Botox Cosmetic Injections And Nefertiti Lift



With age the effect of gravity and the excesses of life cause the cheek pads to travel south, and as a result the jowls form, and viewed in profile, the skin seems to run in a continuous flat sheet from cheek down to jawline to neck. Part of the reason for this is also the effect of the pull of the neck muscles (the platysma and its bands) to drag down skin to the neck.


Botox cosmetic injections offers the Nefertiti lift, which is a series of injections that are given to the jaw line and the platysmal bands, so that the downward pull of these muscles is less, and the skin of the cheeks is pulled back upwards, thus enhancing the jawline. Nefertiti was a famous Egyptian queen who ruled more than 3000 years ago, and her face and jawline were well known symbols of beauty.

Botox For Frown Lines

Botox for frown lines - before and after photos














Ever seen people rushing around with frown lines in between their eyebrows? Such a pity. They look so unpleasant. And yet they go on in life, oblivious to the effect they have on others. Not knowing that people avoid them, fearing confrontations. The frown line is not one that welcomes friendship easily, not unless the offerer of the hand knows that the owner of the frown is actually a decent sort of chap. Unfortunate is the salesman who walks around with a frown line. The hoped-for sale is going to be a long way off.

There is hope. Botox, or commonly known also as Botax, a purified toxin of the bacteria Clostridium botulinum, is available. In skilled hands, all that is needed is a few units of Botox or Botax into certain muscles in the face, and voila, the frown lines are gone for at least 4 to 6 months.
