Botox 

Botox Cosmetic® is an injectable treatment for wrinkles caused by repeated
movements. The area most commonly treated include:

• Horizontal lines across the forehead
• Crows feet
• Lines between the brows
• Bunny lines in nasal area

BOTOX® Cosmetic is the only approved treatment to temporarily improve the appearance of both moderate to severe frown lines between the brows and crow’s feet lines in adults.

FDA approved Botox® Cosmetic is one of the top requested treatments available. Botox temporarily relaxes the muscles, improving the appearance of moderate to severe crows feet, lines above and between the eyebrows.

BOTOX® Cosmetic contains tiny amounts of a highly purified botulinum toxin protein refined from the bacterium, Clostridium botulinum. Formulations, potency, and approved doses vary among botulinum toxin products, which means that one product cannot take the place of another. Those are a few reasons why there is no such thing as a “generic” form of BOTOX® Cosmetic. There have been no studies to support that other products are Unit-to-Unit equivalent to BOTOX® Cosmetic.

Approximately 10.9 million vials of BOTOX® Cosmetic have been sold in the United States since 2002, and millions of people have already made BOTOX® Cosmetic a part of what they do for themselves. Today, BOTOX® Cosmetic is the #1 selling product of its kind in the world.

Wrinkles result from a combination of many factors. It’s not just about cellular changes that can occur over time, reduction of collagen, or damage caused by free radicals in the sun and the environment. When you frown or concentrate, the muscles between your brows contract, causing your skin to furrow and fold. And when you squint, the muscles around your eyes contract and cause crow’s feet.

BOTOX® Cosmetic targets one of the underlying causes of frown lines and crow’s feet—the repeated muscle contractions from frowning and squinting over the years. Dr. Malek will inject these muscles with BOTOX® Cosmetic to temporarily reduce muscle activity. You will begin to notice a visible smoothing of your crow’s feet lines and frown lines between your brows.

Dr. Malek has been performing Botox® Cosmetic injections since it was approved by the FDA in 2002. Since then, he as perfected the placement of the product to obtain the best results possible. Every patient evaluation discusses what options would be best for that individual. Each have different facial expression and function. Botox must to be injected into the proper muscle groups depending on the individual needs.

Please remember not all injectors are created equal. Dr. Malek is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who understands facial anatomy and creates natural and balanced results. While many practices tend to have nurse injectors, Dr. Malek himself evaluates and performs each treatment.
