Why do we Develop Wrinkles and How do Wrinkle Injections like Botox & Dysport Stop Wrinkles?

Over time, the movement of our facial muscles and the effects of the aging process cause wrinkles to form and deepen.  Anti-wrinkle injections block the signals from nerves to particular muscles, resulting in less movement, less formation, and the reduction or smoothing out of existing wrinkles. Botox, Xeomin, and Dysport are types of neuromodulators used to treat wrinkles. They are a minimally invasive, convenient, and effective way to refresh your look and enjoy natural-younger-looking results.

We invite patients seeking a botox provider from an experienced medical spa in Lebanon, TN to schedule a consultation with LeAnn to discuss anti-wrinkle injections and other wrinkle treatment options such as microneedling, medical-grade facials, and fillers. LeAnn is committed to remaining at the forefront of aesthetic innovations, safety standards, and products.
 

Understanding Dynamic vs Static Wrinkle Treatments. Should you get Tox or Filler?

Do your wrinkles need Tox or Filler?

Wrinkle treatments can be confusing, but here's a simple breakdown:

What Are Dynamic Wrinkles and Lines

  • Dynamic Wrinkles appear: when you make a specific movement or expression. From sipping straws to squinting in the sun, our expressions tell stories - even ones we'd rather erase, like frown lines and crow's feet.

Examples of Dynamic Lines

  • Frown Lines between the eyebrows (also known as “elevens“)

  • Forehead wrinkles

  • Crow’s feet at the corners of your eyes

  • Smile lines in the mid-cheek

  • Lip lines

What is the Best Treatment for Dynamic Facial  Wrinkles and Lines?

Worried about dynamic wrinkles telling your age before you do? You're not alone! These wrinkles, caused by muscle movement, can be tackled with neuromodulators like BOTOX,Xeomin, or Dysport. These temporary muscle relaxers smooth out wrinkles, giving you back a refreshed and youthful appearance. Schedule a consultation today to find the perfect solution for your unique needs!

What are Static  Wrinkles and Examples

Ever notice those persistent lines that linger even when you're relaxed?

Those are static wrinkles, the unwelcome guests on your face.

Unlike their dynamic cousins that fade with a relaxed expression, these lines stay put.

 

The culprit? Collagen and elasticity loss, leaving your skin less bouncy and prone to wrinkles. But it's not just time that's to blame - smoking, sun exposure, and even what you eat can contribute. Think of your face as a house, and your skin the roof. When the foundation (volume loss) weakens, the roof (skin) starts to sag and develop those telltale creases.

Examples of Static Lines

  • Nasolabial folds (deep lines that begin at the nose and end at the corners of the mouth)

  • Marionette lines (deep lines from the edges of your mouth down to your jawline)

  • Tear trough lines under the inside corner of your eye

  • Lateral cheek lines (lines on your cheek that occur behind “smile lines”)

  • Lines across the neck

Best Treatment for Static Fac Wrinkles and Lines

  • While wrinkle relaxers like Botox may help soften stubborn wrinkles, they're not always effective depending on how deep the static lines are. In many cases, injectable FILLERS are the hero, restoring lost volume and smoothing out those unwanted creases for a more natural, youthful appearance. Some fillers we offer can also rebuild lost collagen and elastin. Remember, deeper wrinkles might require higher doses of tox or filler may be a better choice, so a consultation with an LeAnn is key!

  • Deep, persistent static wrinkles can be tough to tackle, but fear not!

  • Injectable fillers are like tiny pillows that plump up lost volume, smoothing out those pesky lines and folds. Think of them as instant erasers, lifting the skin and giving you a more defined, youthful look. Plus, they offer immediate results!

  • Chemical peels can be your secret weapon against stubborn static lines.

    • Here's how:  Different peels offer different depths and intensities, catering to your unique needs. Lighter peels buff away dead skin, revealing fresh, brighter skin. Think of them as a refresh button for your complexion! Want to tackle sun damage and boost collagen? Deeper peels go further, erasing unwanted lines and plumping up folds. With a series of peels (spaced a month apart), you can expect: Fewer lines and wrinkles.  A radiancy that is unleashed, banished Dullness, and say hello to a youthful glow!

