Botox
Botox Cosmetic is a popular anti-aging injectable available from Dr. Andrew’s practice in Fort Lauderdale, FL. It is very similar to Xeomin and Dysport.
The active ingredient in all three formulas is botulinum toxin, which softens muscles to smooth overlying skin.
Botox is FDA approved for the treatment of:
​
-
Lines around the eyes (crow’s feet)
-
Lines between the brows (frown lines, 11’s)
-
Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating)
TURNING BACK THE CLOCK WITH BOTOX
​
Are you seeing frown lines when you look in the mirror? This is one of the first signs of aging, and it is bothersome for many people. Fortunately, a simple injectable treatment can improve or eliminate these lines. Botox smooths the skin by relaxing underlying muscles.

TREATMENT OF EXCESS SWEATING
Hyperhidrosis is a common condition that can cause discomfort and embarrassment. Over the counter antiperspirant products may not be strong enough for many people. Additionally, these products are impracticable or impossible for areas other than the underarms. Botox injections can control overactive sweat glands in the armpits, palms of the hands, and anywhere else that heavy perspiration is a problem.
