BOTOX®
Treatable Conditionss
BOTOX® for Wrinkles & Forehead Lines
Dynamic wrinkles are caused by contractions of the delicate underlying facial muscles every time you smile, laugh or frown. The more emotion you show, the deeper
these wrinkles and lines are likely to be. While you may have earned every one of your smile lines, you don't have to show them anymore.
Now, thanks to a new use for an approved drug, dynamic lines can be dramatically softened. The procedure known as cosmetic denervation uses BOTOX® injections to
improve the appearance of forehead worry lines and frown lines, eye laugh lines and crow's feet or other dynamic wrinkles. Newer techniques even allow for gentle facial
"shaping" around the mouth and eyes utilizing BOTOX®.
BOTOX® blocks impulses from the nerve to the tiny facial muscles that are related to expression lines. BOTOX® relaxes the muscles so they do not contract.
The contraction of the muscle is the culprit causing the wrinkles. After treatment, the overlying skin remains smooth and unwrinkled while the untreated facial muscles
contract in a normal fashion, allowing normal facial expression to be unaffected.
BOTOX® injections have been used safely and effectively for well over 10 years in aesthetics, and even longer for ophthalmological and neurological disorders. Each year,
thousands of patients receive BOTOX® treatments for a variety of conditions including excessive sweating, and it is the #1 aesthetic treatment for treating dynamic wrinkles.
Using tiny micro-needles, a very small amount of BOTOX® is injected, very precisely, into several locations on the face. Because the needle is so fine and only a small
amount of liquid is used, the pain associated with the injections is minimal. Most patients compare the sensation to a bug bite. No sedation or local anesthetic is required,
and you can resume normal activities immediately. Some patients experience a slight temporary bruising at the injection site which can easily be covered with make-up.
The positive effects of the injections normally last from three to four months and sometimes longer. You will need to have injections about two to three times a year.
The early studies indicate that the duration of treatment benefits is increased over time so that you should require injections less frequently in the future. Ultimately
patients notice rapid and excellent results with smooth and unwrinkled skin leading to a more youthful appearance.

What is BOTOX® Cosmetic?
BOTOX® cosmetic is a safe and effective way to minimize the effects of aging. BOTOX® injections take very little time and have no recovery or downtime, making this
the most popular non-surgical procedure today. BOTOX® Cosmetic gently works with your facial muscles to decrease the number and severity of facial wrinkles with a softened, natural,
refined look that leaves patients extremely happy with their results. One 10-minute treatment—a few tiny injections—and within days there's a noticeable improvement in moderate
to severe lines, which can last up to 4 months.
Who should not have BOTOX®?
You should not have BOTOX® if any of the following conditions apply:
- Have any diseases that affect your nerves or muscles
- Have an allergy to Botulinum Toxin or Human Albumin
- You are pregnant or breastfeeding
- Have an infection where Botox will be injected
What are possible side effects of BOTOX® Cosmetic?
Although side effects are rare and there are no known long term problems with BOTOX® Cosmetic, a patient could experience any of the following:
- Mild bruising or swelling
- Temporary nausea or headache (some patients have reported temporary disappearance of tension headaches and migraines)
- Temporary drooping of the eyebrow or eyelid
How soon will I see a difference?
You can expect to see results within days after your treatment. On average, patients see a marked improvement in the moderate to severe lines in about 3 – 7 days.
Lines continue to improve for up to a month, and results can last for up to 4 months.
Will I be able to make facial expressions?
After treatment with BOTOX® Cosmetic, you may look in the mirror and see a marked improvement. But BOTOX® Cosmetic will not radically change your facial appearance.
It doesn't make you look like you've "had work done." The muscle activity is simply reduced, so you can still frown or look surprised—without the wrinkles and creases.

BOTOX® for Hyperhidrosis
Hyperhidrosis is a disorder characterized by excessive sweating that occurs in up to 1% of the population. The excessive sweating can occur in the hands, in the armpits, or in the feet.