Seeking a Smoother, Younger Look? Consider Xeomin, Dysport, or Botox for Wrinkle Prevention and Correction.

Neuromodulators are a popular choice to address fine lines and wrinkles, whether they're already visible or just beginning to show.

 

Men and women  are using wrinkle injections to achieve their  goals:

  • Prevent future wrinkles: Starting in your 20s and 30s, BOTOX® can help proactively prevent fine lines before they develop.

  • Reduce existing wrinkles: For those in their 40s, 50s, and 60s, BOTOX® effectively softens the appearance of moderate to severe wrinkles.

But is BOTOX® right for you? During a personalized consultation, we'll discuss your concerns, desired results, and overall health to determine if wrinkle relaxers are your best option. We'll also address any questions and ensure you feel comfortable and informed throughout the process.

Worried about looking frozen after Botox?

It's important to remember that each individual has unique wrinkles, muscular structures, and facial expressions. Therefore, it is best to avoid a "one size fits all” approach when it comes to injecting Botox. A knowledgeable injector will understand this and be able to design personalized treatments to meet your specific needs. They will tailor the Botox injections accordingly to help you reach your desired result, rather it be a “frozen” look or a more natural look.

"When it comes to wrinkle relaxers, we prioritize Xeomin and Dysport due to their proven effectiveness in smoothing lines and wrinkles, offering patients natural-looking and long-lasting results."

Our wrinkle treatments with neuromodulators are exactly what you need to get rid of those stubborn facial lines and wrinkles. We use  Xeomin, and Dysport to give you the best possible results. Xeomin, also called “Clean Tox” is the only neurotoxin free of all unnecessary proteins that don't play an active role in treatment.  We offer other treatment options for wrinkles and fine lines such as medical grade facials, PRP with microneedling, and dermal fillers.

 

What are the common treatment areas and conditions for botox injections?

Botox Injections are a Class of Medications known as Neuromodulators. They are a Proven Effective Option for the Treatment of Static and Dynamic Wrinkles and More.

Botox injections are commonly used for the treatment of aging signs and wrinkles. The purpose of these injections is to temporarily paralyze the muscles that cause wrinkles, thereby reducing their appearance. By blocking the nerve signals that cause muscle contractions, Botox helps smooth out fine lines and wrinkles on the face. This treatment is particularly effective for dynamic wrinkles, which are caused by repetitive muscle movements, such as frown lines or crow's feet. Botox injections are a non-surgical and minimally invasive option for individuals seeking to rejuvenate their appearance and achieve a more youthful look.

Unsure which tox is right for you? No worries! During a consultation, LeAnn will:

Discuss your concerns and goals.

  • Explain the benefits of both relaxers and fillers.

  • Recommend the perfect solution for your unique needs.

Remember:

  • Relaxers and fillers can be combined: For optimal results, sometimes both are used in different areas for a comprehensive approach.

  • Consultations are key: Get personalized advice to achieve your desired look safely and effectively.

Where did the Injector Receive their Training?

Was it on the job, a weekend class or did they attend more formal training? Did their training not only include the skill of injection, but also an in-depth understanding of the anatomy, physiology, and pharmacology surrounding medical aesthetics?

Consider their level of formal education and what experience they have had before working as an aesthetic injector.

Opting for a trained, experienced, and skilled injector will help ensure that you receive safe, appropriate treatments, and the best possible results and minimize any potential risks. Remember, investing in a reputable provider will benefit you in the long run and leave you satisfied with the outcome of your Botox treatments.

Correct Dosage 

To prevent the frozen look from excessive Botox use, it is important to trust the expertise of the injector. They should be highly qualified to determine the right amount of units needed based on factors like treatment area, facial anatomy, wrinkle severity, and individual factors. 

