Do you have deep wrinkles between your eyebrows or on your forehead? Or perhaps you may have crows feet around the eyes, down-turned corners of the mouth, or thickened neck muscle bands? Fortunately, there is an easy way to correct these imperfections without surgery. Treatment with BOTOX® Cosmetic at Ohio Laser & Wellness Centers can visibly smooth wrinkles between your brows, around your eyes, on your forehead and chin. BOTOX® injections are safe and have been FDA-approved for over 16 years. BOTOX® is administered using several tiny injections directly into the muscles that cause wrinkles. It relaxes the muscles under the skin and causes the underlying skin to become smoother. No anesthesia is required and discomfort is minimal. After treatment with BOTOX®, an improvement can be seen within days and may last up to 3 to 4 months. Some wrinkles, especially in younger patients, may temporarly go away completely while others will be further improved with dermal filler injection (see below). Our clinician customizes your treatment during your FREE consultation.
At Ohio Laser & Wellness Centers, you can now receive BOTOX for excessive sweating of the underarms. Some individuals are inconvenienced by sweating that is so severe that anti-perspirants are not effective. This leads to drenched clothing at mild temperatures, causing embarrassment at work and social situations. If you suffer from excessive sweating, otherwise known as hyperhidrosis, you may feel held back socially and in your career due to this problem. We now offer BOTOX to put this problem to rest. You can get months of normalized or absent underarm sweating through the injection of BOTOX directly into the skin in that area. BOTOX takes effect after approximately 3 days, and is usually maximal after two weeks. It is approximately 90% effective and generally lasts about 6 months, with a range of 3 to 12 months. In a study by Hornberger et al, mean sweat production at 24 weeks was still below 50% of the preinjection level. 92% of patients were satisfied with the treatment at 4 weeks after injection. 50 units per side is the recommended starting dose. Side effects are uncommon and this amount of BOTOX is considered safe.
Ever wish that you had sexier, fuller lips? Well, now you can! Ohio Laser & Wellness Centers offers Restylane, Perlane and Juvederm injections. These are dermal fillers that can be used to augment the lips or fill in deep lines around the nose and mouth. With Restylane injections, lips can be made to appear fuller and smoother and your lip line can be more defined. In addition, deep wrinkles such as the nasolabial folds (that separate the cheeks from the upper lip), the corners of the mouth, and other folds on the face can be filled in so that you appear younger and more relaxed. Restylane is composed of hyaluronic acid, a substance that is naturally present in your body. It is extremely safe and the risk of allergic reaction is very rare. Perlane is similar to Restylane but lasts 6-18 months and it is for deeper wrinkles. To minimize discomfort, anesthetic cream is used topically to numb the areas being treated. After treatment with these fillers, results can be seen immediately. Results last approximately 6 months with Restylane and Juvederm and 6-18 months with Perlane. Treatments can be repeated at that time. Your satisfaction is our priority. We urge you to come in for a free, no-obligation consultation to see if Restylane or other cosmetic procedures that we offer are right for you. Call today.
In the past, the only way to achieve dramatic results was with a facelift. This surgical procedure can still take years off the appearance, but at a cost of tens of thousands of dollars and weeks of recovery time.
Now there's a much easier, and more affordable way to turn back the clock.
The liquid facelift combines Botox and dermal filler injections with a prescription-strength chemical peel and prescription skin care products to use at home. There are no stitches, no anesthesia and no downtime. Results appear immediately!
Injection with Botox takes about 15 minutes. Shortly thereafter, Botox begins blocking nerve transmission to specific muscles, putting those muscles to rest for the next few months. That causes wrinkles in the affected muscles to virtually disappear.
Dermal fillers are used to smooth away wrinkles. These wrinkles are already etched into the skin, without any muscle action. Fillers like Restylane and Juvederm augment the body's own collagen, plumping the wrinkle so it disappears. Both are FDA-approved for the treatment of facial wrinkling. The can also be used to enhance the smile, making thin lips appear fuller and more sensuous.
A chemical peel produces a controlled injury to the skin. This initiates a wound healing process that regenerates the epidermis. The result is skin that is smoother and more even in tone and texture as pigmentation irregularities and superficial scarring disappear.
Prescription skin care products are then used at home to enhance and maintain results. Available exclusively from Ohio Laser & Wellness Center, these contain medical-grade ingredients that help nourish the skin while gently cleansing, toning and moisturizing.
