Medical and cosmetic Botox

At our practice, we are committed to providing the highest quality care with the latest advancements in medical treatments. One of the most effective and popular treatments we offer is botulinum toxin, commonly known as Botox. As an ophthalmologist and oculoplastic surgeon, I specialize in using Botox to treat various conditions in order to either enhance the natural beauty of our patients or treat neurological conditions of the face and neck.

How does Botox work?

Botox works by temporarily blocking nerve signals to the muscles, causing them to relax and reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

In higher dosages it prevents muscle spasms, which happen spontaneously and uncontrollably in certain neurological conditions.

Medical Uses of Botox

* Blepharospasm or facial spasm :

Issue: Involuntary and uncontrollable blinking or eyelid twitching.

Treatment: Botox injections can help relax the muscles around the eyes, reducing spasms and providing relief from discomfort.

* Strabismus :

Issue: Misalignment of the eyes, commonly known as crossed eyes.

Treatment: Botox can be injected into the eye muscles to temporarily realign the eyes, improving appearance and function.

* Migraines :

Issue: Severe, recurring headaches often accompanied by nausea and sensitivity to light and sound.

Treatment: Botox injections around the head and neck can help prevent migraines, reducing the frequency and severity of attacks.

* Profuse sweating :

Issue: Profusely sweating arms, feet, underarms or forehead

Treatment : Botox injections in those areas decrease significantly sweating.

* Chronic pain :

Issue: Chronic pain due to trigeminal neuralgia.

Treatment : Botox injections decrease or eliminate neuralgia in specific loci of pain.

Cosmetic Uses of Botox

* Forehead Lines :

Issue: Horizontal lines that form across the forehead due to facial expressions.

Treatment: Botox injections can smooth out these lines, giving the forehead a more youthful and relaxed appearance.

* Crow's Feet :

Issue: Fine lines that appear at the corners of the eyes, often caused by smiling or squinting.

Treatment: Botox can reduce the appearance of crow's feet, resulting in a smoother and more youthful eye area.

* Glabellar Lines :

Issue: Vertical lines between the eyebrows, also known as frown lines.

Treatment: Botox injections can soften these lines, creating a more relaxed and pleasant facial expression.

* Smoker Lines / Gummy Smile :

Issue: Vertical lines around the mouth created from smoking or visible gums when smiling.

Treatment : Botox injection can smoothen the lines around the lips or make the smile look more natural.

* Brow Lift :

Issue: Mildly drooping eyebrows that give a sad appearance to the face

Treatment: Mild elevation of the eyebrows, more significant when the forehead remains untreated with Botox.
