What is Botox® and How Does it Work?
Derived from the naturally-occurring bacterium Botulinum, Botox® works by restricting the expansion of facial muscles, effectively impeding the formation of wrinkles caused by muscle movement, like crow’s feet or frown lines. Botox® is issued to the body through direct injection to the targeted muscles in the area in need of treatment. The process typically takes a quick 10 to 15 minutes with the effects being visible for up to six months afterwards in an optimal situation.
Why is Botox® Special?
Botox® is known by some as a “Facelift in a Bottle” due to both its efficiency and simplicity. A non-surgical process, Botox® is a popular treatment worldwide for men and women for nonsurgical wrinkle relaxation. The treatment is typically comfortable enough to be performed without the use of a numbing agent or anesthetic. In addition to being such a brief process, the Botox® treatment also requires no downtime. This means that the patient will be unimpeded as they go about their business for the rest of the day following the treatment.

Injectable Fillers
As we age, the effects of gravity, sun damage, and loss of facial volume begin to show. Our tissues lose the collagen scaffolding that keeps skin supple and helps resist wrinkles and creasing. The results are those unwanted signs of aging including lip lines, nasolabial folds (smile lines), jowls, and facial hollowing. Soft tissue fillers can correct lip lines, add fullness to your lips and cheeks, and soften your nasolabial folds. In some instances, dermal fillers can stimulate new collagen growth to further correct the signs of aging and help you achieve a smoother more youthful appearance.
