BOTOX
PREVENT & SMOOTH LINES
Neurotoxins such as Botox®, Dysport, and Xeomin, are FDA-approved products composed of the active ingredient Botulinum Toxin Type A used to smooth lines and wrinkles. We offer all three brands. They work by temporarily blocking the chemical communication between the nerve and the receptor inhibiting the movement of the muscle causing the wrinkle. A tiny injection into the area results in a smoother, tighter appearance of the skin lasting about three to four months.
In addition to wrinkles, Botox® can be used for many concerns such as sweating, jaw clenching, gummy smile, acne and more!
Young and lucky enough to not have any wrinkles yet?
Prevent wrinkles from forming with “micro-tox”, smaller aliquots precisely injected into the skin and muscles, thus preserving your youthful-looking skin.

THE FLIP
If you naturally have a thin upper lip or are noticing volume loss with age, you may want to consider Botox® injections. Over time our lips lose their plumpness and wrinkles may appear around the mouth. Tiny injections at the vermillion border will give a subtle enhancement to the pink show of the upper lip and can also smooth the lines and wrinkles around the mouth as the muscle relaxes. This is commonly referred to as a “lip flip”.

Before Botox® treatment, it’s advisable to avoid alcohol and blood-thinning medications to prevent bruising. Afterward, it’s recommended to avoid rubbing or massaging the treated area and to stay upright for several hours to prevent the spread of the toxin. It is best to avoid heavy exercise for the first 4 hours after treatment.
