Botox


An early sign of aging is wrinkle formation; as time passes, these wrinkles can become permanent. When you smile, laugh or frown, you are using your facial muscles. These muscle movements can create permanent wrinkling of the skin. This is especially evident around the eye, forehead and between the eyebrows. Botox®  decreases muscular contractions which allow the lines to soften and disappear.  

No injector is more qualified to use Botox® correctly than a plastic surgeon who has a profound understanding of facial muscle structure. Dr. Zaluzec offers an extraordinary level of personal care and performs Botox® injections with superior skills, to create a natural, refreshed look – never fake or frozen. 

Botox® is an FDA-approved injectable that prevents specific facial muscles from contracting and creating wrinkles and lines. It is a neuromodulator made from botulinum toxin type A. Botox® can be used in many areas of the face and body:

  • The FDA has approved the use of Botox® Cosmetic for forehead lines, frown lines, and crow's feet. 
  • Additional target areas include thick bands in the neck, thick jaw muscles (relating to bruxism and jaw pain), gummy smiles, and hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) of the underarms.
     

You can expect to see results within five to seven days, with the smoothing effect lasting for up to six months. Regular treatments will maintain your enhanced look.

Who is a good candidate for Botox® treatment:

  • Anyone looking to enhance her or his appearance by getting rid of unwanted lines or wrinkles.
  • People in good physical health, are not pregnant or nursing and do not have a neuromuscular disorder.
  • Adults between the ages of 18 to 65.
