In addition to traditional skin care, Botox is a powerful weapon in the battle against facial wrinkles. When facial muscles contract, the overlying skin responds with a wrinkle. This action is responsible for the characteristic features of “crows feet,” forehead furrows, and frown lines. Botox temporarily weakends the muscle that is treated. Areas treated with Botox remain smooth and soft when you smile or frown. Dr. Lattman's expertise with botox will allow you to minimize your wrinkles without a frozen or artifical look.
Depressions and hollows in the face and around the eyes are treated by Dr. Lattman with fillers. Common areas that are treated include the hollows under the eyes, depressions around the mouth and nose, sunken cheeks and shruken lips and lip lines.
In the office Dr Lattman will choose from a wide selection of fillers to best meet her patients needs. Common fillers used by Dr. Lattman include Restylane, Juviderm, Radiesse, Perlane, and Fat. The procedure usually take only about 10 minutes and petients resume normal activities that day.
Botox and facial fillers are compatible and are often used together to give an overall smooth and natural look to the face.
Botox and Facial fillers are done in the office and can be combined with other surgical procedures such as blepahoplasty or brow lift.
