At Mariposa Medical Aesthetics we offer Botox® to treat fine lines and wrinkles around the face and neck. By injecting small amounts in specific muscle groups, we can achieve the desired result while maintaining a natural appearance. One of the biggest misconceptions about Botox® is the results will be unnatural. While this is certainly possible with over application, the goal should be to look refreshed and like yourself.
Does Botox® scare you? There are numerous myths and assumptions associated with Botox®, as well as other neurotoxins.
Botox® injections use a dilute toxin called Botulinum Toxin A to temporarily prevent a muscle from moving. When injected in different areas around the body a desired effect can be achieved. Most commonly, Botox® is associated with the cosmetic application to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Botox® can also be used to treat tension headaches, overactive bladders, eye muscle imbalances, overactive sweating in areas such as the underarms/hands, muscle contractions such as cerebral palsy, and what seems like new applications, which are discovered all the time.
We also offer Botox® to treat TMJ and the pain associated with it. By injecting Botox® into the large muscle that helps your jaw clinch, we can help decrease your ability to clinch and grind your teeth.
Another fun Botox® application we offer is in the underarms to stop excessive sweating. It is hard to feel confident and like yourself, with underarm sweating. It can be a debilitating problem for many people, and with applications every four to six months, our patients refer to the treatment as life-changing!
As we get closer to the holidays season, I encourage you to treat yourself to a consultation to see if Botox® is the correct step to address your concerns, or give the gift of Botox® to your loved ones this Christmas! In our spa, we like to say Botox® is better than diamonds anyway. From the Mariposa family to yours, Happy Holidays!
