Laser and Injectables - Should have done it sooner!
This was my first experience with any type of injectables/laser treatments. I felt at ease with the physican and staff. They were very friendly and made me feel welcome. The gave me a tour of their facility, which was very clean, modern. I am no longer a botox virgin! My frown line has diminished, little by little, each day! I also had laser treatments for my eyes and for a vericose vein on my thigh. You wouldn't believe the results after just one treatment! I wish I had the pictures to share with you. Anyway, I highly recommend this establishment...why wait...make an appointment now! I wish I would have made my sooner!

Botox®
Botox, Dysport® and Xeomin® (neuromodulators) are brand names of botulinum type A. The repetitive contractions of our facial muscles creates lines, frowns and wrinkles over the years.
These neuromodulators inhibit the nerve signals going to the muscles causing muscle relaxation, less lines and wrinkles providing a softer and younger look. The effect is temporary (3-6 months) and repeated injections are needed to maintain the effect.
Additional Facts
Who is a good candidate for Botox®?
Overall healthy patients who want to decrease facial wrinkles and lines. There are other applications for neuromodulators to treat excessive sweating, migraines, muscle stiffness to name a few.
What are Botox® contraindications?
We recommend avoiding the procedure in severe or uncontrolled systemic diseases, connective tissue disease, malignancy, unrealistic expectations, local skin pathology and pregnancy.
Note: A contraindication is a condition or factor that serves as a reason to withhold a certain medical treatment due to the harm that it would cause the patient.
How is this procedure performed?
- Topical anesthetic is applied and the skin is cleaned with alcohol.
- The neuromodulator is injected using a very small needle.
- Gentle massager is used to distribute the neuromodulator evenly.
How long does the effect last?
3-6 months
What should I expect during recovery?
- Very minimal swelling and bruising might occur
- It is important to avoid sleeping, bending over, exercise or rubbing the treated area for at least 4 hours after the injection to avoid migration of the neuromodulator to other muscles (e.g. causing lid droop).
Where is the scar?
There are no incisions or scars.
