The long-time darling of the plastic surgery world has a new application. Botox has been identified as a cure in many cases for debilitating headaches and migraines. Rather than winding up the all too common alternative therapies ‘maybe’ bin – the treatment has just been given the nod by the Therapeutic Goods Administration for the treatment of migraines.

This treatment is the number one choice for wrinkle management worldwide, is safe and predictable in the hands of Dr. George Kassar and is an affordable walk in/walk out procedure.

Botox works by relaxing the wrinkle causing muscles that cause people to frown or squint creating an improved appearance. Once the muscle is relaxed, you cannot contract it and continue to make the undesirable facial expression. Thus, the cosmetic injections gradually smooth wrinkles and prevent them from forming again. It has been used by Doctors for over 30 years in millions of people around the world.
It is one of the most studied and researched procedures and has no long term side effects. The active wrinkle prevention ingredient is not absorbed or passed through the blood and is no longer present in the body an hour after injection.

How does it work?
The Botox injections are carefully placed in the muscles that cause the skin to wrinkle. This deactivates a protein in the nerve endings that makes a nerve transmittor chemical that allow the muscles to work. This prevents the nerves from moving the muscle, therefore smoothing the over-lying skin. The major facial muscles keep contracting as per usual so that normal and more desirable facial expressions are unaffected.