Although nobody understands the exact cause of this excessive sweating in specific individuals, it is known that the sweating is controlled by the sympathetic nervous system.
Patients with hyperhidrosis have excessive sweating that hampers their activities of daily living. It is sometimes brought on by stress, emotion, or exercise, but can also occur spontaneously.
Can BOTOX® Treatment Help Those With Hyperhidrosis?
BOTOX® is FDA-approved for severe underarm sweating when topical agents don't work. Botox helps control this condition by temporarily blocking the chemical signals from
the nerves that stimulate the sweat glands. When the sweat glands don't receive chemical signals, the severe sweating stops.
What is Treatment with BOTOX® like?
The procedure is relatively straightforward. A small volume of BOTOX® solution is injected into the affected underarm area through a very fine needle. The needle is placed just under
the skin, so you may experience some injection-related discomfort. You will receive multiple injections based on the assessment of the area that needs to be treated.
What Should I Expect After I Have Received BOTOX®?
You should notice a significant reduction in underarm sweating within four weeks of your first treatment. There is a possibility that some sweat glands may be missed, and you may
continue to experience some sweating from untreated areas. If you do not see a significant reduction in sweating, you should follow up with the clinic.
How Long Does a BOTOX® Treatment Last?
In a recent clinical study, the median duration of response in Botox patients was 201 days or 6.7 months. It is not a cure; your symptoms will return gradually, and you will know
when the time is right for another treatment.
Dermal Fillers

| Before |
After |
Treatable Conditions
As you age, the years of laughing, smiling, talking and tanning inevitably crease your skin. These factors can leave you with lines and wrinkles. You will also start to notice that the size of your lips has begun to shrink. Fillers can be used for temporary line and wrinkle removal or even for lip enhancement. Dermal Fillers are safe and effective treatments for restoring the youthfulness of your face without having to undergo surgery. Some of the other benefits of our non-surgical dermal fillers are:
- No skin test prior to injection
- Composed of hyaluronic acid which is a natural component of our tissue
- Instant Results
- Long lasting (6 months to 1 year)
- No animal ingredients
The TREATMENT
Dermal Fillers take about 15 to 30 minutes and the amount of discomfort depends on the sensitivity of the patient's skin. Lip enhancement can be uncomfortable; therefore patients are offered a nerve block prior to treatment to eliminate any pain. The product is injected just below the surface of the skin with a very fine needle.
Patients may require a second visit to achieve full correction of the area. The body will eventually absorb the product, so ongoing treatments are necessary to maintain results, normally every 6-16 months.
SIDE EFFECTS
Injection related reactions may occur such as post treatment swelling, redness, pain, itchiness, bruising and tenderness at the injection site. These reaction resolve on their own within a few days. Patients should avoid aspirin and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, e.g. Advil, prior to treatment as they will increase the risk of bruising at the injection site.

WHAT IS JUVEDERM®
Juvéderm® is a smooth consistency gel made of hyaluronic acid- a naturally occurring substance in your skin that helps to add volume and hydration. The Juvéderm® injectable gel is eased under your skin 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). Juvéderm® provides a smooth, natural look and feel- so everyone will notice (but no one will know!)
Juvéderm® is the ONLY hyaluronic acid (HA) filler FDA approved to last up to 1 year!
Where can Juvéderm® be used?
Juvéderm® can be injected safely into the upper and lower lips for enhancement as well as any deep wrinkles in the face, such as:
- Frown lines between the eyebrows
- Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
- Vertical lip lines around the mouth
- Marionette lines around the mouth and chin
What are the side effects of Juvéderm®?
There are very few side effects with the use of Juvéderm®. You may experience temporary swelling, redness, pain, firmness and mild bruising. These side effects should subside within 3 to 7 days.
Who should not have Juvéderm®?
- Pregnant or Breastfeeding women
- Patients with known susceptibility to keloid formation or hypertrophic scars
How soon will I see a difference?
