Botox

Botox is a purified protein produced by a bacterium (Clostridium botulinum) that in small amounts injected into facial muscles works by blocking the nerve’s ability to activate the muscles. This produces a relax look that eliminates or softens wrinkles for several months. At Takahashi Facial Aesthetics we use Botox to primarily treat the lines that commonly appear around the eyes (“crow’s feet”), forehead, and between the eyebrows (“frown lines”).  You will start to see the effects within 3-4 days with the maximal effect seen by 2 weeks.  The results last between 3 and 6 months. The entire session takes less than 15 min and the tiny injections are not generally visible 10-15 min after you leave our office so you need not worry about others knowing that you just had a treatment.  Our goal is to provide you with a refreshed, natural look, and not a “frozen” or artificial look.
