Botox®Cosmetic used by the Straith Clinic conveniently located in Oakland County is the trade name of Botulinum Toxin A, a purified toxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. Botox®, in extremely small doses, is injected directly into the specific muscles that cause frown lines. These isolated muscles are paralyzed by the Botox® and can no longer contract. The action of frowning is stopped and frown lines diminish. At the Straith Clinic, Botox® injections are performed by our surgeons.
