What Are BOTOX® & Wrinkle Relaxers?

First FDA-approved in 1989, BOTOX has been used medically and aesthetically for decades and has become a staple at medspas worldwide. As a highly versatile, non-invasive treatment, BOTOX and wrinkle relaxers are engineered with botulinum toxin type A, which temporarily blocks nerve impulses to selected facial muscles. With the muscles relaxed, the skin smooths out, appearing more youthful.

In addition to its cosmetic applications, BOTOX can treat a variety of medical concerns, including excess sweating, migraines, spasms, and an overactive bladder. Aesthetically, BOTOX and wrinkle relaxers can combat the following issues in addition to erasing dynamic lines:

Masseter muscles that give the lower face a boxy appearance
Sunken brows
Bunny lines
Chin dimples
Downward-facing corners of the mouth
Neck bands (“tech neck”)

“highly recommend her for any plastic surgery you may need”

Dr Rokosz is one classy person!

She listens patiently, tells you what you need to hear and does not waver in her stance on things. I asked her opinion on outcome to expect for a procedure i was entertaining to get and I was disappointed in what she said. She understood that it wasn’t what I wanted to hear but she held her ground and was empathetic. It’s hard to want one thing but reality is not always the outcome we want!

She never makes you feel pressured into any kind of decision and is supportive in helping you figure out what will be best for you! I just love her and highly recommend her for any plastic surgery you may need. I am 3 weeks PO from an arm lift and breast lift …both are doing quite well! As i said ..one classy lady!!
