Want to look your best? Tired of facial lines and wrinkles that make you look older than you really are? Dr. Monica Thoms can offer you the latest treatment option to soften brow furrows and crow's feet.

Botox™, Botulinum Toxin Type A, is a natural purified protein produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacterium. The toxin works by blocking nerve impulses to the treated areas, preventing the muscles from contracting and forming wrinkles. It is now an FDA approved, non-surgical treatment option available to any image conscious man or woman.

A few tiny Botox™injections are all that it takes to relax the muscles between your brows and/or the area where crow's feet form. The procedure takes about 10 minutes and within days, patients see marked improvement in the appearance of the treated areas. The effects last up to four months. No anesthesia is necessary and you are able to return to normal activities immediately. It's a simple non-surgical procedure that doesn't require any downtime now.

Botox™ injections have been used safely and effectively for over ten years. Over the years, thousands of people have been treated with Botox™ for a variety of conditions. Most recently, it has become a very popular and less expensive alternative to plastic surgery and other facial aesthetic procedures.
