and where. Dr. Abramson is happy to explain and will most often suggest which he feels are best to use for the individual patient.
