Botox® Cosmetic

Botox Treatments in Aurora, CO

Botox Treatments (Botox® Cosmetic) are a botulinum toxin type A. When administered into overactive facial muscles, the botox treatment works to relax and prevent the facial muscles from contracting. By preventing muscle contractions, wrinkles appearance are lessened and future wrinkles which are typically caused from overused muscles are reduced.

What are the Benefits of Botox Treatments?

The benefits of Botox are vast, but here are some of the top ones:

1. Reduce Excessive Sweating
   The medical condition, Hyperhidrosis, in which a person sweats excessively and unpredictably can help be treated with botox injections. Botox can prevent brain patterns from directing certain sweat glands to be activated. This can be helpful for patients who sweat excessively in their arm pits, feet or hands.
2. Reduce Migraine Pain
   Botox treatments do not completely stop migraines, however, they do reduce the pain from them and some of the side effects they cause. Injections can help reduce symptoms like sensitivity to light, nausea, and the pain caused from migraines.
3. Treats Drooping Muscles / Drooping Brow
   Have you ever been accused of having a resting angry face or maybe you’ve always known it? The cause may be Brow Ptosis or drooping brow, which cause patients to look unhappy, angry, or even tired. Administering Botox helps in relaxing brow muscles and keep them aloft.
4. Stop Eye Twitches and Squinting
   It’s safe to say that most eye twitches are usually a temporary annoyance or you may just need to eat some potassium (banana’s are a great source!), but in some cases taking measures like this does not help or the issue keeps reoccurring. Other times muscle spasms can cause the eye twitching to become permanent. Botox can help those muscles relax, so you can better focus on your day-to-day tasks.
5. Treatment for Paralyzed Muscles
   Individuals who may be paralyzed or has bells palsy utilize Botox injections to help relax facial muscles that might have tightened up and have become painful during paralysis. Administering botox treatments helps relax movements on the dominate side, helps provide a more balanced look on the face, and helps prevent unwanted facial ticks.
