Botox® Cosmetic Injections - San Francisco
Botox® has been used therapeutically for over 16 years to treat a variety of medical conditions. It is approved in more than 75 countries and remains the most-studied botulinum toxin and one of the most widely researched medicines in the world. Botox® has been FDA approved for cosmetic use since 2002.
It is a purified protein administered by a series of tiny injections directly into muscles that cause frown lines. The Botox® then relaxes the muscles thus reducing the frown lines.
