Botox© is a safe, effective, proven method of smoothing out wrinkles in the forehead, around the eyes, and mouth. It is injected into muscles that over time cause skin to wrinkle, and once this muscle activity is reduced, skin overlying the muscles is allowed to regain a smoother, more youthful look. There are many misconceptions about Botox©. First of all, Botox© is not a poison, but a protein created by a bacteria. There are no live bacteria in Botox©. Botox© works by reducing muscle activity. Secondly, this action is not permanent, but typically lasts three to four months, at which time the patient may elect to retreat with Botox©.  

> The Botox treatment only takes fifteen minutes.
> You will notice the full effect of Botox between 5 to 10 days. 
> Botox can last between 3 to 6 months, depending on the targeted facial muscles

BOTOX is also very useful in easing the pain from TMJ (temporal mandibular joint) disorders and relief from migraines and various other dentally related headaches.

Rejuvederm: Botox and Juvederm target different areas of your face, and enhance skin in entirely different ways. While Botox works to halt muscles from contracting, Juvederm is a smooth filler that plumps skin and rounds out the area around your mouth. Juvederm replaces natural substances that diminish in facial skin as we age. The gel is injected directly into areas around your mouth and nose, erasing smile lines and facial folds. A Juvederm treatment only takes about thirty minutes, you will see immediate results, experience minimal recovery time, and your smoother skin may last a year. Using Botox and Juvederm simultaneously is completely safe, as the two treatments do not interact with one another. Our Botox and Juvederm specialists are happy to discuss either treatment or a combination of both.
