Botox is the 21^st century’s magic wand against aging. In one appointment, without great expense, pain, surgical intervention or the possibility of scarring, this revolutionary anti-aging treatment can take twenty years off your face.  

Botox, a wrinkle-removing treatment delivered by injection and derived from a bacteria called Clostridium botulinum, was first discovered in the 1950’s when researchers noted that patients who used it for strabismus (crossed or “lazy” eyes) and uncontrollable blinking suddenly shed crow’s feet and frown lines, often for up to six months. In 2002, new formulations for cosmetic use were approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and Botox, under various trade names, swept the cosmetic procedure industry.
