BOTOX Injections and Dermal Fillers in McLean VA
Botox is the fastest-growing cosmetic procedure in the United States. It's popularity is due in large part to it being affordable when compared to surgical alternatives to attain a more youthful appearance. Botulinum Toxin Type A (Botox Cosmetic) is a protein complex produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, which contains the same toxin that causes food poisoning. When used by Dermatologists and Cosmetic Surgeons as an injectable form of sterile, purified botulinum toxin, small doses block the release of a chemical called acetylcholine by nerve cells that signal muscle contraction. By selectively interfering or paralyzing the underlying muscles' ability to contract, frown lines are smoothed out and, in most cases, are nearly invisible in a week. Results may vary but the procedure usually lasts four months before follow up BOTOX treatments are needed.
