Walnut Creek area dermatologist describes Botox injections

When patients visit the practice of The Skin and Laser Treatment Institute they often ask Dr. Christine Lee about the ways in which they can reduce the inevitable signs of aging. Everyone wants to “age gracefully” and can do so with the help of dermal fillers and other injectables such as Botox. Dr. Christine Lee of the Walnut Creek area has seen the results that Botox can provide for patients with fine lines and wrinkles on the upper portion of the face. Botox can be injected into the forehead, between the brows, and crow’s feet.

Botox is a neuromodulator that can reduce muscle contractions when injected into the face. By reducing the movement of the muscles, Botox injections can help reduce the depth of folds and wrinkles. Made of botulinum toxin A, Botox has been FDA approved for both cosmetic and medical purposes. In fact, Botox has been used for many years for the treatment of hyperhidrosis, cervical dystonia, migraine headaches, and temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ).

Botox injections are completed during an in-office visit with Dr. Christine Lee and starts with a consultation. Patients can show the doctor the areas of concern and speak with her regarding the best solution. In some cases, dermal fillers may be more appropriate, while in others, Botox may provide the desired results. There are also times in which Dr. Christine Lee may use a combination of Botox injections and dermal filers for a “liquid facelift.” Treatments such as these allow patients to enjoy the reduced signs of aging without having to go under the knife for cosmetic surgery.

Dr. Christine Lee happily accepts new patients for Botox injections, dermal fillers, and other cosmetic procedures through her state-of-the-art practice in the Walnut Creek area. She works with patients to determine the best anti-aging methods available and the most appropriate solution for their needs.