You should see an immediate improvement in the treatment areas. Most patients only need one treatment to achieve optimal wrinkle smoothing or lip enhancement. One treatment could smooth your lines and wrinkles or fill your lips for up to 1 year!
How should I prepare for a Juvéderm® treatment?
Prior to treatment, we recommend that you avoid any medications that can prolong bleeding, such as aspirin and non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDS), for at least a week prior to treatment to reduce the risk of bruising and bleeding at the injection site.
What is Restylane®?
Restylane® is a safe and effective product to replace lost volume and restore youthful contours to the skin. It can smooth away moderate to severe facial
wrinkles and folds, such as the lines from your nose to the corners of your mouth. Restylane® is administered quickly and easily, requires no downtime for
healing, and the result is immediate making this one of the most popular non-surgical procedures. Restylane® looks and feels natural for the duration of the
product and can last up to 6 months. There is no skin testing required with this product, so treatment can be done the day of your consultation.
Where can Restylane® be used?
Restylane® can be injected safely into numerous areas of the face for any of the following reasons:
- Frown lines between the eyes
- Deep smile creases around the mouth (known as the nasolabial folds)
- Vertical lip lines around the mouth
- Upper and Lower Lip enhancement
What are the side effects of having Restylane injection?
You might experience slight redness, swelling, tenderness, itching and/or mild bruising following a Restylane treatment. This is the same as you might expect with
any type of injection. However, the discomfort is temporary and generally disappears after a few days.
Who should not have Restylane?
- Pregnant or breast feeding women
- Patients with known susceptibility to keloid formation or hypertrophic scarring
- Patients with a known allergy to gram-positive bacterial proteins
- Patients with an infection where Restylane is going to be injected
How soon will I see a difference?
The results are immediate. Restylane can last up to 6 months or more in many patients.
How should I prepare prior to a Restylane treatment?
Prior to treatment, avoid using aspirin, ibuprofen, St. John's wort or high doses of Vitamin E supplements because this may increase bruising or bleeding at the
injection site. Also, if you have previously suffered from facial cold sores, discuss this with your provider before treatment. Restylane does not require allergy skin testing.
What is Radiesse™?
Radiesse™ is a FDA approved, long lasting injectable filler used for wrinkle correction in several different areas of the face.
Radiesse™ remains soft and pliable and will take on the characteristics of the surrounding tissue so you will never look over corrected or overdone.
Radiesse™ is used world wide for soft tissue augmentation and enhancement and is easily injected with minimal recovery and no downtime. There is no
skin test required for this product, so treatment can be done the day of your consult.
What are the side effects of Radiesse™?
There are few reported side effects with the use of Radiesse; however, some common injected related reactions may occur such as:
- Temporary edema (swelling)
- Mild and temporary pain/discomfort
- Mild itching at or around the injection site
- Mild and temporary bruising
These side effects generally last for a short time and are mild in nature.
Where can Radiesse™ be used?
Radiesse™ can be used in several different areas of the face such as:
- Deep smile creases around the mouth (known as the nasolabial folds)
- Marionette lines around the mouth or chin
- Vertical lip lines
- Cheek augmentation
Who should not have Radiesse™?
- Pregnant or breast feeding women
- Patients with known susceptibility to keloid formation or hypertrophic scarring
Is Radiesse permanent?
No. Treatment results are long-lasting, but not permanent. Over time the tiny calcium-based microspheres gradually break down and are safely and naturally
absorbed into your body, leaving your own newly produced collagen in their place.
How should I prepare prior to a Radiesse treatment?
Prior to treatment, avoid using aspirin, ibuprofen, St. John's Wort or high doses of Vitamin E supplements because this may increase bruising or bleeding at the injection site.
How soon will I see a difference?
Radiesse provides immediate, visible improvement of folds and wrinkles, and provides long-lasting and beautiful results. The effects of Radiesse may last a year or more in many patients.
