WHY CHOOSE BOTOX®?
Benefits of Botox®
Botox® is most effective in the upper third of the face, and is used to relax dynamic wrinkles in the glabellar area (in between the brows, often called the “11” lines). It works well in the horizontal lines of the forehead and also to relax crow’s feet around the eyes. Botox is injected in less than 30 minutes, using a tiny needle. There is little to no pain, and results can be seen in 3-7 days.
Haruko Okada, MD
Physician & Owner, Stratus Plastic Surgery
Botox® is an effective and safe wrinkle relaxer that offers natural-looking, youthful results. Though treatment is available in many places, Botox® is best administered by an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon with an in-depth knowledge of facial anatomy and the dynamics of the underlying muscles. Dr. Okada has many years of experience helping patients enjoy the rejuvenating effects that treatment with Botox® offers.
Options for Botox®
Many patients seek treatment for stubborn frown lines on the forehead or around the eyes, but others are more proactive, choosing to treat wrinkles before they deepen. Other patients come to us seeking masseter Botox®, a jawline slimming treatment that also helps with pain due to jaw-clenching and tooth-grinding. Botox can also help alleviate pain from TMJ.
