Botox® has become more popular because of the immediate and effective results that it provides our patients.  A large number of people are having Palm Springs Botox injections to regain a more youthful appearance.

New technologies and increased scientific study brings the proverbial laboratory to you.  Botox® treatments are one of those new innovations. A lot of press about how successful Palm Springs Botox treatments can be has been circulated on Television, Radio and other media.

Palm Springs Botox, a relatively new treatment which consists of Injections or Spray-on applications of Botox®, comes from the trade name for botulinum toxin A.  Botox®, is a popular non-surgical injection that temporarily reduces or eliminates frown lines, forehead creases, crows feet near the eyes and thick bands in the neck. The toxin blocks the nerve impulses, temporarily paralyzing the muscles that cause wrinkles while giving the skin a smoother, more refreshed appearance. Studies have also suggested that Palm Springs Botox is effective in relieving migraine headaches, excessive sweating and muscle spasms in the neck and eyes.

Botox® was first applied in tiny doses to treat crossed eyes and uncontrollable blinking.  Cosmetic benefits of Palm Springs Botox were quickly realized when the frown lines between the eyebrows appeared to soften following treatment for eye muscle disorders. The increased potential of Palm Springs Botox as a cosmetic treatment led to clinical trials and subsequent FDA approval in April 2002.
