  • Expertise using Botox to treat wrinkles, such as frown lines and crow’s feet.
  • Expertise using Botox to treat excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) of the armpits, hands, and face.
  • Fast treatment with minimal pain and downtime.
  • Treatment available in a comfortable, private, easy to reach setting.

What Is Botox?

Overview

Botox is a drug safely derived from a tiny amount of purified natural toxin from a form of bacteria. It temporarily but effectively treats wrinkles such as frown lines and crow's feet.

Our doctors have the training and experience to safely inject Botox, giving you a more youthful look while preserving your natural appearance and facial expressions.

We also use Botox to treat excessive sweating (a condition known as hyperhidrosis). Some patients say the treatment effect is like turning off a dripping faucet.

While Botox is the main option we use, we also offer other formulations of botulinum toxin upon request.

What to Expect from Botox Treatment

Many of our patients who want a more youthful appearance or seek treatment for excessive sweating choose Botox over traditional surgeries.

Botox is a proven treatment that offers several benefits:

  • Quick (15 minutes for wrinkles, no more than 30 minutes for excessive sweating)
  • Safe
  • Long-lasting (4 to 6 months for wrinkles, 4 to 12 months for sweating)
  • Relatively painless
  • No downtime, and no risk of scarring
