Nobody wants to grow old. When we look at ourselves in the mirror and notice wrinkles, lost facial volume and gray hairs, it can really have a negative impact on our overall mood, sometimes even stopping us from doing things that we normally love to do.

It is no wonder why so many people look for ways to maintain a youthful and refreshed appearance. As such, medical science is constantly creating products that are designed to slow down the aging process and in some instances, even reverse the physical effects that aging has on our appearance.

Fortunately, BOTOX® exists as a way to address frown lines between the eyebrows, crow’s feet, brow lines and horizontal forehead lines. This amazing injectable is designed to temporarily reduce the muscle activity in a treated area, resulting in less visible dynamic wrinkles.

BOTOX® can be used for conditions other than aging as well, making it a versatile treatment. It is often used to address certain muscle spasms, excessive sweating and migraines, amongst other conditions.

Although the results of BOTOX® are temporary, they are long-lasting. They can last for up to six months! However, this varies from person to person. Follow-up appointments are encouraged to maintain your youthful and refreshed appearance.

BOTOX® treatments are pretty straightforward. Dr. Beth Collins, MD is proud to be an Allergan National Trainer, so you can be sure that you are getting the best treatment possible at our office in Guilford.
