BOTOX®
Dr. Negin Liaghati, Bsc, MD, CCFP
1. BOTOX Cosmetic® is an approved, safe prescription drug which is used to reduce or minimize facial wrinkles in the area(s) it is applied. The treatment involves very tiny injections into the muscles under the skin in order to temporarily relax the muscles. This will prevent the muscles from fully contracting, and thus will minimize the creasing / folding / wrinkling of the skin in the treated area. The treatment is temporary and not permanent.
2. Most patients are interested in a natural, relaxed appearance. Dr. Liaghati strives to achieve a natural outcome in conjunction with the patient's treatment goals. BOTOX Cosmetic® will relax the muscles which contract and thus it helps to soften or reduce the wrinkling typically associated with negative expressions such as: worry, anger, stressed appearance, tired etc. You will still be able to express yourself and to smile. A BOTOX Cosmetic® treatment often results in a more relaxed, better rested and "fresher" appearance.
3. The goal of treatment is NOT to completely immobilize the face and thus complete elimination of lines cannot be guaranteed.
4. BOTOX Cosmetic® is applied by a few tiny injections into the area(s) discussed between Dr. Liaghati and the patient. The needle used is very tiny and feels similar to tiny pinches. Anesthetic is not required and the treatment only takes approximately 15 minutes to perform.
5. You may start to see the results begin within a few days after the treatment, but full treatment results can take up to 14 days to fully set in. Please wait until 2 weeks has passed before assessing results.
6.Since it is a temporary treatment, the results will eventually wear off and BOTOX Cosmetic® will need to be injected again. In order to get the best results, Dr. Liaghati recommends that patients maintain their treatments regularly - at the frequency she recommends.
7. Dr. Liaghati charges by the # of units used during a treatment. The exact # of units used is decided by the Dr after assessing the patient's muscular structure and discussing the patient's goals of treatment. Every patient is different and will require a different amount of product.
8. If you are diligent and strictly adhere to the recommended treatment frequency schedule, you will be able to extend the treatment results and potentially reduce the amount of BOTOX Cosmetic® that you require. This treatment approach will reduce your overall treatment costs.
9. Treatment results may last approximately 3 to 4 months BUT every patient is different due to everyone's unique muscular structure. Thus, it is important to take note of the date when you begin to notice that your muscles start to regain their movement and thus, begin to create folding / wrinkling of the skin. To repeat, IF YOU ARE DILIGENT ABOUT MAINTAINING your BOTOX Cosmetic® treatments at the frequency recommended by the Dr then you increase the ability of your treatment results to last longer after future treatments.
What Is JUVÉDERM® Injectable Gel?
As we age, our skin changes. Over time, the natural volume of youthful skin begins to diminish as wrinkles and folds form. But, with JUVÉDERM® injectable gel, you don't have to just sit back and let it happen!
JUVÉDERM® is a smooth consistency gel made of hyaluronic acid-a naturally occurring substance in your skin that helps to add volume and hydration. Your healthcare professional eases JUVÉDERM® injectable gel under the skin to instantly restore your skin's volume and smooth away facial wrinkles and folds, like your "smile lines" or "parentheses" (nasolabial folds-the creases that run from the bottom of your nose to the corners of your mouth).
JUVÉDERM® provides a smooth, natural look and feel-so everyone will notice (but no one will know)! In fact, studies show superior results of JUVÉDERM® compared to a collagen-based dermal filler.
Almost 90% of all study volunteers who were treated with both JUVÉDERM® injectable gel and another dermal filler preferred JUVÉDERM®! JUVÉDERM® injectable gel is the first FDA-approved hyaluronic acid dermal filler that is proven to be safe and effective for persons of color. Immediate Results With JUVÉDERM® the injection process takes only about 15 minutes and results are immediate. Plus, there's minimal recovery or downtime.
