Look younger, smoother and less wrinkled in just a few minutes!

Without a doubt, this year has been very stressful for all of us. Unfortunately, a lot of that worry may have left its mark on your face in the form of wrinkles around your eyes, frown lines around your mouth and creases across your forehead.

These signs of stress — and in some cases, aging — can make you feel older, tired-looking and less attractive than you’d like to be. For my patients who don’t want facial surgery, but who would like to look younger, fresher and less stressed, I recommend Botox, a highly effective way to look years younger and smoother but without surgery or facial scars. To learn about the many other ways I can help you achieve a more beautiful face, click here.

The beautiful things Botox can do for your facial appearance

One of the most popular facial procedures I perform, Botox noticeably improves the appearance of moderate to severe “crow’s feet” lines around the eyes, frown lines around the mouth and vertical forehead creases between the eyes. In addition, when Botox is injected into the lower face and neck muscles, it can improve some of the visible signs of aging in these areas, too. 

What exactly is Botox?

Contrary to what some people think, Botox is not a filler. It is actually a protein produced by a bacteria called clostridium botulinum which, in the small amounts that plastic surgeons like myself use, can safely be injected into a muscle to cause it to relax by blocking signals between the nerves and the muscles. This muscle blocking is what decreases the appearance of wrinkles, lines and creases. Note: Botox cannot decrease wrinkles caused by gravity or sun exposure, only wrinkles caused by squinting and/or muscle patterns.  

What happens during a Botox treatment and how long do the effects last?

Since Botox is a liquid, it is injected with a fine needle into specific muscles. This only takes a few minutes and does not require any numbing medication. A Botox treatment generally takes 3-7 days to take full effect and usually last 3-4 months. After that, as muscle movement gradually returns, the lines and wrinkles begin to reappear and will need to be treated again. However, with each Botox treatment these lines and wrinkles typically appear less visible because they’re actually being trained to relax.

As well as decreasing wrinkles and frown lines, Botox has many other important benefits: 

• Treats migraines
• Manages acne
• Softens the jawline and chin
• Tightens jowls
• Gives a temporary facelift
• Lifts the lips
• Smooths the neck
• Smooths out cleavage
• Mimics a nose job

How much does Botox cost?

Because the texture and appearance of every person’s facial skin is different, and the results they are seeking from Botox are unique to them, the exact cost is determined after I have met with the patient and together, we have decided the number and location of Botox injections that will achieve the best, most natural-looking results.

I am highly experienced in Botox procedures

Having been in practice for over 20 years as a plastic surgeon, I have performed thousands of Botox treatments with outstanding results. I understand how important it is for both women and men to feel good about themselves, and a lot of that has to do with how they feel about their facial appearance. I can confidently say that by “turning back the clock,” Botox can achieve the smoother, younger-looking results they are looking for.
