Botox

Botox is the number one cosmetic treatment today.

Botox is a highly effective chemical that relaxes the muscles that cause wrinkles on the face. One of the most popular areas to treat with Botox is the area between the eyebrows. When this area is furrowed you look stern or serious. Relaxing this area can give you a more relaxed and youthful appearance. Dermal Fillers can also be helpful to restore the area once it is relaxed.

Other areas of the face are also treated with Botox. Dr. Richardson can explore with you the other areas of your face that might benefit from Botox treatment. He can also show you before and after pictures from other patients with similar problem areas. The results of Botox last approximately 3 - 4 months.

Botox is also used to treat Hyperhydrosis or excessive sweating. Many people who have suffered for years with this embarrassing condition find relief with Botox. The treatment is FDA approved. It works by by temporarily blocking the chemical signals from the nerves that stimulate the sweat glands. When the sweat glands don't receive chemical signals, the severe sweating stops. Treatment effect typically lasts nine months.
