Botox Cosmetic Injectable Treatment

Botox is a cosmetic injectable treatment that visibly smooths and softens moderate to severe frown lines between brows (glabella), horizontal forehead lines (frontalis), and the outer corners of eyes (crow's feet). These lines result from muscle movement and the passage of time. After years of facial expressions, those lines start to linger longer and can become more pronounced. Sun and environmental exposure, skin care and genetics all play a role in the severity of wrinkles. MedCosmetic has been treating men and women throughout the Kansas City area with Botox since 1999. Your nurse injector will evaluate your facial structure as well as the severity of your lines to determine the appropriate amount of product needed.

How does Botox work? Aging skin and wrinkles result from a combination of many factors. Cellular changes, collagen depletion, hormone loss, or damage caused by free radicals all contribute to wrinkles. Constant muscle contractions from facial expressios also contribute. After years of frequent contraction, those wrinkles can linger even after the muscles are at rest. Botox is a neurotoxin that is injected directly into the muscles and works by blocking nerve impulses. The muscles relax and do not contract, causing a smoother and more youthful appearance. Botox treatment takes less than 30 minutes and has no downtime. You can see improvement within days, with full results occurring in approximately 2 weeks. Results typically last up to 4 months.

What is the difference between Botox and Dysport? Dysport is also a popular and safe neurotoxin. Overall the two are very similar in how they work and how long they last. Our knowledgeable medical staff can advise you on which product might be best for you.

Botox - a proven treatment for severe underarm sweat.
Botox is also highly effective in controlling excessive underarm sweating. For some patients topical medicines do not work well enough. Excessive sweating is known as hyperhidrosis. Botox is injected into the underarm to temporarily stop the production of excessive sweat. When the sweat glands don't receive chemical signals, the severe sweating stops. Where does the sweat go? Your sweat doesn't go anywhere or get backed up because the sweat simply is not produced in the areas treated with Botox. The rest of your body is free to produce moisture normally. Results typically last about six months.
