BOTOX Cosmetic

Why Botox?

Many facial wrinkles are actually creases that have been formed by making the same expression many of times. These “expression lines,” including frown lines, forehead wrinkles, and crow’s feet, are due to the contraction of a muscle under the skin in that area. Using Botox Cosmetic causes the muscles responsible for creating the wrinkles to relax, creating smoother, younger looking skin.  The results are not permanent but lasts an average of four months for most patients.  The patients with the best results are typically, on average, treated three times per year. This allows the skin to stay relaxed and causes the wrinkles to disappear. If at some point you decide to stop Botox treatments, your skin will slowly return to the state it was prior to your first treatment, meaning the lines will slowly return.

Over the next 5-7 days, the wrinkles will start to soften, and your skin will look smoother, younger, and healthier. By two weeks, the Botox has taken full effect and you can enjoy a wrinkle free face for the next few months. As your Botox starts to wear off, you will notice the lines slowly returning. That’s when you know it is time for another treatment!

Platelet Rich Plasma Facial Rejuvenation with Microneedling

Microneedling with PRP stimulates cell growth and collagen production in the skin. The procedure improves skin tone, texture, and cell regeneration that tightens your skin and produces a noticeably youthful glow to your face and neck.

Microneedling stimulates your body’s natural collagen and elastin production with this minimally invasive procedure using very small needles to create micro-channels in the skin to improve skin texture and reduce wrinkles. PRP uses the patient’s own blood, so this eliminates the risk if allergic reaction.
