Botox

Botox is one of the most popular beauty treatments at Epitome Med Spa, and at spas around the world, because it’s quick, easy, almost painless, and it works. Botox is a brand name for a byproduct of botulinum bacteria that, while toxic if taken internally, can have a very positive effect on the facial appearance when injected into the skin in very small amounts. So the product works by blocking impulses that cause face muscles to contract.

It thereby allows facial muscles to relax which, in turn, can smooth out and even prevent wrinkling and creates. Asa result, Many people think of it as a sort of chemical facelift.
With impacts that last up to four months per injection, Botox is highly effective in the battle against:
-General facial wrinkling
-Fine lines around the mouth
-Crows’ feet
-Lip lines
-Creases near the chin
