What is Botox?

Botox is a purified protein that has the ability to relax muscles into which it is injected. This relaxation may be partial or complete, depending on the amount of Botox used and on the relative strength of the muscle into which it is injected. The relaxation produced by Botox is temporary and will gradually fade as the treated muscle will gradually 'wake up' over time

Which wrinkles can Botox treat?

There are two different types of wrinkles on the face: static wrinkles and dynamic wrinkles. Static wrinkles are present even with complete stillness and lack of expression on the face. Dynamic wrinkles are those that appear or become significantly more apparent with facial expression. Botox is ideal for treatment of dynamic wrinkles of the face and is used to relax those facial muscles whose excessive action causes wrinkling of the skin. For example, the deep lines between the eyebrows (frown lines) are the most popular treatment sites. Other areas which can be improved with Botox are the crow's feet and the horizontal forehead lines.

Who is a candidate for Botox?

Any person who wishes to minimize the aging process around the eyes and forehead region with minimal down time is an appropriate candidate for Botox injections. There is no minimum or maximum age for Botox treatments for an adult. Botox is not recommended for women who are pregnant or are nursing.

All You Need To Know About Botox

Choose An Ideal Botox Treatment Right For You

If you have lines forming in the corners of your eyes or on your forehead, Botox can give you an almost immediate softening of wrinkles in these areas with no downtime after the procedure.

Botox can soften the lines on your face, making you look years younger, better refreshed or even more pleasant.

Normal Activities Can Be Resumed Right Away

The beautiful thing about Botox is that there is no recovery time. It truly is a "lunchtime" procedure. You can come in, have it done and head right back out to work. The only restriction is that you will be asked not to lie down or massage the injected area for at least 4 hours after the treatment and avoid strenuous exercise for at least 24 hours.

Juvederm

Juvederm is a hyaluronic acid gel that is injected beneath the skin to smooth wrinkles and folds on the face. Some of the main components of healthy skin are water, fat, collagen, and hyaluronic acid. Specifically, hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring sugar found in the human body.

The role of hyaluronic acid in the skin is to deliver nutrients, hydrate the skin by holding in water, and to act as a cushioning agent. Therefore, Juvederm injections add volume to the skin, and restore a naturally smoother appearance to the face.

Restylane

The Restylane family of injectable facial fillers are instant volumizers based on hyaluronic acid, a naturally occuring gel and have been in use since 1996. Hyaluronic acid is a polysaccharide (a natural sugar) that is found largely in the skin. Its primary function is to provide volume and pliability to the skin. As we grow older, our skin loses volume and begins to develop changes recognizable as volume loss, wrinkles and folds. Some of the main components of healthy skin are water, fat, collagen, and hyaluronic acid. There are a number of injectable cosmetic fillers available to help improve upon one's facial appearance and achieve a more youthful look without plastic surgery. These fillers restore the lost volume and smooth out skin wrinkles.

Botox Hyperhidrosis (also known as underarm sweating)

Frequently Asked Questions

What is hyperhidrosis?

Hyperhidrosis is a condition in which you sweat a lot more than your body needs to. Sweating serves a purpose, allowing your body to keep from overheating, but hyperhidrosis causes you to sweat even when you're sufficiently cool. Symptoms usually affect one or two body areas, such as your feet, head, palms, or underarms, possibly causing you to struggle with embarrassment of daily activities.

What causes it?

Limitless sweating may be genetic or can be caused by an injury, certain medications or dietary supplements, or a medical condition such as diabetes or gout. Hyperhidrosis also may derive from overactivity of the nerves in your body that signals your body to sweat.

How is it treated?

Botox injections are able to block a chemical in your body that stimulates your sweat glands.

How does Botox compare to other treatments?

Botox is FDA approved to reduce excessive sweating in your armpit area. The Botox treatment takes less than 25 minutes and is less invasive than surgery. One Botox treatment brings relief for 4 to 9 months.
