Botox® Cosmetic and Dysport™ are both FDA approved in the US and have enjoyed a meteoric rise in popularity. Today they are the most sought-after non-surgical procedure for facial rejuvenation. We use them to remove wrinkles above the eyebrows, around the eyes, below the mouth and near the chin.

But it does more than take away wrinkles. By relaxing facial muscles, Botox® Cosmetic and Dysport™ clears away that tense, tight, hardened look that detracts from the face's natural beauty. The result is a smoother, clearer, more youthful face.

After all, facial aging isn't just about gravity and thinning facial skin. Stress and tension are just as harmful. My patients who get Botox® Cosmetic and Dysport™ around the eyes and forehead often tell me how utterly amazed they are by the results. They were expecting nothing more than relief from crow's feet or worry lines. What they got was both more subtle and more encompassing.

Restoring Balance to the Features
They got their facial balance back! Relaxing their frown lines widened the eyes and forehead area, making their noses appear smaller and re-proportioning the upper and lower face. When it comes to beauty, proportion is everything. Change the proportions of upper, middle and lower face and you can resolve many of the issues that result in what our culture calls "fading beauty."

A Minor Procedure
The injections only take about 15 minutes, and you can return to your normal life right away. The results gradually appear over a seven to ten day period. It's like watching your younger face slowly reappear in the mirror.

After a treatment the muscles will stay relaxed for about four to six months. Botox® Cosmetic and Dysport™ must be refreshed regularly. The good news: for as long as you are using Botox® skin creases do not form, because the muscles that cause creases are disabled.

Expressiveness Is Not Compromised
Many patients ask me: "Will I be able to frown, smile and use my face to express my feelings after Botox® Cosmetic and Dysport™ injections?" Yes. I have learned to study each patient's animation before injecting Botox® Cosmetic and Dysport™, and to apply the correct dosage in the correct spots so you still have plenty of expressiveness.

Botox for Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis)
Botox ™ is also an FDA approved treatment for excessive underarm sweating. Excessive sweating in the armpits, palms and soles is actually more common than you would think. It can lead to embarrisng social situations and sometime life altering. Most of the time people will deal with it for many years b/c they are unaware of any treatment. Axillary or underarm sweating usually start  
during the teenage years
while palm and sole begin even earlier. There is finally a good solution Botox in small doses around the areas of concern can dramatically reduce and even eliminate the excessive perspiration. The treatment generally only take a few minutes with no or little downtime. Patients generally see the onset of action within a few days and generally enjoy the benefits for many months.

Come see us at Beatuologie to see if Botox for hyperhidrosis is a good choice for you.
