Conditions Treated

We use Botox and other injectables to treat conditions that can affect your appearance and self-confidence:

Wrinkles

Wrinkles and crow's feet are a normal part of aging, but we offer proven ways to turn back the clock. 

We use Botox (and the related drugs Dysport and Xeomin) to temporarily treat wrinkles. Botox works by relaxing targeted muscles, like those that cause your skin to furrow and fold when you frown, concentrate, or squint. The corresponding wrinkles then become less apparent and often disappear, starting as soon as 24 to 48 hours following treatment.

Botox is particularly useful for treating:

• Facial expression lines, like the frown lines between the eyebrows
• Horizontal forehead creases
• Crow’s feet around the eyes
• Lines on the upper lip
• Down-turned corners of the mouth
• The brow (the eyebrows are elevated for a non-surgical brow lift)
• Neck wrinkles and muscles (sometimes avoiding the surgeries of the past)

We also combine Botox with fillers for more thorough and longer-lasting wrinkle correction. 

Botox side effects

Botox is a safe and proven treatment. While side effects are uncommon, some patients do experience minor complications. These include:

• Pain, swelling, or bruising at the injection site
• Flu-like symptoms, headache, and upset stomach
• Temporary eyelid droop (after facial wrinkle treatment)
• Very mild hand weakness that goes away within 2 to 4 weeks (after hand sweating treatment)
