Botox

You’d be hard-pressed to find someone that hasn’t heard of BOTOX, but are you ready to give it a shot? Our team at Nubo provides the opportunity to experience all of its skincare benefits. We are pleased to offer BOTOX® Cosmetic, one of the most effective and popular medical aesthetic services in the industry. 
Our skincare team, led by Jen Guthrie, is highly skilled in the application of BOTOX. Let’s further analyze the details and see how it could help you maintain the supple and healthy look you desire. 

Getting To Know Botox

Based on BOTOX’s active ingredient—the botulinum toxin, which is a bacterium named Clostridium botulinum—BOTOX is known to temporarily reduce facial lines and wrinkles. This particular neurotoxin is the patented botulinum Type A, and it’s not new to the world of cosmetics. In fact, botulinum type A has been used in medicinal and cosmetic procedures since the 1920s. It’s also used in Dysport®, which we also offer at Nubo.  

Manufactured by Allergan, BOTOX Cosmetic is a prescription injectable solution administered to the area of concern with a fine needle. Along with the natural aging process, one of the most common culprits of wrinkles is the continual contraction of your facial muscles, but BOTOX temporarily reduces muscle activity in the forehead and around the eyes. 

As a result, the muscle contractions are relaxed, smoothing visible signs of aging around the eyes and forehead, which means that there’s a reduction of fine lines, wrinkles, and forehead furrows. 

How It’s Used

In the beginning, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved BOTOX for treating eye and muscle spasms. Soon after, BOTOX was praised for its impressive cosmetic value. BOTOX injections block nerve impulses sent to muscles, weakening them to the point where they cannot contract, which temporarily eliminates moderately severe furrows and lines. Here are some common uses:

Beyond facial aesthetics, BOTOX is also known to treat these additional health concerns:

Process Of Elimination

Members of our supporting team of specialists delicately inject BOTOX directly into muscles that cause furrows and lines. Receiving the injections doesn’t require the use of an anesthetic; instead, we can numb the targeted area with ice packs or topical anesthetic cream. The procedure allows you to resume normal activities immediately after treatment. 

Results are typically seen within three to five days following your treatment, and long-term results can last up to four months.

Am I A Candidate For Botox Injections?

Candidates for Botox injections are men or women who would like to achieve a more youthful facial appearance, or who would like to ward off wrinkles by using Botox as a preventative treatment. Ideal candidates for Botox injections should meet the following requirements:
