BOTOX® Injections
BOTOX® is a purified protein that has been used successfully by ophthalmologists to treat different eye muscle problems for over 10 years. In cosmetic procedures, it is used to help ease the frown lines between the eyebrows, forehead lines and crows feet. It works by weakening the muscles that are causing creases or lines around the eyes and forehead. When the muscle is weakened, the skin over that muscle relaxes and the wrinkles in the skin gradually soften and often disappear completely. Since it doesn't affect the nerve, there is no numbness and it will not affect any other facial expression. In some patients, it can be effective for lipstick lines on the upper lip or vertical neck bands.

Before the injection, we use a topical numbing cream combined with ice. The patient may experience a small sting, then no discomfort. The effects of BOTOX® usually last three to four months. After several treatments, the effects may begin to last longer.

 
 

Permanent Makeup Offered at our Dallas, Texas Practice

Permanent Cosmetics, also know as Micropigmentation, is a revolutionary innovation in makeup that any woman can enjoy. It is the process by which color is permanently implanted with a needle or group of needles into the dermal layer of the skin. Micropigmentation can be performed to enhance your eyes, eyebrows, and lips. It will also enhance your overall appearance by giving your skin and facial features more color and definition.

Lip Liner/Color
The procedure is a wonderful solution for women who have difficulty keeping lipstick on. It can even be used to reshape asymmetrical or thin lips. A soft, natural lip color can be achieved or a more dramatic color, if desired. A dental block is given to eliminate discomfort. Anyone with a history of fever blisters or shingles will be given a prescription for an antiviral medication to help prevent the possibility of the virus erupting after the procedure.

Eyebrows
Permanent color for eyebrows can mimic the appearance of hair in the brow line. Anyone who desires more fullness of the brows will love the procedure and the time saved not applying pencil. Women who have had a loss of eyebrows due to disease, medication, trauma, or aging should consider this simple and effective procedure.

Eye Liner
Eyeliner enhances all eyes, no matter what shape or color. Permanent eyeliner can create a subtle, natural look with pigment placed only in the lash line, making the lashes look fuller and thicker. Some may opt for a bolder, more definite line. With permanent eyeliner, tears, perspiration, or water won't fade or smudge your color. It is a popular procedure for those who wear contact lenses, are allergic to conventional makeup, or have dexterity difficulties which inhibit accuracy when applying eyeliner.
