What Are BOTOX® & Wrinkle Relaxers?

BOTOX is an FDA-approved treatment for smoothing out soft lines and wrinkles. It is a neuromodulator injected into muscle tissue, causing it to relax and allowing the skin to retain a smooth appearance. When injected by an experienced and licensed aesthetician or plastic surgeon, BOTOX removes creases and wrinkles while still allowing the patient to express emotion comfortably.

BOTOX may not be as effective for deeper wrinkles or patients with excessive sun-damaged skin. Please schedule a consultation with Kachare Plastic Surgery in Greenville, NC, to learn whether BOTOX suits your aesthetic goals.
