The substance most people know by the trade name Botox® is actually a compound called botulinum toxin. Clinical uses for this FDA-approved injectable substance include relief of migraine-induced headache pain, reduction of excessive perspiration, and treatment of muscle spasms. Though it is technically a toxin, its medicinal uses require such extremely low dosages that side effects from its toxicity are rare or nonexistent.

In its cosmetic applications, Botox has proven one of the most popular and effective treatments available for reducing facial wrinkles, including crows feet, frown and worry lines. Botox works by blocking nerve impulses in the facial muscles that contract and cause wrinkles, causing a patient’s skin to appear smoother and more youthful. The treatment is temporary and loses its effectiveness in four to eight months.

Botox injection is just one of several non-surgical wrinkle reduction treatments offered by Dr. Lohner and his staff. He can advise you on the best treatment option for your particular case.
