Botox & Fillers

Botox® Cosmetic

BOTOX® Cosmetic (Botulinum toxin) is used to reduce the appearance of frown lines, “crow’s feet,” laugh lines and other wrinkles sometimes called dynamic wrinkles.

This procedure is one of the safest available for reduction of wrinkles. BOTOX® Cosmetic and  has been used safely and successfully for wrinkle therapy for almost 10 years. It’s been approved by the FDA for the temporary reduction of fine lines and wrinkles.

It works by physiologically weakening the facial muscles beneath the skin that are related to expression lines. The contractions of those muscles result in wrinkles. BOTOX® Cosmetic works by blocking the impulses from the nerve to the facial muscles thereby relaxing them. The result is that the pull of the underlying facial muscles relax causing the skin to flatten. This results in a smooth, unwrinkled look.

What are the advantages of treating wrinkles with BOTOX® Cosmetic?

  • Reduces wrinkles without surgery
  • No sedation or anesthesia is needed
  • Corrects underlying muscles (as opposed to the skin’s surface or skin’s sub-layer the way peels do)
  • Reduces horizontal creases in forehead and reduces frown lines
  • Minimizes the look of crows’ feet and laugh lines
  • Provides dramatic effects
  • Effects are customizable and reversible
  • Some patients report they no longer get migraine headaches

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers help to decrease facial lines and replenish lost volume and fullness in the face.

As we age, our faces naturally displace and lose subcutaneous fat. The facial muscles are then working closer to the skin surface, so smile lines and crow’s feet can become more apparent.

The facial skin also stretches a bit, adding to this loss of facial volume.

Dermal fillers can be used to:

  • Add volume to lips
  • Fill shallow contours
  • Soften facial creases and wrinkles
  • Elevate recessed scars

Dermal fillers can be integral in those with early signs of aging, or as a part of facial rejuvenation surgery. We carry a full line of volumizing products.
