Raleigh Plastic Surgeon Dr. Michael Law explains Botox and provides information on finding a safe, effective treatment of Botox in Raleigh NC. BOTOX is a protein complex that interferes with muscle contraction. BOTOX has been safely used for many years. It has been approved by the FDA for cosmetic use, and since that time has been marketed as BOTOX Cosmetic. In Raleigh NC Botox has become one of the most popular procedures in Dr. Law's Raleigh plastic surgery practice. In Dr. Law's Raleigh Plastic Surgery Medical Spa, patient seek reduction or elimination of wrinkles. Many facial wrinkles and creases are active lines caused by muscle contraction, which can be blocked by BOTOX injection.

Areas of the face that respond well include 'crows feet' lines around the eyes, vertical frown lines between the eyebrows, and transverse lines on the forehead. In some instances, BOTOX can be used to soften nasolabial folds and vertical upper lip lines, and even to elevate the nasal tip.

Permanent improvement in facial wrinkles and creases can be accomplished with a variety of techniques, including non-invasive collagen remodeling, laser resurfacing, structural fat grafting and surgery. Not all wrinkles are appropriate 'targets' for BOTOX, so the evaluation and treatment of every face must be individualized.

What about Raleigh BOTOX parties'?

BOTOX is a medical product and should be administered in a medical setting. A 'party' is not the appropriate setting for a medical treatment, particularly an injectable one. The 'BOTOX party' that is held outside of a medical setting is a marketing strategy used to promote the treatment and to perhaps make it less intimidating to the general public.
