Botox

When fine lines, wrinkles, and the most common early signs of aging start to make themselves known on the face and neck, the reality can be a bit upsetting. Whether you think this might have been spurred on by something like sun damage, or you’re just experiencing a normal part of the natural aging process, we’re here to help. We offer Botox, a non-surgical, minimally invasive treatment that can help to eliminate the presence of fine lines, wrinkles, and the earliest signs of aging in the face.

Non-Surgical Wrinkle Removal

If you’re feeling a bit flustered by those crow’s feet, wrinkles, and other fine lines that you see starting to creep in, you’re absolutely not alone. These can be a frustrating fact of life, but they’re also not always enough to necessarily send someone straight to the operating room. If you feel like this describes you, and you’re in Greenbrae, San Rafael, or the Marin County areas, Dr. Vila is here for you, offering Botox as a non-surgical wrinkle removal treatment that can smooth over your appearance and leave you looking more youthful and fresh--faced than ever before. Reach out and set up your consultation, and learn more about what this amazing treatment can do for you!

Am I a Good Candidate for Botox Injections?

When you come in for your consultation, Dr. Vila will meet with you and talk you through just about every option available to you, when it comes to accomplishing your cosmetic goals. If you’re interested in learning about what kinds of surgical options are available to you, Dr. Vila will happily walk you through each and every potential path that might lead you to your optimal results.

If you’re in Greenbrae, Marin County, or the San Rafael areas, you’re likely a great candidate for Botox to deal with:

Laugh lines
Wrinkles
Nasolabial folds
Lost volume
Skin laxity
Sun damage
Uneven texture

How Exactly Do Neuromodulators Work?

While they’re often just a part of the natural aging process, fine lines and wrinkles on the face don’t have to be. In many cases, Botox works to actively stop fine lines and wrinkles where they start, eliminating the cause for further wrinkles and smoothing over any that might have already developed.

Your face is made up of a relatively complex series of muscles, each one working to allow you to control your facial expressions, and so forth. Using these muscles is part of normal life, but doing so can also cause wrinkles to develop on the skin that sits just above these muscles. Over time, these wrinkles can become permanent.

Botox and other neuromodulators, then, work to actively block the signals from your nervous system that would normally tell these muscles to move. In other words, this treatment effectively paralyzes them. The result is the prevention of further wrinkles, and a reduction in the presence of those that had already formed.

How Do I Prepare for Botox?

During your consultation, Dr. Vila will work with you to determine the exact treatment area, and generally talk you through just about anything you’ll need to know about your procedure. You’ll get at least one consultation before your procedure, to talk over any questions you might have.

The nice thing about Botox is that it only takes a few minutes to perform the injections, meaning you can go through the procedure during your lunch break, before getting back to your daily routine without really missing a beat. It’s really quite fantastic!

Otherwise, that’s about it. We’ll help you out with a topical numbing cream before your procedure, if that’ll help you feel more comfortable. Most of our patients have no major discomfort whatsoever.

Safe, Easy, and FDA-Approved

Botox is easily one of the most popular wrinkle relaxing treatments available today, and a lot of this comes from the fact that it’s FDA approved, while also being just about as quick and easy as it gets. It’s easy to imagine that, given its non-surgical nature, Botox doesn’t really involve much of a recovery period or downtime. Still, our patients are frequently delighted to learn just how quick and easy the procedure actually is.

The Process Itself

In our comfortable medical facility, Dr. Vila will use a fine-gauged needle to inject Botox into the treatment area, following injection guidelines that the two of you worked out together, before your procedure.

Your Recovery Period

Beyond a bit of redness and some mild tingling in the treatment area, you won’t have any recovery period! You’ll be able to get back to work and your daily life more or less immediately, without skipping a beat!
