Dr. Jonathan Abenaim is proud to offer his patients BOTOX®, Cosmetic Treatments.
BOTOX® Cosmetic Treatment is a revolutionary approach to treating crows feet, worry lines and laugh lines. These can all be a thing of the past.
BOTOX® Cosmetic Treatment are a non-surgical painless procedure which offers the following cosmetic benefits:
- Improves dynamic lines and wrinkles due to facial expressions
- Diminishes creases around the eye area including crow’s feet
- Lifts eyebrows
- Improves frown lines of the forehead
- Improves worry lines between the eyebrows
- Reduces lines of the lower face and neck
Before Treatment
To better understand your overall health, Dr. Abenaim will evaluate your medical history prior to surgery. In addition, a complete examination of your eyes is made in order to decide the most effective injection sites. All issues and concerns will be discussed.
The areas that will be treated are marked and digital photographs are taken in order to determine the amount of improvement after surgery.
The BOTOX® Cosmetic Procedure
BOTOX® Cosmetic injections are performed without anesthesia because they are virtually painless. Only a very small sting is felt when the injections are made. The effects are not permanent and may need to be repeated two to three times per year to retain the effects. Research has suggested, however, that long term use of the injections leads to a longer duration of each treatment's effect. Patients over the age of 65 may not experience such dramatic results. BOTOX® Cosmetic is only useful in treating expression lines and cannot be used to repair sagging skin caused by aging.
Post-Treatment Information
After the treatment patients may experience slight bruising around the area that quickly fades. Normal activities can be performed immediately. Possible side effects are temporary weakness of nearby muscles or in rare cases an eyelid may droop. BOTOX® Cosmetic is completely reversible so any side effect is only a temporary condition. Dr. Abenaim will explain all risks associated at the time of your consultation.
Injectable Fillers
In addition to BOTOX® Cosmetic, we also offer Hyaluronic Acid Injectable Fillers Restylane® and Juvederm® – compounds that are injected into the skin to:
- Add fullness
- Augment the lips
- Reduce the appearance of wrinkles
These injectable fillers have proven to be safe and effective, and many are derived from materials that occur naturally in the human body. Hyaluronic acid fillers are said to offer longer lasting results than collagen-based fillers. To learn which filler might be right for you, set up a consultation with Dr. Abenaim immediately.
