What is Botox?Botox is an injectable treatment for wrinkles in the upper face and works by stopping the muscles from creating the creases that go on to make wrinkles
How is Botox performed?Botox is injected into the muscle using a very fine needle, the injection causes a very slight short lived stinging sensation. What will my first visit be like?On your first visit, your surgeon will discuss with you the changes you would like to made to your appearance. He will tell you of other options and also discuss risks as well as limitations. You may ask to be shown before and after photos of patients who have undergone this procedure. You will be able toask all the questions you have about this procedure at this meeting How long does the procedure take?Usually the procedure takes between 15 and 30 minutes, depending on the number of injections needed. Where are the treatments performed?The procedure can be done in the office surgical suite and you may go home immediately. What can I expect afterwards?Results are visible 3 to 5 days after and may last 3 to 5 months at times even longer. The procedure may be repeated and with each new treatment results are expected to last longer.

Numbness, soreness, and a burning sensation may be felt, occasionally there might be a small bruise Are there any risks?There are very few risks, all this will be discussed with you by the surgeon, but in some cases there is bruising, and occasionally slight drooping of the eyebrow or eyelid, but these effects are quire rare Am I an good candidate?You are if you have wrinkles on your face, are in good physical health and want to improve your appearanc |

Fillers
What are Fillers?There are many different fillers on the market but the majority consist of a liquid gel containing hyaluronic acid- a substance normally found in healthy skin-which tends to disappear as we age. Some fillers such as Juvaderm have additional local anesthetic within the gel.
How are Fillers administered?Fillers are injected into creases and wrinkles in the lower face after a local anesthetic cream has been applied. They are used to fill the lines from nose to the corner of the mouth, augment lips, and reduce ‘smoker’s lines’ on the upper lip and other facial lines.
