Twenty years ago, a face lift was the only way to get rid of<br />
wrinkly, sagging skin. Today, thanks to the invention of Botox<br />
therapy, dermal fillers, and skin rejuvenation techniques, there<br />
is a much less painful and time-consuming way to give you the<br />
results you desire. All of these procedures can take years off<br />
the face – and can be done during your lunch hour, with no<br />
invasive surgery and little recovery time.<br />
BOTOX THERAPY<br />
Description of the treatment:<br />
Botox /Dysport is a natural purified protein that temporarily<br />
relaxes the muscles that cause lines and wrinkles. It is most<br />
commonly used to soften frown lines, crow’s feet and<br />
forehead lines and prevent them from deepening. Both men<br />
and women benefit from this safe and effective treatment.<br />
When administered by an experienced practitioner, you will<br />
retain natural expression, without risk of that “frozen” look.<br />
Procedure:<br />
After consent and education, the actual treatment is relatively<br />
quick – around 10 minutes. There is no downtime at all.<br />
Tiny doses are injected into the area being treated. There is<br />
minimal pain, with most clients experiencing a stinging that<br />
passes immediately.<br />
Outcome:<br />
It takes three to four days to see results, with the full effects<br />
appearing after 14 days. You will still have positive facial<br />
expression and will look generally refreshed with softening of<br />
wrinkles and lines in the treated area. On average, lasts<br />
four months.<br />
Cost:<br />
Face Value charges $18/unit of Botox, $6 for Dysport, with<br />
the average cost of the frown area $360.
