Introduction
BOTOX® is an FDA-approved temporary wrinkle reliever, a popular non-surgical cosmetic procedure. It instantly blocks nerve sensations and can temporarily paralyze fine muscles in the skin. This lack of muscle movement and contraction manifests as reduced visibility of fine lines and wrinkles. With new advancements, BOTOX® is now also used for functional goals such as migraine relief and reduction in excessive perspiration. Award-winning and triple board-certified facial, cosmetic, and general surgeon Dr. Grace Valina of Grace Surgical Arts offers BOTOX® & Wrinkle Relaxers in Coral Gables and the greater Miami area.

BOTOX®, short for Botulinum toxin type A, is a non-invasive muscle-relaxing agent that aims to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines in target areas of the body. This agent works by weakening certain muscles or by blocking certain nerves. The results are temporary, lasting about three to twelve months, depending on what you are treating. Several areas can be treated in a single appointment.
