Kiss your unwanted wrinkles goodbye with Botox. Cosmetic doctors and nurses are using a bacterium called botulinum toxin that produces Botox. This bacterium is actually the same substance that causes the food illness. While it sounds scary, the toxin is purified before use and is used in very small and safe amounts. Botox is used for facial creases and treating wrinkles. Botox helps erase forehead lines, crow's feet and other fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes. Botox can also be used around the mouth to reduce the appearance of wrinkles or drooping.

Botox is injected with a very fine needle into certain muscles. Botox is used to block signals from the nerves to the facial muscles. Basically, the Botox causes these muscles to become paralyzed. Because these muscles cannot move to form winkles, your skin stays smooth. People who used Botox love it because there is very little discomfort associated with the treatment and they look amazing and wrinkle free after treatment. The downside of Botox is the need for recurring treatment; the results last about three to four months. Most individuals need a few treatments in order to maintain results. Botox costs somewhere between $300 and $500 per area or $8-$12 per unit in the Scottsdale and Greater Phoenix area depending on the facility and each person requires a different number of units depending on the patient.
