Botox, Fillers and Skin Care
The aging of the baby boomers has ignited the innovation of newer and less invasive procedures so that one can continue to look young without having to take any time off of work.
As the number of invasive facial procedures has continued to decline gradually, the number of non invasive procedures has risen exponentially. Skin care, Botox® and fillers are now the corner stone of facial rejuvenation.
Botox® is the most common cosmetic procedure performed in the United States today. Botox® is a highly purified protein and once injected in specific muscles of the face it causes weakness of that muscle and leads to softening of wrinkles and lines. Botox® has many different applications and for example can be used to lift sagging eyebrows and neck bands.
Fillers are used to reduce or eliminate deep wrinkles and lines. Some of the most common areas for fillers include the laugh lines, lips, cheeks, temples and lower eyelid hollowness. It is exciting to see that the use of fillers has continued to grow and commonly they are used to reestablish the youthful facial volume.
