Botox ™
Botox injections are one of the most often requested cosmetic procedures in the United States. Studies have discovered that Botox injections can reduce wrinkles and fine lines by as much as 80 percent and the results can last for three to five months. Prior to the procedure one of our surgeons, Dr. Paul M. Gardner, Dr. Leo M. Baccaro, Dr. Mark Walsh, or Dr. Andrew Bonett, will carefully evaluate facial structure to determine the ideal injection sites. Then, he will gently administer Botox to help patients lessen frown lines, crows’ feet and other wrinkles. After the Botox has been administered, patients are free to continue their daily activities with their newly rejuvenated appearances.
One of the more sought-after procedures at Naples Plastic Surgery is Botox injections and so I’d like to talk about what Botox actually is.
Botox is a trade name for botulinum injectable botulinum toxin that’s offered by the Allergan corporation. There are other forms of botulinum toxin that’s injected including Juve, Dysport and Xeomin, but the one that most people are familiar with and that’s thrown around quite a bit is Botox, so I’m going to refer to it as Botox.
Botox is actually injected for one purpose to weaken muscles and so how does it work? It actually works on the muscles in our face. Usually that’s where we inject it to weaken the muscles that for example form wrinkles. I’m going to form some wrinkles on my forehead. Those wrinkles if treated properly with the right amount of Botox can smooth out. When you get Botox injections it’s not an eraser, it’s not going to erase all the lines in the face. What it’s going to do is weaken the muscles that form those lines and what we recommend is every three months you come back you get re-injected because that’s how long Botox generally lasts three months and if you capture those muscles before they start working those wrinkles again you can actually over a year’s time get those wrinkles to almost disappear. It’s miraculous! But what I wanted to say about Botox that’s very important to understand it’s one of the best anti-aging tools we have in our armamentarium against aging.
I have patients that have had Botox for many years they come back every three months. I’m not kidding they almost are stuck in time. It’s not to say they don’t age physiologically but if you look at the areas that we inject the Botox they almost stay where they were when we started injecting them.
So it’s really good for that purpose, so remember when you’re ready to do Botox remember it’s not an eraser it’s not just going to make all your wrinkles go away, but if you keep up with it every three months over time the wrinkles are going to go away and you’re going to stop the aging process, as well as you could with any other modality.
PRP Therapy
PRP Therapy or plasma injections are excellent for the rejuvenation of your skin. When Dr. Gardner, Dr. Baccaro, Dr. Walsh, or Dr. Bonett inject it into the necessary areas, its high concentration of platelets will stimulate and promote the production of new collagen. New collagen means that your skin will be revitalized which in turn leads to firm youthful skin. As a result, PRP significantly reduces wrinkles and other imperfections.
Fat Transfer
