What is Botox® or Botulinum Toxin A and what does it do?
Botox® is a purified toxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. Botox®, in extremely small doses, is injected directly (non-surgical) into the specific muscles that cause:

• frown lines
• forehead crease
• wrinkles near outside corner of the eyes (crows feet)
• Duration of Results: Variable; a few months to 6 months

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 board certified American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) surgeons.
