San Francisco Botox

Yes, Botox is a form of botulinum toxin and yes, Botox stops facial muscles from contracting. However Botox has proven to be a safe procedure. The FDA approves the use of Botox injections as a safe and effective treatment for frown lines and wrinkles. Plus the amounts of Botox used are so small it poses no serious threats to one’s health. Also when Botox is injected, it prevents muscles that cause wrinkles from contracting. Untreated facial muscles still contract normally and normal facial expressions are unaffected. The most common side effect to Botox injections is temporary bruising. If you have any questions about undergoing Botox treatments, be sure to discuss them with your cosmetic plastic surgeon.
