BOTOX® Treatment and Injections in Austin, Texas

Botox Cosmetic is a simple, non-surgical procedure that smooths the deep, persistent lines and wrinkles that develop over time.

Botox is a neuromodulator that utilizes a natural, purified protein administered at very low doses to reduce the contractions of the muscles that cause the persistent frown lines that develop over time. While results are significant, it will not radically change your facial appearance. The muscles are simply relaxed, so you can still frown, smile, or look surprised without the wrinkles and creases. Injecting Botox into targeted facial muscles can minimize even the most stubborn of wrinkles, leaving the skin looking smoother and more youthful.
