BOTOX®

A BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment is a simple, nonsurgical procedure that smooths the deep, persistent lines between your brows that develop over time.  One 30-minute treatment—a few tiny injections—relaxes the muscles that cause those lines to form and keeps them relaxed up to four months.  So you can frown, smile, or look surprised—without the furrows, creases, and wrinkles.

Used by over 3 million people annually, this is the most popular non-surgical treatment to reduce wrinkles.  This benefit comes from the drug's ability to selectively and precisely relax the muscle which causes the wrinkle to occur.  Wrinkles that form with the movement of facial muscles and disappear when the face is at rest are called dynamic wrinkles.  These wrinkles are effectively resolved with BOTOX® therapy.  Wrinkles that persist when the face is at rest, or static wrinkles, will also often dramatically improve, or even disappear in time.  These will sometimes need other adjunctive treatment, though, for optimal results.

BOTOX® Cosmetic has been widely tested.  Now it's approved by the FDA.  The results are dramatic and apparent within days.  For many, BOTOX® Cosmetic virtually "erases" these lines.  Unlike surgery, BOTOX® Cosmetic is fast, simple, and minimally invasive, with no downtime or recovery.  Most people return directly to work or normal activity following treatment.  Within days, they report looking more natural and relaxed.  With BOTOX® Cosmetic, your friends will know you've done something, they just won't know what.

Hyperhidrosis Treatment

Hyperhidrosis or excessive sweating can be an upsetting social problem and can prevent you from your normal activities and restrict your freedom. It can be embarrassing, upsetting, and inconvenient and can have professional consequences for those who experience this. If you suffer from this condition, you are not alone. The cause is often unknown although it may be associated with genetics, some medical conditions or medications.

At Avanti Skin Center of Denver we carefully review your expectations and goals during your hyperhidrosis consultation, and we discuss available treatments, while considering limitations, side effects and complications.

Particularly with Botox treatments in the axilla (underarm) we ensure that we target the most active glands with our starch-iodine prep. Many of our patients have met with great success in reaching their goals to control perspiration.
