 Why choose a dermatologist for your skin rejuvenation treatment?

Dermatologists are trained and experienced in the use of a wide range of surgical, cosmetic, and non-surgical methods to repair and improve the function and appearance of your skin. They are experts on how skin ages which uniquely qualifies them to employ a variety of both corrective and preventative techniques to keep skin healthy and youthful looking. Dermatologists pioneered many of the treatments used today to preserve and maintain this very visible part of your body, including Botox® therapy.

What is BOTOX®?

By injecting tiny amounts into a specific facial muscle, only targeted impulse of that muscle will be blocked, causing a local relaxation and weakness. In this way, it acts as a muscle blockade to immobilize the underlying cause of the unwanted lines and prevent "wrinkly" expressions. It has been used since 1980 to treat many muscle disorders, such as lazy eye, eye ticks, and uncontrolled blinking. Today we can treat wrinkles without surgery or scars and without any "down time." The effects take place 3-7 days after treatment. The results last 3-6 months, and than will gradually fade. Repeated treatments usually produce longer lasting results.

Are there any side effects?

Side effects are minimal and are typically related to the injection site. Make-up may be worn after treatment, but care should be taken to avoid pressing of massaging the area for several hours. You need to remain upright for several hours after the injection.
