Botox Atlanta: 3 convenient locations serving all of metro Atlanta

The most common cosmetic procedure performed in the United States is Botox injections. Botox is derived from the bacteria called Clostridium botulinum. The brand Botox is purified Botulinum Toxin type A distributed by Allergan. It works by blocking the signaling mechanism the body uses to communicate between a nerve and its underlying muscle.  This blockade is reversible and the muscle recovers function in 4-6 months.

Botox helps eliminate the wrinkles in your skin by temporarily blocking the underlying muscles from making the wrinkles. Botox can be used as a preventative measure to help soften and prevent wrinkles as you age.

The FDA has approved Botox for the wrinkles on the forehead, between the brows, around the eyes (crows feet), and around the mouth.

To successfully inject patients with Botox your injector needs to fully understand facial anatomy and the underlying muscles that control your facial movements. Dr. Yalif personally injects all of his patients and he is fully trained and board certified in Plastic Surgery.
