BOTOX

Each time you make a facial expression- frown, squint, or pursed lips – underlying muscles pull skin into creases.  Over time, lines and wrinkles become etched into skin.  Neuromodulators (Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, Jeauveux)  are a minimally-invasive option to effectively soften those wrinkles while maintaining normal facial animation.  Dr. Chaudhry brings safety and artistry to every Botox procedure.

Botox is a purified protein that has long been used in medicine.  Botox Cosmetic was approved in 2002.  Since that time, countless patients have discovered how safe and easy it is, in the hands of a Board-certified dermatologist, to look refreshed. 

With a very fine needle, Botox is injected just beneath the skin at precise points.  It disrupts signals from nerves that cause muscle contractions. As muscles relax, skin smooths out beautifully.

WHAT DOES BOTOX TREAT?

LUNCHTIME TREAT

Botox is sometimes called the lunchtime treatment because an injection session typically takes approximately a half hour. There is no downtime- you can go right back to work or other activities. Expect to see improvement in a few days, with full results in about 10 days. Depending on the area injected, rejuvenation lasts up to six months. Without periodic touch-up visits your refreshed, youthful look can last indefinitely.

Many women and men choose Botox as their sole wrinkle reduction treatment. However, Botox also works well as part of a comprehensive non-surgical rejuvenation plan. The doctor may suggest dermal fillers for lost facial volume, laser resurfacing to refine coarse skin texture, skin peels for radiance, and high quality skin care products.
