Botox® and Dermal Fillers to enhance lips and reduce or remove fine lines, wrinkles or facial creases.

Botox ® is one of the most popular temporary wrinkle removal techniques available. It works by relaxing the facial muscles which contract and cause wrinkles to develop such as frown lines between the eyebrows and crows feet. Over time these wrinkles become permanent even when you are not frowning. Following Botox ® you will see how the wrinkles smooth out over the next few days and restores your face to a more youthful and relaxed look.

Dermal fillers can be injected into the laugh lines (labial nasal fold) that stretch from the nose to the side of the mouth. Fillers can be used to increase the volume of your lips, giving a more healthy and vital appearance. Unlike collagen injections, these second generation fillers are not based on animal extracts and have no risk of allergic reactions.  

Botox® is a naturally occurring purified protein that blocks the muscles from contracting. It only affects the area where it is placed. Botox® Cosmetic injections can reduce the signs of aging by reducing the muscle activity and wrinkles of the eyebrow and forehead. The reduction of frown lines is especially effective. BOTOX® has been used safely for over 20 years and has been FDA approved for facial wrinkles since 2002.

Dynamic facial wrinkles are caused by contractions of the muscles of the face every time you express emotions. The more expressive you are, the deeper these wrinkles and lines are likely to be. These lines may be misinterpreted as anger, anxiety, fatigue and, of course, aging. Fillers and surgical procedures such as browlift and eyelid lift can tighten the skin and muscles around these lines, but do not address the underlying muscle pull, which eventually deepens the facial wrinkles. So for dynamic facial lines from overactive muscles of the upper face, BOTOX® is usually the best treatment.

The treatment takes 10 minutes and we use the tiniest needles available therefore BOTOX® treatments typically have minimal discomfort. Results are noticeable within 72 hours and may last 3-4 months. You may return to normal activities immediately.

Patients may elect to repeat BOTOX® treatments when it fully wears off. However, if the face is re-treated as soon as the muscles start to move, the facial muscles never regain their “memory”. After a number of re-treatments the interval between may become longer. Did you know?

BOTOX® is now for more than just treating wrinkles. For example, the face can be “sculpted” by raising or lowering eyebrows to enhance your look. BOTOX® is an excellent complimentary procedure to overall facial rejuvenation. It can be used alone or in combination with facial fillers and skin care home treatments to laser resurfacing. The number of applications is ever increasing.
