Beverly Hills is not the only place to find the best in Botox.

Botox removes removes wrinkles in a very simple way.  Botox utilizes a natural, purified protein that is administered at very low doses to reduce the contractions of wrinkle causing muscles.  Usually, these are the muscles of your forehead and the corrugated muscles between your eyebrows.  These are the muscle that contract and cause you to look perpetually worried or angry.  These are the vertical set of lines between your brows that make you look tired, sad, or mad - and older.  Botox is the only nonsurgical way to smoothing away your “11’s."

Botox can also be a great wrinkle minimizer for crows' feet.  Other common uses include the little crinkly “bunny” lines on your nose and the platysma muscles in your neck to soften the vertical bands that start showing up as you get a little older.

While the results are real, it will not radically change your facial appearance.  These muscles are relaxed, so you can normally still frown, smile, or look surprised.

Not a “Frozen Face”

Dr. Fishman’s philosophy is a natural result.  This means opting for a moderate effect, so that you keep a natural ability to show emotions through facial movements.  Dr. Fishman has a long experience and an expert touch, so an unnatural look is very unlikely. It’s better to come in for a little “touch up," rather than wait out the effect from a heavy handed injection.  (Touch-ups within the first two weeks are on us.)

Botox Treatments

Botox procedures are quick, simple, and minimally invasive, with no anesthesia required.  Injections are administered with an ultra-fine needle directly into the area being treated.  Discomfort is minimal and brief, and once completed, there is usually no discomfort.  Most patients return directly to work or normal activities immediately.

Areas Treated

Botox treatments may be performed in a number of locations.  This includes the area between your brows, eye area, smile lines, and neck.  The benefit from Botox appears within 1 week and will usually last from 3 to 6 months.  The treatment is simple.

Did you know that by using Botox along with wrinkle fillers such as Restylane, Juvederm, and Radiesse, they will last longer?

Botox for Excessive Sweating

If you are one of the “unlucky ones” who has a problem with excessive sweating, you are painfully aware of how difficult it can be.  It can affect nearly all of the choices you make about the thing you do.

Called hyperhidrosis, it is caused by an over activity of the sweat producing glands.

Botox is proven effective for Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating).  The condition of severe and excessive sweating affects some 8 million people in the United States.  If you feel you have hyperhidrosis, visit Allergan’s website for a self assessment.  The International Hyperhidrosis Foundation has a very helpful website.

Beware of Bargain Botox

Your face and your health are not things you want to risk.  There are individuals who use bogus Botox offered at impossibly low prices. “If it sounds too good to be true... it probably is.”
