Cosmetic denervation is a procedure used to improve the appearance of worry lines, frown lines, crow's feet, laugh lines, and other so-called dynamic wrinkles.  Dynamic wrinkles occur when we smile, laugh, or frown, and the delicate muscles underlying aging skin contract. In cosmetic denervation, botulinum toxin (Botox) is injected into these muscles. Botox works by weakening these tiny facial muscles very precisely.  After treatment, the overlying skin remains smooth and unwrinkled while untreated facial muscles contract normally, allowing normal facial expression to be unaffected.

  Though cosmetic denervation is a relatively new treatment for dynamic wrinkles, Botox injections have been safely and effectively used for over a decade for many neurological and ophthalmological disorders.   Thousands of Botox injections are performed each year for a variety of conditions and has emerged as an exciting new treatment for ameliorating the visible consequences of aging.
