BOTOX® Cosmetic
BOTOX® Cosmetic is best known as an effective means of softening and relaxing contracting facial muscles that cause unseemly wrinkles. When your muscle is injected with BOTOX® Cosmetic, it no longer receives the nerve signal to contract. In the late 1980s it was discovered that BOTOX® Cosmetic can also be used as a treatment for sufferers of blepharospasms (uncontrolled blinking) and strabismus (lazy eye).
One BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment can last anywhere from four to six months but the muscle memory may cause a more permanent effect resulting in less severe muscle contractions over time. The treatment is typically complete in a few minutes with mild discomfort to the injected muscle.
LATISSE®
The use of prescription LATISSE® is proven to produce longer and fuller eyelashes as well as promote eyelash growth. Results can be seen gradually within weeks and full results are achieved anywhere from eight to sixteen weeks. Using a sterile applicator, LATISSE® is applied daily directly to your lashes on the upper eyelid. No surgery is needed and LATISSE® is FDA approved as a medically safe procedure.
Juvederm™
Everyone interested in achieving a younger appearance would prefer to avoid surgery. Juvederm™ is an FDA approved nonsurgical method of smoothing away lines and wrinkles without the need for surgery. The procedure takes less than thirty minutes but the results can last up to six months or more. Rather than injecting into the muscle under a wrinkle, as with BOTOX® Cosmetic, Juvederm™ is used to fill creases so the wrinkle seems to disappear. It can be used in a variety of ways including plumping thin lips. Most wrinkle fillers are not naturally occurring but Juvederm™ actually mimics part of your skins component tissue.
