Happy Birthday Botox!
Botox celebrated its 20th birthday in April of 2008. It is one of the most popular non-surgical aesthetic prescription drugs in the United States! With over 2.7 million Botox cosmetic procedures performed last year, this wonder drug has reason to celebrate!
Botox is a highly purified form of Botulinum Toxin A. It is injected into specific muscles in very small amounts. It acts by blocking the transmission of nerve impulses to muscles and so paralyzing the muscles. It is ideal for the forehead, crow’s feet, frown lines and the Glabella (area between the eyebrows).
Appointments for Botox injections are available on the first Thursday of every month. Call for an appointment today. $12 per unit.
Dermal Fillers, which have a number of brand names, are long-lasting gels that once injected into the skin with an ultra-fine needle, lift and add volume to the areas being treated. Similar to one of the body's own natural substances (hyaluronic acid), it is a completely safe procedure that “fills in” the particular wrinkle being treated. It will dissolve over time and most patients choose to have further treatment within a year. Call for pricing and appointments.
