Cosmetic and Plastic Surgeons

I found out that there are restrictions as to where facial fillers can and can’t be injected into the face. On a Newport Beach plastic surgeon’s website it says, “Weakening the muscle action of the forehead creases, crow’s feet and frown lines with Botox is tremendously successful. This can not be done around the mouth or cheeks. If these muscles were weakened, the smile and the expressions of the face would be changed.”

I have been considering botox injections for some time now, but I have always wondered, why do facial lines form in the first place. I decided that I would look it up online. I found a Michigan plastic surgeon’s website with my answer. “The frown lines are caused by two muscles of the forehead. As the muscles contract, they will pull the skin together, as time progresses, the repeated contraction produces lines to the skin.”

I’ve been looking around for information on facial rejuvenation and recently found the information most useful to me. On the website of a Newport Beach plastic surgeon, I found out what facial rejuvenation is capable of. It says, “The result of the treatment is a general tightening of the skin with obliteration of many of the fine wrinkles and scars while making the deeper wrinkles and scars less noticeable.”

I’m starting to look my age finally, and now I am missing my youthful look I had just a few months back. I looked into some information on rejuvenating my youth and found a Tempe plastic surgeon’s website. It has information about many facial fillers, including Botox. It says, “Botox is an effective way for softening crow’s feet, frown lines, and forehead wrinkles. The results are a more pleasing relaxed appearance.”

As we age, our skin changes. Over time, the natural volume of youthful skin begins to diminish as wrinkles and folds form. But, with Juvéderm injectable gel, you don’t have to just sit back and let it happen! Recently approved by the FDA, Juvéderm injectable gel is a “next-generation” dermal filler. The smooth consistency gel helps to instantly restore your skin’s volume and smooth away facial wrinkles and folds, like your “smile lines” or “parentheses” (nasolabial folds—the creases that run from the bottom of your nose to the corners of your mouth).

Botox Cosmetic, sometimes called “a facelift in a bottle”, is a purified protein. When small doses are injected directly into the muscles, impulses from the nerves to the injected muscle causing the wrinkles are blocked - allowing them to relax. This relaxing of the muscle allows the skin to smooth out persistent lines that which developed over time.
Botox Cosmetic treatments usually last about 10-15 minutes and keep the muscles that cause lines relaxed for 3 months. Results are dramatic and apparent within days and unlike surgery it is fast, simple and minimally invasive.

BOTOX Cosmetic is a simple, nonsurgical, physician-administered treatment that can temporarily smooth moderate to severe frown lines between the brows in people from 18 to 65 years of age. It is the only treatment of its type approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Botox is a safe and effective way of addressing lines and wrinkles to the face that occur during the aging process. The process is simple and requires very little time with minimal recovery. Best of all, this is a non-surgical procedure and can, therefore, be performed in the office.
Botox is an affordable alternative to a facelift, has anyone had botox injections before and would like to share their success story?

BOTOX® Cosmetic is a simple, non-surgical, physician-administered treatment that can temporarily smooth moderate to severe frown lines between the brows in people from 18 to 65 years of age. It is the only treatment of its type approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Take a look at men and women who’ve had BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments, and see for yourself!
One 10-minute treatment—a few tiny injections—and within days there’s a noticeable improvement in those persistent lines between the brows, which can last up to 4 months. Results may vary.

The beauty of a BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment is that it’s a simple, 10-minute, non-surgical process. Treatment consists of a few tiny injections of very low dosage, made through a very fine needle, directly into the appropriate muscles. Results may vary. And there’s no recovery time. You can even do it on your lunch break. You can request that the area be desensitized with a cold pack or anesthetic cream prior to beginning, though most patients experience only brief mild discomfort. The process takes only about ten minutes, and a noticeable improvement in your frown lines appears within a few days. The results generally last around four to six months, after which time the injections can be repeated.
I never knew Botox Injections were so simple. Has anyone ever had them before?

You may be a candidate for Botox® if you have lines or deep grooves along your forehead between your eyebrows, or around the corners of your eyes (crow’s feet) that bother you. Botox injections are a temporary solution for reducing the appearance of lines and can last anywhere from 3-5 months. Dr. Kearney performs Botox injections in the office and there is no anesthetic required and no downtime. You may return to normal activities immediately following your appointment. It usually takes 3-4 days to see the effects of Botox. Botox can also be used to treat overactive sweat glands in the armpits as well as help in the treatment of Migraine headaches. On an occasional patient, Botox is used in the mouth area to decease the appearance of vertical lip lines.

Botox treatments are becoming increasingly popular, and with good reason. In many cases, Botox is a very effective method for reducing wrinkles. Botox can be used to smooth wrinkles in the neck and face to create a more youthful appearance. It is especially useful in the eye area. Removing wrinkles from between the eyes can dramatically change a person’s look from one of permanent anger or sadness to one of contentment and restedness. It is also frequently used on the thin wrinkles that surround the eyes (often called “crows feet”) and the mouth, but can also be used in other areas, such as along the chin and jaw.
The solution used in these treatments is made of botulinum A toxin, a purified protein made from botulism bacteria. This solution temporarily paralyzes nerves of the facial muscles so that they cannot contract and cause wrinkles in the area being treated. Botox may also be helpful in treating migraine headaches, and can be used to decrease excess sweating of the palms and underarms.
