Botox®
Botox helps soften lines and creates a refreshed appearance by relaxing muscle movement. As we age, we begin to develop more wrinkles and creases around the eyes, forehead and mouth. This is often the result of a breakdown in collagen and elastin fibers beneath the facial surface. Squinting, frowning, smiling, exposure to sun and smoking contribute to creation of these lines. Botox has become one of the most popular and effective treatments to reduce lines, prevent new ones and give patients a more youthful appearance. It is carefully injected directly into the muscles of the targeted area, such as the forehead, between the eyebrows (glabellar lines) and around the eyes (crows feet), in an outpatient procedure that takes just a few minutes. Results are visible within four days and the effects typically last three to four months. Dr. Zwick, our oculoplastic surgeon and award-winning “Top Doc,” and Dr. Mehta, carefully evaluate each individual’s appearance and performs all injections.
