In todays world of Facebook, FaceTime, and Instagram, it is mortifying to see pictures of ourselves that show every facial wrinkle and frown line. To make matters worse, everyone has a smart phone and we cant delete the bad photos! Thankfully, modern medicine has developed a whole arsenal of non-surgical rejuvenation products to help fight the march of time (and those pesky wrinkles).
Regardless of how careful you are in applying sunscreen, drinking water, and eating right to preserve youthful-looking skin, it is inevitable that wrinkles and lines will develop. Smiling, squinting, frowning, and even eating can lead to one of the most common signs of aging: wrinkles. No one is immune!
One of the easiest and most popular options for removing these wrinkles and lines is with injections of Botox®. For over 25 years, Botox has been the main weapon in the cosmetic battle to help prevent and reduce the appearance of unsightly wrinkles.
Botox is an effective and powerful medication and one of todays most common cosmetic procedures. Botox was first used to improve the appearance of moderate-to-severe frown lines between the eyebrows, but now the cosmetic use of Botox is widespread. Botox is used as a wrinkle treatment to smooth everything from our crows feet to our forehead creases.
Besides lessening the appearance of those unsightly facial wrinkles, Botox may also be used to treat hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating), especially in the underarm area. In addition, Botox was recently approved for treatment of chronic migraines when injected into the head and neck. There are still many emerging uses for Botox.

Every time a person frowns, smiles, eats, or squints, facial muscles contract and move the skin. To reduce the lines and wrinkles, Dr. Hester uses a very small needle to inject Botox into the muscles responsible for the wrinkling. Basically, Botox blocks the signals that would normally tell your muscles to contract and causes these muscles to relax. In application, if an area of the body cannot move, then it cannot wrinkle. The skin on top of the muscle then becomes smoother, resulting in a refreshed and rejuvenated appearance. When injected into the muscles surrounding the brow area, for instance, those muscles are paralyzed, so the wrinkles in that area temporarily relax and soften.
