INJECTABLES

Botox® is a drug that weakens or relaxes the muscle. In small doses, it can reduce skin wrinkles and help treat some medical conditions. The effects are temporary, lasting 3–4 months.

People often request injections into the following areas of the face: wrinkles between the eyebrows, called frown lines, glabellar lines, or elevens. Also, wrinkles around the eyes, known as crow’s feet, horizontal creases in the forehead, lines at the corners of the mouth, “dimpled” skin on the chin.

Dermal fillers are gel-like substances that are injected beneath the skin to restore lost volume, smooth lines and soften creases, or enhance facial contours. The most common issues dermal fillers can help address are: Smoothing out lines around the nose and mouth (a.k.a. marionette lines, smile lines, and parentheses), enhance & restore volume to sunken cheeks or temples, diminish vertical lip lines, plump & enhance the lips, smooth out a chin crease and improve symmetry among facial features.
