Have you been curious about Botox and wonder if it’s right for you? Maybe you’ve seen photos of Hollywood stars or other media personalities who have undergone Botox treatments and have barely recognized them or have been a little bit shocked by what you see – and not in a good way.

According to a recent article on WebMD.com, there are two kinds of Botox: “bad Botox” and “good Botox.”

Here’s what bad Botox looks like:

• The face doesn’t move.
• The eyebrows create a scowling look.
• Parts of the face don’t look consistent with each another.
• The eyebrows seem to be stuck in a perpetually “surprised” look.
• The corners of the mouth are uneven or curve up way too much.

Good Botox, on the other hand, looks like this:

• Natural and soft. Facial movement is still there but maybe just not quite as much.
• All parts of the face look consistent with each one another.
• Eyebrows are in a natural position and move with various facial expressions.
• Your face looks rested, as though you’ve just come back from a vacation.
• There are some wrinkles consistent with age, but at about 10 years younger.

At Willow, Botox is administered under the care of a medical doctor who is highly experienced with the treatment. We fully evaluate your particular situation, determine if Botox is right for you, and then plan an effective treatment that’s tailored for the best results – the “Good Botox.”

If you’ve always been curious about Botox but have been hesitant to give it a try, let’s talk about what it can and can’t do for you. Once you know what to expect, you can make a informed decision and enjoy all the potential benefits it has to offer.

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers can be used to plump up lips, soften wrinkles and creases and improve the appearance of scars. Aging results in the loss of subcutaneous fat in the face, making smile lines and crow’s feet more apparent.

Dermal fillers work to restore volume and fullness in the face and cost less than a traditional facelift while delivering dramatic results. Results last from four months to one year. Injectable fillers can be used to fill in a line, crease or add volume and shape to an area.

Botox

Botox is a very popular cosmetic treatment that is injected directly into the muscle. It relaxes the facial muscles temporarily and is used to treat frown lines, forehead creases, crow’s feet and lines around the mouth. After treatment, you can see visible results in three to five days and full results in up to two weeks. Botox is not injected into wrinkles. Instead, it is injected at the point where the muscle contracts.

This treatment method is one of the most common cosmetic procedures and is used to soften the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Results last three months or longer.

Laser Skin Resurfacing

Laser skin resurfacing is also known as a laser peel. The goal of a laser peel is to make skin appear smoother, tighter, more even in texture, tone, and color. The treatment consists of a physician passing the laser over the area to be treated. The laser emits s beam of light that causes controlled damage to the top layers of skin. A cooling preparation is applied afterward to reduce swelling and minimize discomfort. Peels stimulate collagen regeneration by removing the outer layers of the skin to reveal new, healthy skin.
