Botox (OnabotulinumtoxinA) is an FDA-approved injectable prescription medicine by Allergan used to improve common signs of aging such as facial wrinkles and lines. When injected into the facial muscles, Botox can temporarily relax facial muscles and smooth frown lines, crow’s feet, forehead lines, and eyebrow furrows. The experienced Botox providers at AYA are experts in administering Botox injections to achieve beautiful, natural, and more youthful-looking results.

FAQs About Botox
Is Botox safe?
In clinical trials, Botox has been proven a safe and effective way to reduce the appearance of facial lines and wrinkles by causing temporary muscle weakness or paralysis.

What else is Botox used for?
In addition to cosmetic uses in dermatology, the effects of Botox and other botulinum toxin products can treat a range of medical conditions, including rosacea, chronic migraine, hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating and severe underarm sweating), overactive bladder, urinary incontinence, neck pain caused by cervical dystonia, limb spasticity, blepharospasm, strabismus, and the muscle spasms and muscle contractions associated with certain neurological conditions.
Who should not get Botox injections?
Botulinum neurotoxins like Botox should not be administered to pregnant or breastfeeding women, as it is unknown how they may affect the fetus.
