Botox
Do people ask you, “Why are you mad? What’s wrong?” Even though you are not scowling, do you look angry all the time? Time, normal wear and tear, and sun exposure can take its toll on your skin. Repetitive movement of your skin from normal, daily, expressive facial movements leaves you with creases and lines in your skin a rest. Many patients tell us, “I look mad all the time. Help!”
We can help, by injecting very minute amounts of botulinum toxin into the small muscles of your face. This will temporarily immobilize these muscles, and allow your skin to rest and the creases will relax and disappear. In general 20 units in used to treat between the brows, 12-16 units for the forehead and 8-12 units for crows’ feet around the eyes. Two to four units are injected per site (i.e. – the brow is a total of 5 injections of 4 units/site). You will have small red bumps for 20-30 minutes after your treatment.
Treatments are recommended every 3 - 4 months initially, but the more regularly you receive treatments, the longer they will last! We have patients that are treated every 6-9 months. Imagine, one to two treatments a year and goodbye wrinkles!
Not only can Botox rid you of wrinkles, but we can use it to lift your brow, make your lips appear fuller, turn your frown into a smile, rid you of the dimply chin and much more! Just ask! If you have never tried Botox, you will LOVE it! We did after our first treatment! If you have had Botox treatments before, nothing more needs to be said! Call us.
