Skin Care
Sunscreen is a very important component of maintaining your skin. Even for patients who come to me interested in botox or facelift, one of the foundations we talk about is preventing further damage to your skin.

Botox for Eyebrow Lift
Eyebrows are aesthetically important to frame the eyes and open up the face. The ideal eyebrow shape includes a gentle arch up laterally. If you draw a vertical line on the outer edge of your pupil (the colored portion of your eyeball), the peak of the arch should be at this line. For some women, eyebrow hairs can be trimmed and plucked to achieve this look. For others, botox injection that targets the muscle which pulls your eyebrow down can be helpful.
