People come in, and they’re concerned about wrinkles on their forehead or deep creases in around here, they call them their elevens or the sort of crows feet on the sides of their eyes. I believe that a neurotoxin, which is Botox, which I use mostly — and there is another product out there called Disport — and that has shown to be very safe and effective as well. But a neurotoxin is really the best thing that you could use.
Now, what is Botox or how does this work? It’s a purified protein. But what it does is this material stops your nerve endings from actually
interacting with the muscle fibers. So, it creates a blockade there right at that juncture, and by blockading that, the muscle isn’t allowed to contract. So, if the muscle doesn’t contract, it doesn’t form the wrinkle. And over time, if you use it enough, it actually atrophies, and it shrinks, and the wrinkle becomes less and less apparent. However, that usually is somewhere between four to six months. So, every four to six months, you really need to do something, and you’ll slowly notice the wrinkles starting to come back. A Botox treatment generally costs between $200-$400, and that will treat your forehead, this area here called the glabella, and/or around your eyes.
