BOTOX^®

Restylane^®

BOTOX^® is most effective in treating the type of lines and wrinkles caused by muscle contraction during facial expressions such as frowning or squinting. Common areas for BOTOX^® injections include horizontal forehead furrows, vertical lines between the eyebrows and "crow's feet" around the eyes. BOTOX^® is injected directly into the muscles in the areas to reduce their activity.  Usually within a few days after your injections, the expression lines in the treatment areas will appear noticeably softer.

Have you considered improving your appearance but are not sure how to do it?  Have you thought about having cosmetic surgery but don't want a “big” procedure?

BOTOX^® is just the answer for you!  BOTOX^® without question is the fastest growing procedure performed by cosmetic surgeons.  It is often the first step for someone considering cosmetic surgery for facial lines but who is not quite committed to or yet in need of a surgical procedure.

BOTOX^® simply relaxes the lines away!  BOTOX^® weakens certain facial muscles which through repetitive use over the years cause lines, wrinkles, and furrows.  It is particularly useful to reverse "frown lines" in the forehead, creases between the eyebrows and "crow's feet" wrinkles around the eyes.

BOTOX^® is administered by an injection which causes only mild discomfort and the entire procedure is completed in minutes.  There is no need for a local or topical anesthetic.  You can return to work the same day; in fact, the injections often are given during lunch breaks.  The beneficial effects are apparent in three to four days and last an average of four to six months.

The results are dramatic and you will be thrilled with your appearance and there's no "recovery" time!  BOTOX^® also becomes less frequently needed, because your face learns how to express itself without overly using muscles.

So, when should you first start using BOTOX^®?  There is no minimum age - it depends more on your amount of wrinkling and how much it bothers you. Most individuals who come in for BOTOX^® are in their thirties or early forties.  But if you're starting to develop lines due to facial expressions as early as your twenties, obviously the sooner you begin the better chance you will have to avoid them.

And BOTOX^® is completely safe.  It has been used for years for cosmetic purposes and for decades for other medical purposes.  Originally used for eye doctors to relieve eye spasms and crossed eyes, doctors started to notice their patients also experienced decreased wrinkling - and a phenomenal cosmetic treatment was born!

You should always inquire about your doctor's experience with BOTOX^®.  In skilled hands, BOTOX^® should enhance your facial expression while removing unwanted wrinkles.
