Botox® is renowned for its effectiveness in enhancing facial aesthetics by temporarily improving the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines between the brows, horizontal forehead lines, and crow’s feet in adults. Sourced from nature, Botox® involves small amounts of highly purified botulinum toxin protein derived from the bacterium, Clostridium Botulinum. At Inner Glow AestheticsMD in Avon, CT, Botox® is a trusted and safe anti-aging solution.
As a trusted and safe anti-aging solution, Botox® has been FDA-approved since 2002 for both cosmetic and various medical applications, including migraine relief, treatment of excessive sweating, uncontrollable blinking, TMJ disorders, and more. At Inner Glow AestheticsMD, we leverage Botox® to not only reduce wrinkles and fine lines but also to enhance facial symmetry and achieve a youthful, glowing appearance.
Botox® operates by temporarily relaxing the targeted muscles, thereby smoothing existing wrinkles and preventing the formation of new ones. It effectively treats both static wrinkles—visible even when the face is at rest—and dynamic wrinkles, which appear during facial expressions. The result is a naturally rested and rejuvenated appearance. Additionally, Botox® is known for reducing pore size, enhancing the skin’s overall radiance.
Treatment begins to take effect within 72 hours after administration, with full results visible in about two weeks. The enhancements from a single Botox® session can last between 3-4 months.
Botox® injections are suitable for both men and women who aspire to maintain a youthful and refreshed look as part of their self-care routine. Whether you are looking to prevent the onset of wrinkles with a subtle brow lift or a lip flip, or are more than 30 years old seeking to manage aging signs, Botox® offers a tailored solution. We also offer ‘Baby Botox’ or ‘Microbotox,’ which utilizes smaller doses to refine skin texture and impart a smooth, glowy finish.
Targeting the glabellar complex muscles with 3-5 injections, Botox® softens the frown lines and beautifully contours the eyebrows.
We ensure a smooth forehead while maintaining natural facial expressions, avoiding any asymmetry or brow droop. Follow-up adjustments are made two weeks post-injection to perfect the look.
Delicate injections into the areas lateral to the eyes relax the orbicularis oculi muscle, smoothing out the lines that form from squinting.
Inspired by Queen Nefertiti, known for her elegant neck, this treatment targets the platysmal muscle to uplift the lower face, smooth the neck, and elevate the corners of the mouth for a happier appearance.
Botox prevents nerves from activating the muscles, allowing them to relax and the skin to appear smoother.
With over two decades of successful treatments, Botox is a safe choice for cosmetic and medical uses.
Results typically last 3-4 months, with longevity depending on the dosage administered.
It is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding individuals, those with certain neuromuscular disorders, or previous allergic reactions to Botox.
