Houston plastic surgeon Dr. Christopher Patronella and his aesthetic nurse specialist Abby Loner, RN, offer BOTOX Cometic and Dysport to diminish the fine lines that develop near the eyes and along the forehead as a result of repeated movement of the muscles in these areas and a weakening of the skin's elasticity.
Botox®Cosmetic and Dysport®
BOTOX Cosmetic and Dysport are effective at smoothing out the facial expression lines and creases that result from muscle movement and the passage of time:
-
Frown lines between the brows
-
Furrows across the forehead
-
Fine lines near the corners of the eyes, sometimes referred to as "crow's feet" or "laugh lines"
What Causes Frown Lines and Laugh Lines?
When you make facial expressions, muscles that lie beneath the surface contract, causing creases or furrows in the skin. As you grow older, skin begin's to lose its elasticity-the ability to "snap" back into place and still remain smooth, so that the creases become more visible.
How Does BOTOX Cosmetic and Dysport Diminish Fine Lines and Brow Furrows?
During your treatment, Dr. Patronella or Abby Loner, RN, will make tiny injections of BOTOX Cosmetic or Dysport directly into the muscles that are responsible for the skin creasing. They help these muscles to relax by blocking the release of a chemical that causes them to contract. When administered by an experienced professional, the effects of these injectables will appear natural, allowing you to show facial expression while inhibiting the muscle movement just enough to soften lines.
How Long Will My Results Last?
Results vary between individuals, but they typically last anywhere from 3 to 5 months.
