Benefits of New Jersey BOTOX® Treatment

The benefits of a New Jersey BOTOX® treatment are numerous and not just relegated to dealing with frown lines on the forehead. BOTOX® Cosmetic, the product name of Botulism Toxin, was first designed for people with involuntary facial tics who required something that could relax that specific area of the face without rendering the entire face unable to move. The key it seemed was paralysis….temporary paralysis.

By injecting BOTOX® Cosmetic into the specified area of the face, scientists found that the toxin could block nerve transmissions to the face and create a temporary paralysis that would prevent the muscles from contracting. Quite accidentally they also found out one of the great benefits of BOTOX® treatment was its ability to minimize furrows and brows on the face and neck by eliminating muscle contraction, a discovery that completely transformed the Cosmetic Dermatology field. The Fountain of Youth had been discovered.

But BOTOX® Cosmetic doesn’t simply smooth out the existing furrows on the face and forehead. One of the biggest benefits of a New Jersey BOTOX® procedure is, by reducing muscle contraction, it can also prevent new wrinkles from forming. And as BOTOX® treatments become more and more frequent the injected muscles begin to atrophy, leading to a longer period of time needed between treatments.

Perhaps the biggest benefit of BOTOX® treatment is the fact that it’s not permanent. If there is any reason someone does not like it, the effects will disappear in a matter of weeks. But for those who find it useful, it is another great Dermatological advance that allows people to look younger and healthier without the expense or permanence of Cosmetic Surgery.
