Botox is a purified protein toxin that is derived
from a specific form of bacteria. It was originally
utilized as a remedy for neck and facial spasms,
but in the last decade it has been used effectively
to remove facial wrinkles.
No matter how well skin is preserved and pampered,
everyone eventually develops facial wrinkles.
Fortunately, there are a number of options available
to remove the lines that accompany aging. Botox
is perhaps the easiest of all these options. Botox
is an extremely quick approach to softening or
removing the natural wrinkles between the eyes
(frown lines), on the forehead, at the sides of
the eyes (crow's feet), or at the base of the
nose (glabellar frown lines).

When we are young, our skin is soft and elastic,
free from the facial lines and tissue damage caused
by time, injury, and disease. This youthful looking
skin is due, in a large part, to collagen, the
fibrous protein that forms the underlying support
layer beneath the skin. Over time, the skin's
network of collagen begins to weaken, causing
the skin to lose its elasticity. Collagen injections
have been used for decades to replenish the skin's
suppleness and help maintain its youthful appearance.
Collagen Replacement Therapy is a safe, nonsurgical
treatment that can smooth out facial lines and
scars, as well as improve the look of specific
parts of the body.

Facelift is a procedure performed in order to
reverse the effects of age, gravity, exposure
to the sun, and daily stress by removing excess
fat, tightening facial muscles, and readjusting
the facial skin. A facelift is also an excellent
procedure for those with excess skin hanging from
the neck or jowls. A facelift may be done in combination
with other facial procedures such as a forehead
lift (brow lift), eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty),
or a nose job (rhinoplasty.)
Facelift is a highly individualized procedure
that your surgeon will tailor to your unique bone
structure, skin texture, and underlying muscle
tone. Facelifts do not improve skin texture, although
they can be done in conjunction with procedures
that do improve texture, such as laser or chemical
skin peels.

Surgery to reshape the nose is a common cosmetic
procedure that can have profound results on a
person's appearance and self-confidence. Rhinoplasty
can accomplish any number of changes, including
size augmentation or reduction, a narrowing of
the nostrils, changes in the bridge or tip of
the nose, or an alteration to the angle of the
nose and upper lip. Regardless of the specific
purpose, surgery to reshape the nose creates a
more contoured and shapely nose.

There are many ways to enhance your lips. Some
of these techniques provide temporary results,
while others are permanent. The most common technique
for augmenting the lips is to use injections of
fat, collagen or other prepared substances. Treatments
are relatively quick and easy. With all injected
materials, treatments must be repeated periodically
to maintain results. The lips often may be enhanced
at the same time as other facial surgery is performed,
using your own tissues.

The area surrounding the eyes is one of the first
to show the signs of aging. Eyelid surgery, or
blepharoplasty, corrects for sagging upper eyelids
and for the bags that form just below the eyes.
Eyelid surgery can wash away years of aging, giving
your eyes a smoother and more youthful appearance.

A forehead lift will correct or improve skin wrinkling,
correct sagging of the eyebrows which often occurs
as part of the aging process, and help to smooth
horizontal expression lines in your forehead and
vertical frown lines between your eyebrows.
