The repetitive contraction of underlying facial muscles that happens every day may lead to crow’s feet, laugh lines, and frown lines as we age. Botox® Cosmetic injections provide a non-surgical way of reversing some of these visible signs of aging. Dynamic lines occur with every smile, laugh, or frown.
These can lead to wrinkles that are present even when you are not expressing emotion. Botox® works by blocking the nerve impulses to the wrinkle producing muscles so they do not contract. As a result, the overlying skin will be smooth and unwrinkled. The untreated muscles will allow for normal facial expression to remain unaffected. The treatment is simple with minimal discomfort, requires only a few minutes, and you can immediately resume normal activity. Our doctors will administer very precise injections into the areas selected for treatment. The results will be apparent in a few days with continued smoothing of the skin occurring for a few weeks after the first treatment.
You will still be able to laugh, smile, or frown, but without the wrinkles. The duration of effect is between four and six months, and long-term maintenance of smooth skin can be achieved by repeated treatments.
(Botulinum Toxin A) is FDA approved to treat facial muscles that cause wrinkles and frown lines. Although approved in US in 2009, it’s been used in Europe since the 1990s. Therefore, it’s safe and effective. Similar to Botox, it treats dynamic wrinkles – those wrinkles and lines that are caused by muscle movement. Dysport is injected directly into the muscles that cause wrinkles and relaxes these muscles so that they can’t contract. This, in turn, relaxes the frown lines and wrinkles. Dynamic wrinkles and lines are caused by repeated movements of facial muscles over time. These cannot be prevented by diet, hydration, skin care, or exercise. Genetics play a big role in development of these wrinkles – some patients develop frown lines in their twenties, while others are perfect well into their fifties. Our doctors often recommend treatment with Dysport for those patients that want to prevent these lines in the first place. The main use of Dysport is to decrease or erase moderate wrinkles and lines in the glabella, forehead, and smile lines around the eyes. It can also be used to treat neck lines, known as bands. Dysport, like Botox, can also make one look less tired, angry, or worried, and make one look more refreshed, younger, and more youthful. The beauty of Dysport is that it’s a soft change, so your friends and family may not even realize that you’ve “had work done.” Instead, patients often tell our doctors that their friends and family think they simply look better, less tired and more refreshed. Our doctors will discuss your beauty goals before the injection to ensure that the treatment will help you achieve the desired effect.

Xeomin® is a cosmetic injectable which was originally developed to correct muscle spasms in the neck and back. The safe formulation is composed of botulinum toxin A and when injected into troubled areas prevents muscle fibers from contracting. Xeomin® corrects wrinkles formed by muscle spasms, facial contractions and repeated movements. Our doctors recommend Xeomin® to patients with mild to moderate wrinkles who are of average health.

Your customized treatment plan is designed by our doctors to help you obtain the best results for your individualized concerns. Prior to your Xeomin® treatment, our clinical team will thoroughly cleanse and apply a cooling pack to your skin for optimal comfort throughout the treatment session. Next, your doctor utilizes a sterile syringe to administer the neurotoxin to precise target areas. The procedure will last for around 15 minutes, after which you may return to your daily activities. We advise patients refrain from exercise for 4 hours following Xeomin® injections to promote optimal healing.
