All Botox treatments are performed by Dr. Martin Blume or Dr. Jennifer McMahon.
Our facial expressions change because the muscles in the face contract or relax. This is caused by the brain sending a signal via our nerve endings that we want to, for example, frown or laugh. When Botox® is injected into a specific muscle it blocks the signal from the nerve to the muscles in the face. This means that the nerve ending cannot tell the muscle to move. This is not a permanent condition, however, but it will last for around 3 - 4 months. After Botox injections, your skin around the area which has been treated will look smooth and less wrinkled; but do not worry, the rest of your face will not be affected. Botox® allows the untreated areas of your face to move as normal and you will still be able to laugh, smile and frown, but with less wrinkling of the skin in the areas treated. After a while, most patients will notice that the lines and wrinkles around their treated areas will continue to become less deep and pronounced. This is a result of the Botox® as the new skin has a chance to grow without being repeatedly creased. Hence, it appears to be smoother on the surface because it has not been creased by constant muscle activity. Botox® can be used to treat all wrinkles which are the result of normal facial movement. It is not suitable for permanent wrinkles caused by excessive exposure to the sun. Nonetheless, Botox® can be combined with fillers to even out all of these wrinkles. While Botox® is normally used and approved for wrinkles above the eyes, advanced injection techniques performed at Parkway Medical are available for areas in the lower third of the face and neck. Peace of Mind Rest assured that the Botox treatments you receive at Parkway Medical are properly prepared and never diluted, providing you with the optimum results you have come to expect. Dr. Martin Blume and Dr. Jennifer McMahon will personally spend as much time as necessary with you and will continue to provide exceptional attention to detail, leaving you with a natural and beautiful look.
