botox therapy

BENEFITSImagine getting many of the benefits of a surgical facelift without the inconvenience. While it stands to reason the the results will not be permanent, the only real hassle is a return to the office. Fortunately, those office visits are not that frequent. Botox, which famously works wonders to minimizes crow’s feet and forehead wrinkles, only needs to be injected every 6 months. Some injectables are semi-permanent, meaning that they can last for years without the need for additional treatments. Juvederm works beautifully to pump folds up from below. The deep folds around the mouth that are the result of a million smiles, bites of food, and conversations with friends can be treated very effectively with Juvederm. Lastly, the fat beneath the neck, the dreaded double-chin, can be reduced with a series of Kybella injections. Kybella works by physically destroying fat cells in the areas in which it is injected.

DESCRIPTIONBotox is for crow’s feet, forehead wrinkles, and the frown line between the eyes. While there are others uses, these are the most widely used. Juvederm has wonderful “plumping” properties and be used to add volume to any area of the face, especially the folds around the mouth and to thinner lips.

RISKSAll surgical procedures carry risk. Anyone undergoing surgery must understand that even though the odds of a major event are small, risks from surgery are real. Whenever the skin is broken, there is the possibility of infection, necrosis, swelling, bruising, scarring, discoloration, nerve damage, itching, hematoma, allergic reaction, rejection, pain, etc. Our goal is safety. We use a local anesthetic to decrease the risks associated with general anesthesia. We have you back for several post-op visits to monitor your healing. We are open 7 days each week and are accessible via email. We work together to keep the risks reasonable and small.
