BOTOX®
Facial Fillers (improving skin texture)
What is a BOTOX® Injection?
"BOTOX® injection" or "botox shot" is the term most widely used to describe the procedure of administering BOTOX. BOTOX injections utilize Botulinum Toxin Type A to treat wrinkles. BOTOX injections are widely used to remove facial lines, especially frown lines, "crow's feet", and forehead lines.
What is a BOTOX® treatment?
"BOTOX treatments" or "BOTOX injection treatments" are a therapeutic muscle-relaxing agent that works at motor nerve endings (nerves that lead to muscles). BOTOX Cosmetic is used for the temporary improvement in the appearance of moderate to severe glabellar lines (frown lines).
Recovery after Botox
There is generally no recovery period. You can go directly back to your normal activities.
What are cosmetic surgery fillers?
Facial fillers are injections which fill out wrinkles or uneven areas of the face. They include Restylane, Collagen, Perlane, Sculptra, and even your own tissues taken from another part of your body.
Many of us notice fine lines developing on the face in our thirties. These can often be the result of muscular activity or sagging. The lines that form on your face are areas where the body's own collagen has thinned and broken, leaving a depressed line.
The wrinkles around the eye can often be due to muscle activity and may be improved with Botox. If the lines are very deep or are due to skin sagging, e.g. the lines that run from the nose to the corners of the mouth (nasolabial folds), then a filler may often soften or sometimes eliminate the line. The filler is injected into the skin itself to plump up the depressed line in the skin. When the lips are injected, we place the filler on the inside of the lip to turn it out a little.
