The best dental experience ever from the time I walked through the door until it was time to leave. The staff is absolutely amazing, very thorough, comforting, and made sure to let me know step by step what was going on during my appointment. They take their time, nothing is rushed and that let me know they truly care about my dental health. This was my first time at this office and I can say I have found the dentist home for me.
The neurotoxins (Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, and Jeuveau) work by using Botulinum toxins, which are injected directly into the facial muscle in order to restrict muscle movement. Deeply etched lines in the face, often created by the intense concentration or constant furrowing, will smooth out with regular use. Fillers differ from Botox because they are injected into the contours of your face, not to paralyze, but to add volume or plump specific areas. Some fillers(namely Juvederm, Restylane, and others) are made with hyaluronic acid, a gel-like substance that is found in our bodies in between the cells that fill in wrinkles.
Botox and fillers are administered with simple injections. Botox softens wrinkles caused by expression, known as dynamic wrinkles, so your forehead lines, crow’s feet around the eyes, and furrows between the brows (frown lines) smooth.
Botox and dermal fillers address various issues, but they complement each other very well: Botox fixes the problem of dynamic wrinkles, and dermal fillers fix volume loss.
