Botox is just one of several methods used for reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on the facial area. Botox is formulated with botulinum toxin type A, which is a neuromodulator that has been used for many years in medicine. When injected into muscles, it reduces contraction. When used in the facial area, patients will notice a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles caused by muscle contraction in the face. The results from Botox develop within a few days and can last several months before patients need to come in for reinjection. This injectable is cleared by the FDA and is safe for medical and cosmetic purposes. When certain muscles are treated, you can even achieve a lift to the brows or mouth corners.Who is a candidate for Botox?

All these work in diverse ways to achieve results, depending on their purpose and the area in which they are being injected. Collagen stimulators provide longer-term results, as they help in stimulating the body’s natural production of collagen and elastin. They are perfect for adding volume to hollow cheeks. Dermal fillers are available for patients who want to address fine lines and wrinkles on the face. These fillers are made of hyaluronic acid and are a gel that can fill lines and wrinkles to provide results for many months. All of these can be used together for many of our patients to provide amazing improvements in the appearance of the facial area. We offer a variety of brands and formulas and encourage patients to ask questions about our aesthetic injectables, so they can determine which one is best suited for their goals.Schedule a visit with our New Orleans, LA professional
