Botox is a new remedy made from refining and diluting the substance (produced by the clostridium botulinum bacteria) responsible for relaxing the muscles. This substance weakens the muscles by suppressing the release of acetylcholine: the neurotransmitter responsible for triggering muscle contractions. Essentially, the botulinum toxins block the signals that would normally tell your muscles to contract. This mechanism laid the foundation for the development of the toxin as a therapeutic tool for facial spasm, blepharospasm and strabismus in the 80¡¯s and wrinkles and hyperhidrosis in the past few years. Most recently, it has been used to correct square jaw line. Botox can safely be used on humans and has been approved by the FDA.
Botox is an effective treatment for individuals with over-developed jaw muscles. You are a good candidate if you can feel hard muscles behind your jaws when you look in the mirror and clench your teeth. We can guarantee 100% that your lower face will become oval. If your jaw bones are square, usually your jaw bones have to be surgically cut, but strong jaw muscles play a role in the square appearance, too. Hence, if you are too scared to have a surgery, Botox may be your option to considerably improve your facial appearance.
The results are usually very satisfying with a single Botox injection and a follow-up injection after 3-6 months will give you semi-permanent effects lasting several years. There is no need to bother with repeated injections.
Most wrinkles on the face are caused by muscles that are repeatedly over-contracted during facial expressions. Botox injected into these muscles blocks acetylcholine which induces muscle constriction and temporarily weakens the facial muscles in the area and relaxes the skin's surface, thereby "removing" the wrinkle. Since Botox removes wrinkles by paralyzing particular muscles associated with specific facial expressions, there are no complications.
Patients usually begin seeing results within 2~3 days, however, to appreciate the full impact of the injections it takes about a week. Generally, patients getting their first Botox treatment will find effectiveness will last approximately 4~8 months. A check-up can be scheduled 1 week after procedure if there is no discomfort.
1. We only use FDA approved Botox.
2. Treatment is quick, simple and virtually painless.
3. No one will notice that you had something done.
4. You can wash your face, wear make up and resume all normal activities
    right after treatment
5. Botox wrinkle treatment works on deep facial lines that cannot be eliminated
    with surgery or laser peel.
6. In the case of square jaws, ultrasonic waves are used to measure the
   thickness of muscles, enabling a precise treatment.
You will quickly recover from this procedure, but it is important not to touch the injected sites and to remain vertical for 3-4 hours after the injection. This allows the Botox to be taken up in the treated area and lessens the chance of it moving to other muscles.
Feather lift is a procedure developed by Dr. Salamanidze of Russia utilizing threads to lift sagging underlying tissues.
- Originally pioneered by Dr. Salamanidze in Russia in 1998 after 5 years of research
- Through over 800 cases have proved lifting effect lasting over 3 years
- Recently approved by the FDA, practiced widely in the U.S. and Europe

  • The underlying tissues that keep our skin looking youthful and plumped up begin to break down with age, often leaving laugh lines or facial creases over the areas where this muscle movement occurs. Fillers fill in and plump up creased and sunken areas of the face, naturally restoring a smoother, more youthful-looking appearance. Injectable fillers may be used in conjunction with Botox to maximize wrinkle removal when Botox alone cannot resolve the problem.
  • Restylane, Perlain or Alloderm injected into the skin is eventually metabolized by the body. However, it draws the same amount of moisture as the initial quantity injected so that the plumped up volume stays the same. Restylane and Perlain are not permanent wrinkle removal methods and they are safely absorbed into the body one year after procedure without leaving any residues. Alloderm is similar to Restylane or Perlain, but is used for deeper or larger folds, where stronger hold is needed.
1. You will feel minimal pain during this simple procedure and you will notice the change immediately following treatment.
2. There may be some temporary bruising in the injected site, but you will be able to resume normal activity immediately.
3. Unlike other injectables, fillers do not require a pre-procedure allergy test.
4. If you are unhappy with the results, a repeat treatment can easily refill or remove Restylane or Perlain.
5. A repeat treatment of Alloderm requires the smallest amount to maintain results.
6. You and your surgeon may determine that a single procedure or a combination of fillers is the best choice for your wrinkles.
