Botox
Botox is a purified bacterial protein that can be injected into certain facial muscles to relax their contraction. Relaxation of these hyperdynamic muscles results in smoothing of wrinkles. The most popular areas for treatment include the glabellar area (frown line), crows’ feet, and horizontal forehead lines. Effects last an average of 3 months. Advanced uses of Botox include vertical lines on the upper lip and prominent neck cords (platysmal banding). In addition, Botox is very effective for treatment of excessive sweating of the hairline, palms, soles, and underarms. Treatment is performed by the physician.$12.50 per unit
