BOTOX® Cosmetic (onabotulinumtoxinA) Important Information
What is Botox?
As we age, a lot of things begin to happen to our skin that can stop us from looking our best. At times a Botox treatment can be the solution to these problems. BOTOX® Cosmetic is a prescription medicine treatment that is injected into muscles and used to improve the look of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines) in people 18 to 65 years of age for a short period of time (temporary).
Benefits of Botox Treatment
While Botox treatments are primarily used for anti-aging practices, like its ability to reduce wrinkles on the skin, there are many other medical benefits of the treatment. From cervical dystonia to chronic migraines, Botox treatments can be a lifesaver for pain and discomfort.
At Waterford Wellness Spa, we utilize Botox treatments to rejuvenate and revitalize your skin which can prevent new wrinkles from forming. Once the treatment is applied, our clients won’t be able to consciously or unconsciously move the muscles that created the wrinkles in the first place. The clients receiving the injections are less likely to create wear and tear patterns that create new wrinkles and deepen existing wrinkles. We are proud to offer these treatments to the Midland, Odessa, San Angelo, & Abilene, TX communities.
