BOTOX




Wrinkles and expression lines like worry lines, frown lines, laugh lines, and crow’s feet are all part and parcel of growing up. Some people take it in their stride and in some cases they want a cosmetic correction to do away with these lines.

Botox is a known, minimally invasive, and medically safe cosmetic solution to treat facial wrinkles and unwanted lines.

Botox not only helps in reducing skin wrinkles but also helps in treating some medical conditions like eyelid spasms, excessive sweating, some bladder disorders, and migraine.

When Botox is injected, it blocks the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter resulting in paralysis of the local muscles.
