Botox® Cosmetic
We used to believe that wrinkles were as certain as death and taxes, but not any more. Botox® Cosmetic, the popular fix for celebrities and everyday people alike, is now accepted as a safe, effective treatment for wrinkles on the forehead, between the eyebrows (frown lines), and in the "crow's feet" areas of the face.
Unlike injectable fillers such as Restylane® and fat transfers that simply fill in wrinkles or depressions, Botox® Cosmetic works by weakening the muscles that surround wrinkles so that the muscles relax and the overlying skin flattens, resulting in a smoothed, relaxed, and natural-looking appearance.
Dr. Taki performs Botox® Cosmetic injections himself, carefully selecting the precise area of injection for the best results possible. Because the paralysis of the facial muscles is temporary, re-injection is usually necessary within 3 to 6 months.
