Aesthetic Medicine: Botox and Fillers

Tired of seeing wrinkles but still a little afraid of using BOTOX? Dr. Jerry Darm, of Aesthetic Medicine, joined us today to explain how BOTOX® Cosmetic works and how fillers can also help eliminate unwanted wrinkles.

BOTOX® Cosmetic is a prescription medicine that is injected into muscles and used to improve the look of moderate-to-severe frown lines between the brows in people 18 to 65 years of age for a short period of time (temporary). BOTOX® Cosmetic is administered by a healthcare professional as a simple, nonsurgical treatment that is injected directly into the muscles between the brows. It works by blocking nerve impulses to the injected muscles. This reduces muscle activity that causes moderate to severe lines to form between the brows.

Fillers are used to instantly smooth away wrinkles around your mouth and nose. With just one treatment, you’ll get smooth and natural-looking results that last up to a year.*
