Dr. Christine Lee and her skilled team at The Skin and Laser Treatment Institute don’t want you to worry about the safety of and results from Botox.
Botox is a masterful way to soften the effects of repeated muscle contractions made subconsciously while you concentrate or during stressful situations. You may be exploring options for: “What Botox Injections are Near Me in Walnut Creek?” The best dermatologist to evaluate your needs, and develop an effective customized approach, Dr. Lee, is adept at precisely injecting Botox into those “usual suspect” areas like forehead where frown lines arise, as well as around the mouth and neck.
Some dermatologists may suggest Botox is designed for the upper part of the face, while dermal fillers are designed for the lower part of the face. Consider that Botox’s power comes from relaxing the specific muscles responsible for expression lines. Chronic lip-pursing and teeth-clenching can cause wrinkles around the lips. Likewise, you may develop platysmal bands due to straining your neck during workouts, for example. This strain produces protruding vertical strips running along both sides of your neck to the jaw. Dr. Lee may inject Botox in these bands or the lip area to relax muscles and produce a softer, smoother look. A few more eyebrow-raising facts about Botox, which should put your mind and worry lines at ease:
