Botox: The Gold Standard for Smoothing Wrinkles

Botox is one of the most well-known and widely used cosmetic injectables for reducing the appearance of dynamic wrinkles. It effectively smooths out fine lines and wrinkles on the forehead, furrows between the brows, and crow’s feet around the eyes by temporarily relaxing the underlying muscles responsible for creating them. With minimal downtime and lasting results, Botox remains a popular choice for those seeking non-surgical facial rejuvenation.
Dr. Barad has given thousands of Botox® Cosmetic treatments and is known throughout the Pittsburgh area for her ability to achieve natural-looking results. She is also recognized by Allergan (Botox® Cosmetic manufacturer) as an accomplished injector and has been a regional trainer for the company. In fact, she has trained over 100 physicians on how to inject Botox® Cosmetic.

What Is Botox?

Wrinkles and lines in the forehead area and around the eyes are some of the first visible signs of aging. Botox® Cosmetic is a simple, non-surgical, physician-administered treatment for treating these areas by injecting the solution into precise points in the facial muscles and preventing the nerve action that causes those muscles to contract. Botox is a neuromodulator derived from botulinum toxin type A, a protein that temporarily blocks nerve signals to muscles. It is FDA-approved and is used to treat dynamic wrinkles, such as forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines between the eyebrows. By relaxing the muscles, Botox smooths out the overlying skin, creating a more youthful and refreshed appearance. Botox treatments are quick and require no downtime, making it an ideal solution for individuals seeking to reduce wrinkles without undergoing surgery. Results typically last between three to four months, after which a maintenance treatment may be required to sustain the effects.

How Does Botox Work?

Botox works by temporarily inhibiting the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter responsible for muscle contractions. When injected into specific muscles, Botox prevents these muscles from contracting, which reduces the formation of wrinkles and fine lines caused by repetitive facial movements. The treatment involves a series of small injections administered to targeted areas, such as the forehead, around the eyes, and between the brows. The procedure is relatively quick, usually taking about 15-30 minutes. Results are apparent within days and last up to four months. Botox can be used to prevent new wrinkles from forming and also to erase or soften ones that already exist.

Natural Looking Results and Happy Patients

With the increase in Botox® Cosmetic’s popularity, there has also been an increase in the number and quality of those providing the treatment. As a board-certified ophthalmologist and oculoplastic surgeon, Dr. Barad has used Botox for more than 20 years. (Botox was first approved by the FDA in 1989 for the treatment of eye problems). Thus, she has considerably more experience with the substance than many other providers.
When Botox was approved for cosmetic usage in 2002, Dr. Barad was immediately able to apply her expertise to aesthetic purposes. Dr. Barad’s combination of excellent skills, experience, understanding of facial anatomy and artistic ability have proven successful over and over again in treating patients with Botox, leaving patients thrilled with natural-looking results.

Prevent Lines From Forming. Erase or Visibly Soften Existing Lines

If you have already developed frown lines and crow’s feet, Botox® Cosmetic can go to work erasing or visibly softening existing lines. You’ll have a smoother, more youthful appearance. If you have not yet developed these tell-tale lines, Botox® Cosmetic can be used to prevent their formation, helping you keep your youthful appearance.
