BOTOX®

Maintaining a youthful appearance has become an accepted part of mainstream American culture.

Dynamic lines usually appear between the eyebrows, on the forehead, and at the outside corners of the eye in the “crow’s feet” region and may suggest that someone looks is worried, tired, or angry. An effective, safe, nonsurgical, treatment for dynamic lines is now available.

Botox exerts its effect by blocking the impulses from the nerve to the facial muscles responsible for the development of dynamic lines.

Following a Botox injection, the muscles gradually become relaxed, allowing the overlying skin to appear smooth and unwrinkled. Untreated muscles are not affected by a Botox injection, allowing normal facial expression to be unaffected. The cosmetic denervation treatment is simple and safe.

A tiny microneedle is used to deliver a minute, exact amount of Botox into several locations on the face. Because the needle is so fine and the amount of liquid injected is so small, the pain associated with injections is minimal.

Sedation or anesthesia is not required, and there is no special recovery Period necessary. Mild bruising may occur at injection sites, but they may be easily covered with makeup. The result of the injection usually becomes apparent within 2 to 4 days.


Blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty may be performed on the upper and/or lower eyelids to lift drooping lids or improve sagging or baggy lower eyelids, making the eyes appear brighter, fresher, and more alert.

Our CO2 laser has revolutionized blepharoplasty “Eyelid Surgery.”

When used to perform upper eyelid blepharoplasty, the laser is used to cut the skin of the upper eyelid so that the excess may be removed. The laser produces less postoperative swelling and bruising, allowing patients a quicker return to work or social activities. The laser skin incisions are hidden within the natural crease present in the upper eyelid and, in the majority of cases, heal without a visible scar.0

Lower eyelid blepharoplasty is generally performed from the inside of the eyelid so that a skin incision may be avoided. The laser is used to remove the unsightly “bags” in a quick procedure that does not require stitches. The skin of the lower eyelid and/or face may be resurfaced during the same session.
