Botox

Dr. Nicholas Bastidas uses Botox to freeze muscles in order to eliminate Crow's Feet and frown lines above eyebrows.Botulinium Toxin-A (Botox™) is a neuromodulator that can used to temporarily weaken muscles of the face that lead to prominent wrinkles. The technique involves a small series of injections using a very fine needle to place the Botox into the designated areas. Effects are typically seen around days 4-7 and may last up to 6-9 months. The technique is safe with very minimal potential side effects. In particular, wrinkles around the eye, forehead and frown lines can be softened using these products and create a more youthful, rested look. Many of our patients begin at a younger age to prevent deep wrinkles from forming.
