Botox for Lines & Wrinkles

Botox Cosmetic™ has been widely used for many years, reducing specific signs of aging in men and women. This solution was the first in a line of products developed to address lines and wrinkles on the face, neck, and hands. Botox™, in particular, is typically used on the upper part of the face, though patients may also choose this injectable solution to decrease the appearance of lines on the neck, or for excessive sweating.

Initially, the solution on which Botox™ is based was used for therapeutic purposes. Through those cases treated for neurological disorders that caused muscles spasms, a secondary use was discovered.

The lines and wrinkles that form on the upper part of the face, around the eyes, and on the forehead come from repetitive facial movements. Throughout our lives, we contract certain muscles when we laugh, frown, squint at the sun, or express a variety of emotions. In time, the lines that appear when muscles are actively being used remain present even when the face becomes relaxed.

Injecting the Botox™ solution into constantly contracted muscles between the brows, on the forehead, or around the eyes, minimizes their strain. The wonderful side effect of muscle relaxation is the marked decrease in lines and wrinkles.

Though a very common anti-aging beauty treatment enjoyed by both men and women, there are particular aspects of Botox™ that can create some degree of risk. The wisest choice is to consult a board certified physician for treatments. Dr. Ron Shelton has decades of experience and has been using Botox™ and other injectables for many years. His expertise allows him to identify the areas in which Botox™ will produce the greatest effect without inhibiting facial movements to a point where the appearance becomes unnatural.
