Botox for Cosmetic Purposes
Are you looking to reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles? Botox is the leading cosmetic treatment nationwide for smoothing forehead lines, crow’s feet, frown lines, lip lines, and “cobblestone” skin on the chin. At Cascade Mind & Body Clinic in Redmond, Oregon, we provide expert Botox injections to help you achieve a refreshed and youthful look. Botox does not treat wrinkles caused by sun damage or gravity but is effective for dynamic lines caused by muscle movement.
How Botox Works
Botox is a brand name of a toxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. This toxin, called Botulinum, is very deadly. However, when used appropriately and in a therapeutic context, it is safe and beneficial.
Botox works by targeting the nervous system. It blocks signals from the nerves that cause muscle contractions. The injected muscle in turn can’t contract. This makes the wrinkles relax and soften.
