Botox and Other Therapies

Not all wrinkles are alike. Some known as dynamic wrinkles, are caused by repeated muscular contractions such as frowning, squinting and brow furrowing. Botox Cosmetic and other injectable therapies can reduce dynamic wrinkles by preventing the muscles from contracting. Other therapies can fill in wrinkles to create a smoother skin surface.


Laser Facial Resurfacing

Laser facial resurfacing is a technique that removes the upper layers of the facial skin using a laser. It is a way of improving the look of the skin without having full cosmetic surgery. It can be effective for reducing mild scarring, or the effects of sun damage, such as fine wrinkles.
