Want People To See Your Face Instead of Your Wrinkles? Botox® Is A Beautiful Solution

Want People To See Your Face Instead of Your Wrinkles? Botox® Is A Beautiful Solution

Look younger, smoother and less wrinkled with Botox

Over the course of their lives, many of my patients have developed crow’s feet around their eyes, lines around their mouth and wrinkles across their forehead. When they look in the mirror, these inevitable signs of aging make them feel less attractive than they’d like to be, and they come to me asking for help. For those who do not want facial surgery, I recommend Botox, a highly effective way to look years younger 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 face

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 as well. 

Is Botox safe? Yes and here’s why

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 physicians use, can safely be injected into a muscle, causing it to relax by blocking signals between the nerves and the muscles. It’s this “muscle blocking” that decreases the appearance of wrinkles, lines and creases. However, it’s important to understand that Botox cannot decrease wrinkles caused by gravity or sun exposure—only those wrinkles caused by squinting and/or muscle patterns.  

What happens during a Botox treatment?

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 is often used to achieve these other important benefits: 

  • Treat migraines
  • Manage acne
  • Soften the jawline and chin
  • Tighten jowls
  • Give a temporary facelift
  • Lift the lips
  • Smooth the neck
  • Smooth out cleavage
  • Mimic 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.
