What Creates a Wrinkle?
Many wrinkles are actually creases that have been worn into the skin by making the same expression thousands of times. These "expression lines," often called frown lines or crow's feet, are due to the contraction of muscle under the skin in that area.
What is Botox®?
Botox® is a purified protein toxin produced by the clostridium botulinum bacteria. Although Botox® is a toxin, there have been no serious side effects. This is because, for the treatment described, it is used in extremely small amounts and does not spread throughout the body.
How is Botox® Used?
A few drops of Botox® are injected with a tiny needle into the muscle that creates a wrinkle. When Botox®is injected into a muscle, it blocks the nerve impulse from reaching that area, and as a result, the muscle weakens. As the muscle weakens, the skin overlying the muscle relaxes and the wrinkles in the skin gradually soften and often disappear.
What is Collagen or Restylane®?
These injectables are a fast, safe, nonsurgical way to reduce the appearance of facial lines and wrinkles. The procedure is performed in the doctor's office - this means there's no hospital stay required. Specifically, you can smooth facial lines, wrinkles and scars, and also enhance the lip border in just one treatment session, and see immediate, visible results!

How does Collagen or Restylane® work?
These injectables are natural substances injected just beneath the skin's surface, where the body commonly accepts them as its own. This Treatment produces an immediately visible difference in the appearance of your skin. Most patients notice a softening of facial lines, wrinkles, and scars, or a more defined lip border, in just one treatment session.

What can I expect from my treatment?
While healing time varies, many people have the procedure and return to work that same day. The results of treatment can last from 3 to 6 months. Just like natural Collagen, injectable Collagen eventually breaks down, so ongoing treatments are necessary to maintain the results you desire. If treatments are discontinued altogether, the fillers are simply reabsorbed by your body over time, and your face gradually returns to its natural contours.
