Botox, short for Botulinum Toxin Type A, is a popular injectable treatment with a surprisingly wide range of cosmetic and medical applications. At AIVI Aesthetics in Agoura Hills, we expertly use Botox for both aesthetic and therapeutic purposes. Here’s what you need to know:
- What is Botox? Derived from a purified protein, Botox temporarily relaxes targeted muscles through a controlled process. This targeted relaxation is a versatile solution to various concerns.
- Cosmetic Uses:
- Wrinkles: Botox expertly minimizes the appearance of dynamic wrinkles โ lines etched into your skin from repeated expressions like frowning or smiling.
- Facial Contouring: Reshape your jawline, subtly lift areas, or treat specific concerns like a “gummy smile”.
- Medical Uses:
- Migraines: Botox is FDA-approved for preventing chronic migraines, significantly reducing their frequency and severity.
- Muscle Spasms: Conditions like eyelid twitching (blepharospasm) find relief with Botox.
- Hyperhidrosis: Excessive sweating (often in underarms) responds tremendously well to Botox.
- Overactive Bladder: Improve bladder control and reduce urges with Botox injections.
Let AIVI Aesthetics in Agoura Hills help you discover the transformative power of this safe and effective treatment!
