Forehead wrinkles. Crows feet.  Frown lines.  Dynamic wrinkles often develop from repetitive facial expression, causing these fine lines to appear visible even when the face is totally relaxed.

Wrinkles are a normal part of the aging process. The most common contributors to premature aging of the skin include genetics, spending too much time in the sun, smoking and poor diet.  Avoiding or limiting these activities can help prevent and lessen the effects of wrinkles.

Not all wrinkles can be avoided, and when quick, dramatic results are desired, Botox®may be a viable solution for removing wrinkles on the face caused by daily muscle contraction of your natural facial expressions.  Botox® works by temporarily blocking nerve impulses, which reduces the movement of those particular muscles. With less movement, the skin surface is gradually smoothed, the lines begin to fade, and your natural vibrant skin strengthens and returns.  

During treatment, very low doses of Botox® are administered by way of small injections. FDA-approved, Botox® is a safe and minimally invasive treatment. It takes just a few minutes and can last about 3-4 months.   

In as little as 24 hours following treatment, patients begin to see major improvement in the appearance of their wrinkles, and continue to see improvement in the days following. The effects are not permanent and may need to be repeated as directed by your dermatologist.
