Non-Surgical

Question :
I have some facial concerns that I think would be best addressed with some injectable fillers. Do doctors choose the filler based on their preference or based on the patient's specific concerns?

Question : 
Would injecting BOTOX around the brow line create something that looks similar to a forehead lift?

Question: I love the results I've seen online with chemical peels. I've got some sun damage and minor wrinkling. Can this be improved with a chemical and would I need to have repeat treatments to maintain the results?

Question: The other day I was getting my hair done at the salon when I saw an ad for Botox injections. I thought that only a certified medical provider could do them; what's the deal?

Question: Can injectable fillers be performed at the same time as a facelift or do you need to wait? If you need to wait, how long? And is this true of all fillers?

Question: I saw an interview with a doctor who said that a chemical peel can be used not only on the face, but the neck and hands as well. What’s different about treatment on the face as opposed to the rest of the body?

Many patients have a poor understanding of how and when botox or fillers should be used. The facial lines can be divided into either dynamic or resting lines. Dynamic lines are lines that can be seen when you animate or move your face. Examples of such lines are forehead lines, glabellar lines, and crow’s feet. Dynamic lines occur because the underlying muscle moves and contracts. Botox is used to relax these muscles by disrupting muscle-to-muscle communication. Resting lines are lines that can still be seen when your face is at rest.
