Botox can be used to reduce wrinkles and fine lines of the facial appearance. Fillers are substances that soften wrinkles when injected into the skin.

Overview

Botox is a toxin, but when used correctly it has cosmetic and medical benefits.

- Horizontal creases on the forehead
- Lines at the corners of the mouth
Medical
- Cervical dystonia
- Chronic migraine

Fillers
The skin texture changes over time, and as a byproduct of aging, wrinkles and fine lines develop. Cosmetic injectables can restore volume, shape, structure, and minimize the signs of aging.
