Botox is a purified protein produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacterium. It is a nonsurgical, physician–administered aesthetic treatment for the temporary improvement of moderate to severe frown lines between the brows.The treatment involves small doses of Botox administered via tiny injections directly into the underlying muscles between the brows to temporarily reduce the muscle activity that causes frown lines. It does this by blocking nerve impulses that trigger wrinkle-causing muscle contractions, creating a smooth appearance.
The entire procedure takes approximately 10 minutes and there is typically no downtime afterwards. Dr. Umar's background as a dermatologist and cosmetic surgeon and extensive experience with Botox® enables him to achieve advanced results like brow lifting and lip rejuvenation.
