Botox & Fillers

What is Botox? 

Botox Cosmetic is a natural, highly purified protein that’s injected just beneath the surface of your skin to erase fine lines and soften deep wrinkles temporarily. Botox is FDA-approved for use to help diminish the appearance of:

• Forehead lines
• Eyebrow furrows
• Crow’s feet

As a neurotoxin, it works by blocking the nerve signals that cause your facial muscles to contract. When injected beneath the surface of your skin in just the right areas, Botox leaves you with naturally smooth skin that has fewer lines and wrinkles.  

How long does Botox last?

Botox is the most popular cosmetic injectable partly because it delivers immediate results — most people see noticeably smoother skin within 24-48 hours. It also carries few risks or side effects and requires virtually no post-procedure downtime. 

While Botox is long-lasting, you’ll need injections every 3-6 months to maintain your new, younger-looking skin. 

What are dermal fillers? 

Dermal fillers are minimally invasive cosmetic injectables made with collagen, hyaluronic acid, and other purified substances that help revitalize your skin and restore lost volume. When skillfully injected into just the right spot, they temporarily reverse age-related facial deflation, erase fine lines, and smooth out deep wrinkles and furrows. 

The team at Integrated Dermatology of Brookline-Andover can use dermal fillers to:

• Diminish deep wrinkles 
• Subtly enhance your lips
• Flesh out your cheeks

Like Botox, dermal fillers are one of the most commonly requested aesthetic treatments because they deliver beautiful results with little to no downtime or side effects.
