Martinsville NJ, November 7, 2014 — Reflections Center for Skin & Body (www.reflectionscenter.com) notes that the year was 1989 when a Botox treatment was approved by the FDA to treat strabismus (crossing of the eyes). The case for Botox cosmetic treatment was discovered when doctors treating strabismus noticed that, in many older patients, wrinkles and fine lines in the skin around the eye would soften and even disappear. Botox treatment was approved for cosmetic use in 2002 for the treatment of glabellar lines (the vertical lines that occur between the eyebrows).

Today, Botox treatment is used to reduce or eliminate crow’s feet and all manner of wrinkles and lines in the upper part of the face. During its use, Botox has had an unprecedented record for safety and efficacy. What’s more, it has changed the way doctors approach facial rejuvenation.

Before Botox, it was routine for a woman to receive a facelift in her fifties. Today, Botox delays the need for facelifts, often by a decade or more. Combine Botox treatment with conservative use of fillers and fraxel laser therapy and it is often possible to eliminate the need for facelifts entirely!

Given how well it works, we’re certain that Botox will enjoy another happy and healthy 25 years.
