Minimally invasive wrinkle reduction option from Specialist in Stockton

Limiting exposure to the UV rays and avoiding habits like smoking can minimize damage to the skin that shows up as dark spots, lines and wrinkles. What we can’t control is the natural aging process.   As we get older, reduced amounts of fat, supportive collagen and elastin fibers, and natural oils converge with the cumulative effect of repeated facial expressions. The result is loose, sagging skin and lines on the face and other parts of the body. Over time, these lines may become deeper wrinkles and furrows.   Over-the-counter creams and other products may slightly improve the appearance of … Continue reading

What was discovered through this research was that an adverse reaction occurred when three millimeters or more of gum tissue was visible … Continue reading

The Journal of Psychiatric Research reports that an early study conducted by Germany’s Hannover Medical School found compelling evidence that Botox treatment in the facial muscles responsible for frowning may alleviate the symptoms of clinical depression.   When our facial muscles express emotion, feedback signals are sent to the brain, reinforcing those emotions. Professor Tillman Kruger, study investigator, stated that Botox interrupts this cycle. Investigators stated that a positive effect on mood has been observed in those who have received Botox treatment for the frown lines between the brows (glabellar lines).   Past psychiatric studies found that even forced smiles … Continue reading
