LASIK Eye Center of Silicon Valley - Dr. Gary Kawesch

Now that you have those fine lines on your forehead, between your eyebrows and around your eyes, minimizing or eliminating those wrinkles, takes top priority. Oh, you could have a facelift, but it might be a bit early for such drastic measures. If you are like millions of women worldwide, you will attack an age-old problem with a temporary, less invasive solution - BOTOX®. When you have fine lines around your eyes, an eye surgeon, like Dr. Gary Kawesch of the Laser Eye Center of Silicon Valley is your best option for cosmetic enhancement.

How does BOTOX® work?

BOTOX® restricts the action of facial muscles that form the wrinkles and fine lines. This restriction allows the muscle to relax and produce a more youthful appearance on the face. The BOTOX® Cosmetic injection is placed into the muscle and causes only minimal discomfort for several months of younger looking skin.

How long does BOTOX® last?

Typically, BOTOX® injections will last three to six months; the average is around four months. However, many factors are involved when determining the length of time before wrinkles will reappear. Some of those factors include:

• Age
• Body type
• Health
• Weight
• Type of treatment
• Treatment location

Deeper wrinkles cause BOTOX® injections to wear off faster than shallow ones. However, if you receive repeat treatments, the effects can last longer.
