Botox is used to reduce wrinkling on the forehead and around the eyes. The wrinkles in these areas are caused by underlying muscles that pull the skin and cause it to form unsightly wrinkles. Botox is an extract from E. Botulini that paralyzes these muscles and prevents the skin from being wrinkled. The injections are virtually painless and require minimal post-op care. The effects of this medication increase with every session, usually done every six to twelve months depending on the person. Botox not only keeps wrinkles from showing, but also prevents new ones from occurring.
Collagen treatments introduce bovine collagen into wrinkles. The collagen fills them to the same level as your normal skin and the wrinkles disappear. Collagen is also used to augment your lips, making them fuller.
