What is Botox®?
Dr. Stanley Skopit describes Botox® as a cosmetic injectable used at Dania Dermatology to combat dynamic wrinkles caused by muscle tension.
How does Botox® work?
Botox® is a neurotoxin that works by temporarily paralyzing the muscles in the treated area. When injected into the skin, it blocks the nerve signals that tell the muscles to contract. In doing this, it can help reduce lines and wrinkles caused by muscle movements, such as frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead creases.
Botox® is made from botulinum toxin, which is produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. It is entirely safe to use for reducing dynamic fine lines and wrinkles due to the natural aging process and muscle movements on the face. This FDA-approved cosmetic injectable has been used for years to help patients look younger and feel more confident in their appearance.
Can men be treated with Botox® injections?
Yes, men can enjoy Botox® injections. In fact, the number of men getting Botox® injections is on the rise. While Botox® is most commonly associated with reducing the appearance of wrinkles, it can also be used to treat a number of other conditions, including migraines, excessive sweating, and muscle spasms. We find that both men and women come into our office asking about Botox® injections when seeking an anti-aging solution that doesn’t require plastic surgery. Botox® and other aesthetic injectables are available at our practice for patient use.
