Botox

Over the past several years, Dr. Johnson has treated many patients who have elected Botox, a purified protein, to temporarily erase worry lines. Botox can be an excellent alternative to surgery. At the Center for Aesthetic Surgery, Dr. Johnson most commonly uses Botox to treat the vertical lines between the eyebrows, frown lines, horizontal lines on the forehead, or crow's feet, the wrinkling along side of the eyes, Bands or strings along the neck may also respond to this treatment.

Botox is injected into small muscles in the face or neck, temporarily blocking the nerve endings to reduce wrinkles, stress and tension that are reflected in the face. A few local pricks, taking minutes, can complete the treatment, softening the lines caused by a frown or squint. Although the injection can wear off in six months, repeat treatment can thin or flatten the muscles and keep the tension wrinkles from reappearing. Patients are delighted with their improvements and enjoy the tension free after glow.
