BOTOX®

  • Produced by the clostridium botulinum bacteria responsible for relaxing the muscles.
  • This substance weakens the muscles by suppressing the release of acetylcholine: the neurotransmitter responsible for triggering muscle contractions.
  • Essentially, the botulinum toxins block the signals that would normally tell your muscles to contract. 
  • This mechanism laid the foundation for the development of the toxin as a therapeutic tool for facial spasm, blepharospasm and strabismus in the ’80s, and wrinkles and hyperhidrosis in the past few years.
  •  Most recently, it has been used to correct square jaw lines.
  • Botox® is very safe, and it has been approved by the FDA.
How does Botox® work?
  • Most wrinkles on the face are caused by muscles that are repeatedly over-contracted
    during facial expressions.
  • Botox® injected into these muscles blocks acetylcholine, which induces muscle constriction, temporarily weakening the facial muscles in the area and relaxing the skin’s surface, thereby “removing the wrinkle”.
  • Since Botox® removes wrinkles by paralyzing particular muscles associated with specific facial expressions, there are no complications.
  • Patients usually begin seeing results within 2-3 days; however, to appreciate the full impact of the injections, it takes about a week.
  • Generally, patients getting their first Botox® treatment will find effectiveness will last approximately 4 – 8 months.
  • A check-up may be scheduled one week after procedure, if there is no discomfort.
Am I a good candidate for Botox®?

Botox® is an effective treatment for individuals with over-developed jaw muscles. You are a good candidate if you can feel hard muscles behind your jaws when you look in the mirror and clench your teeth. We can guarantee 100% that your lower face will become oval. If your jawbone is square, usually your jawbone will have to be surgically cut. But strong jaw muscles play a role in the square appearance, too. Hence, if you are too scared to pursue surgical treatment, Botox® may be your best option to considerably improve your facial appearance. The results are usually very satisfying with a single Botox® injection, and a follow-up injection after 3-6 months for long lasting effects.

FILLERS

  • Restylane, Perlane, Juvederm Ultra XC, Juvederm Ultra Plus XC, Juvederm Volume  Radiesse, Bellatero, Sculptra.
  • Fill in and plump up creased and sunken areas of the face, naturally restoring a smoother, more youthful-looking appearance
  • The underlying tissues that keep our skin looking youthful and plumped up begin to break down with age, often leaving laugh lines or facial creases over the areas where this muscle movement occurs.
  • Injectable fillers may be used in conjunction with Botox® to maximize wrinkle removal when Botox® alone cannot resolve the problem.
