Reduce or Prevent the Appearance of Wrinkles

Millions of people have been safely treated with BOTOX® for a variety of medical conditions. One of its most famous applications is for the treatment of wrinkles. Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Buonassisi uses BOTOX® to minimize the appearance of wrinkles around the eyes and smooth a furrowed brow and forehead.

Common Wrinkle Areas Treated with BOTOX®

• Between the Eyebrows: The parallel vertical lines between the eyebrows are sometimes called the 11′s. Some people develop these frown furrows even in their early 20s if they frown easily due to sun-sensitive eyes. BOTOX® for the 11′s creates a slight smoothing and separating, leaving patients extremely happy with the result of their treatment. After one treatment, patients have a smoother, more youthful and refreshed appearance.

• Around the Eyes: Otherwise known as Crow’s feet which are the wrinkles that appear around the eyes when we smile. Over time, these creases become deeper and help contribute to an aged appearance. Dr. Buonassisi is an expert BOTOX® injector with the skill to create a subtle softening of the Crow’s Feet without creating an unnatural or over done look. More and more people are using BOTOX® as a way to prevent permanent wrinkles around the eyes.

• Frown Lines and Forehead Lines: Some of us find that we look like we are frowning even when we aren’t upset. Others find that over time, as a result of common facial movements, the lines in their forehead have become deeper and more noticeable, even at rest. BOTOX® effectively smooths out frown and forehead lines.

Is BOTOX® Cosmetic Right for You?

BOTOX® can significantly improve the appearance of facial lines and wrinkles, including lines on the outside of the eyes, on the forehead, and between the brows. Patients in their 20s to 70s have used BOTOX® to enjoy a smoother skin appearance – a wide range of people find that they are excellent candidates. The best way for a person to determine their candidacy for this treatment is to talk with Dr. Buonassisi during a consultation appointment.

Complements to BOTOX®

BOTOX® is an effective way to both prevent and correct wrinkles. For a comprehensive anti-aging routine, many patients combine the wrinkle reducing effects of BOTOX® with a daily skin care regime including antioxidants and sunscreen.
