Botox Cosmetic

The introduction of Botox in 2002 has been one of the most significant development in the field of Cosmetic Dermatology.  It is currently the most popular single Cosmetic Dermatologic procedure.  Botox has been used therapeutically since 1990 and has gained an amazing safety profile.  In 2002 it was FDA approved for the relaxation of the frown lines that form between the eyebrows.  Botox treatment involves quick, tiny, painless injections into the overactive muscles that cause a wrinkle.  The result is a more relaxed facial expression that lasts for several months.  Millions of patients have been thrilled with the results of Botox treatment.  In addition to frown lines, other areas of the face can be treated such as the crows feet, forehead furrows, and marionette lines.  In the expert hands of the Van Dyke Laser & Skin staff patients can expect to achieve a natural, softer, more relaxed appearance.
