Botox Cosmetic

Physicians, like board-certified and fellowship-trained Jordan Wang, MD, MBE, MBA, at Laser & Skin Surgery Center of Pennsylvania in the greater Philadelphia area on the Main Line in Devon, use Botox to reduce the appearance of wrinkles in areas such as between the brows, across the forehead, and around the crow’s feet.

Cosmetic use of Botox is permitted in 95 countries, making it one of the most extensively researched dermatologic treatments available. Botox’s safety and efficacy have been investigated in numerous clinical trials, as well as in more than 400 peer-reviewed articles published in scientific and medical journals. The Research Department at Laser & Skin Surgery Center of New York in Manhattan continues to lead several studies with Botox each year

When your dermatologist injects Botox into a specific muscle, it relaxes the muscle to soften the skin on top of it. This temporary relaxation can last for up to three to four months. While many types of injectors offer Botox, seeking treatment from a board-certified dermatologist is essential for a natural appearance.

The reasons why some individuals look stiff while others appear natural-looking after Botox treatment vary, and we are acutely conscious of these variances when treating our patients in our practice. Our ultimate goal when performing Botox treatment is to help our patients appear more youthful and relaxed. Your ability to express yourself normally or be your true self should not be compromised.

The majority of patients describe Botox injections as feeling akin to a slight pinch, so the treatment shouldn’t feel overly painful. However, your dermatologist can apply a topical numbing anesthetic to your skin prior to treatment if you are concerned about discomfort.

At Laser & Skin Surgery Center of Pennsylvania, our board-certified dermatologists also use Botox for the Nefertiti Neck Lift. This procedure entails administering injections at exact areas along the platysma muscles and along the jawline in order to relax the muscles and provide a smoother, more youthful neck and jawline.

Botox is an excellent treatment for men. The treatment has been extensively examined in male patients. In fact, we see a significant number of male Botox patients at Laser & Skin Surgery Center of Pennsylvania. Approximately 1 million cosmetic treatments were performed on men in the United States in 2014, according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. Between 1997 and 2014, the number of cosmetic treatments performed on men climbed by 273 percent.

When it comes to treating men as opposed to women, there are several distinctions in approach that our specialized dermatologists take into consideration during every treatment. Our goal with each of our patients is to provide them with subtle enhancements that appear natural.
