Reference:BOTOX ® Cosmetic [package insert]. Irvine, CA:
Allergan, Inc; 2002 BOTOX ® Cosmetic is
indicated for the temporary improvement in the appearance of moderate
to severe glabellar lines associated with corrugator and/or procerus
muscle activity in adult patients 65 years of age or less.
Reference: Data on file, Allergan.
In clinical studies, 82% of people saw an
improvement after a week -- 89% of people saw results after 30 days.
BOTOX® COSMETIC
treatments are one of the few procedures we do that result in high
patient satisfaction within a short period of time. In fact, the
American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) 2001 Statistics
on Cosmetic Surgery listed BOTOX® COSMETIC
injections as the fastest growing cosmetic treatment performed by
surgeons in the U.S. BOTOX® COSMETIC
treatments have increased 46% since 2000 and were rated #1 among the
8.5 million surgical and non-surgical cosmetic procedures performed in
2001," said Dr. Roberta D. Sengelmann, MD, Assistant Professor,
Dermatology and Otolaryngology at Washington University in St. Louis.
"I have treated hundreds of patients with BOTOX®
COSMETIC and the response from my patients has been
overwhelmingly positive. Patients come to me saying they are often
perceived by their friends, families, and colleagues as angry,
stressed, or worried due to the unwanted expressions from the lines
between the brows. Within a few days after a BOTOX®
COSMETIC treatment, patients look more refreshed and natural."

Face it- whether it’s the aging process, sun
damage, acne scars, or sun spots, baby-clear skin just does not last
forever. And for men and women alike, appearances are important- to
others, and for your own self-esteem. The good news is that the
technology for cosmetic procedures has advanced to the point where a
great deal can be done in less time, at less expense, and with less
pain. There are more non-invasive options than ever and selecting the
right procedure for you with a board-certified, credentialed doctor
that can make all the difference in your world.
Botox Touted for
everything from relieving migraine headaches to preventing extreme
underarm perspiration. Botox is a protein substance from Botulinum A
Toxin. Best known for eliminating dynamic wrinkles (those that form
from facial expressions), Botox is injected into the muscle just
beneath the skin. This blocks the chemical release of acetylcholine, a
neurotransmitter that sends electrical messages to the muscles telling
them to contract. If the message never reaches the muscle, the creases
that are normally created will no longer be there.
Restylane As we age,
our body’s natural supply of hyaluronic acid diminishes. This is a
structural part of the skin that creates volume and shape, and acts as
a lubricant. Restylane, a synthetic version of hyaluronic acid, is a
gel-like substance that stimulates one’s own skin cells to flow to the
surface, allowing creases and grooves to be filled in more naturally.
Restylane is injected directly into the skin in tiny amounts by an
ultra fine needle, resulting in minimal discomfort. The procedure is
simple and convenient and results are pleasing and practically
instantaneous.
Ultrasonic Skin Resurfacing
Ultrasonic micro massage operates on vibration at a frequency of 25,000
cycles per second to the skin and underlying tissues. Used on both face
and body, the results include:*Exfoliation of superficial skin
layers*Sterilization of skin’s surface to close pores*Stimulation to
boost collagen and elastin*Moisturization to provide deep hydration.
Four to six treatments later, skin is brighter, clearer and more evenly
toned- plus, this procedure can protect against future damage.
3D Facial Regeneration
Combining three different procedures, this is the ultimate in overall
skin rejuvenation. This blend of Intense Pulse, Laser or V-Beam and
Erbium technologies can remove pigmented lesions (sunspots, age spots,
freckles), decrease pore size, increase collagen production and can
resurface imperfections like scarring or redness and even fine lines.
Erbium is like a face lift with no surgery, skin is tighter and clearer
in a very short time.
Tri-Active For a healthier,
tighter, smoother body and face, Tri-Active Laser offers a unique
combination of laser and massage to enhance microcirculation and to
stimulate the change of tissue appearance. This procedure works for
larger areas like buttocks and abdomen, or smaller areas like the
face.This is like an instant face lift, smoothing away expression lines
and wrinkles while evening out skin tone.
These are just a few of the non-surgical cosmetic procedures available
today- it’s important to research the whole process carefully and check
credentials before you proceed. Once you’ve discovered the procedure
that’s best for what you want to accomplish, go ahead! Take an extra
long lunch (or in some cases a day off!) and return refreshed,
rejuvenated and ready to take on the world!
