Chances are you’ve heard about BOTOX® before…especially if you have fine lines and wrinkles you’ve been thinking about addressing. BOTOX Cosmetic is a very popular FDA-approved neurotoxin that’s been proven time and time again to effectively smooth lines and wrinkles caused by repeated facial expressions, all for the sake of providing a more youthful, rejuvenated appearance. Droves of people in Northern Kentucky and the Greater Cincinnati area choose regular injections of BOTOX to ward off the unwanted effects of aging.

How does BOTOX smooth lines and wrinkles?  

BOTOX (aka onabotulinumtoxinA) is injected into the desired area of the skin where wrinkle reduction is desired. When administered by a skilled injector, BOTOX binds to nerve endings in the muscle to temporarily stop the specific contractions that cause pesky wrinkles to form. Moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet, forehead lines, and other facial wrinkles are then noticeably reduced or eliminated temporarily, causing your skin to appear smoother and more refreshed.

Who is a good candidate for BOTOX?

Adults of all ages in generally good health who are experiencing moderate to severe wrinkles are usually good candidates for BOTOX injections. Many men and women in their 40s, 50s, and 60s looking to regain a more youthful appearance flock to get BOTOX, but this skin-smoothing treatment is also becoming a more common among people in their 20s and 30s to prevent lines and wrinkles before they even can occur (a growing trend referred to as “pre-juvenation”)