Less can be more:

With Botox/wrinkle relaxers treatments, it's often better to err on the side of under-treatment rather than over-treatment. Administering touch-ups periodically and starting with a conservative approach for fine lines can be more effective. As the saying goes, "It's very easy to add more, but only time can take it away." When you see a new injector for the first, time they may take this approach.

How long will Botox Last?

Botox treatments are typically advised every three months for best results, but the duration of its effects can vary based on personal factors like metabolism and physical activity. Some individuals may enjoy results for four months or more, while others might notice a decrease in effectiveness after a short amount of time. If you find that your Botox wears off faster than anticipated, discussing alternative options with your provider is recommended.

What are the risks of Botox injections?

Although rare, the risks of Botox Injections Include:

Bleeding

Bruising,

Infection

Eyelid droop.

What to Discuss During any Medspa Consultation?

During your consultation for Botox or other treatments, it's important to discuss key aspects with your provider.

  1. Expect your injector to perform a “good faith exam.” This should include your medical history, surgical history, allergies, and medications at a minimum.

  2. Openly communicate your expectations and desired outcomes. 

  3. It's also important to discuss your budget.

  4. Ask any questions you may have.

  5. Ensure that you have a clear understanding of the potential risks associated with the procedure.

  6. Expect your pictures to be taken from a variety of angles at rest and while making a variety of facial movements.

  7.  Ask your provider to explain what you can expect in the days following the treatment, including any potential side effects or post-treatment care instructions. 

This comprehensive discussion will help you make an informed decision and help ensure a positive Botox experience.

What will I feel like after Botox?

After receiving Botox injections, you may experience slight bumps at the injection sites that go away within an hour or so. As Botox takes effect, some people feel a "heavy" sensation on their forehead. This is because the muscles are relaxing and adjusting to their normal resting position. Botox helps prevent deep wrinkles by reducing muscle activity and retraining them when you're not actively making facial expressions. It's important to remember that the full effects of Botox may take up to 14 days to fully appear.

Will Botox Injections Hurt? 

The injections have been described as tiny stings. A very small needle is used and with LeAnn's experience as a CRNA she is beyond an expert when it comes to injecting anything and injection pain should be minimal to non-existent.

Not Sure What Treatment Your Looking For?

Frequently asked Questions about Anti-Wrinkle Treatments

IS THERE AN IDEAL AGE FOR SOMEONE TO START GETTING ANTI-WRINKLE INJECTIONS? Lines and wrinkles can start to develop as early as your 20s. As the moisture, collagen and elastin within your skin’s structure begin to decrease, your skin becomes more susceptible to developing creases that can prematurely age your face. People with very expressive faces are particularly at risk of developing dynamic lines at an earlier age. There is no ideal age to start anti-wrinkle injections that applies to everyone. We all age at our own pace, based on a combination of genetic, environmental and lifestyle factors. Some people choose to start when they notice their lines are becoming etched into their skin and are visible even without movement. Others prefer to start preventative treatments before this occurs. We typically recommend starting with smaller doses and gradually increasing as needed.

WHAT DOES THE ANTI-WRINKLE INJECTIONS TREATMENT INVOLVE? Anti-wrinkle injections can take as little as 10 minutes to perform, which makes for a convenient lunch-hour treatment. At the start of the procedure, LeAnn will assess your facial movements, as well as your personal concerns, to determine the most suitable areas of treatment. These areas will then be marked, and your skin will be cleansed with an antiseptic solution. LeAnn will mark out injection points in the target muscle that are specific for your unique facial movements. Veins are also marked out using a laser device to reduce the risk of bruising. A fine needle is then used to inject drops of the protein selectively into the facial muscles. The injection causes the muscles to relax, which prevents lines from forming and smoothes out existing wrinkles. LeAnn is committed to ensuring your comfort during the treatment process, so ice and vibration are usually used to minimize discomfort. The procedure is quick and requires virtually no downtime, so you can resume regular activity shortly after your appointment at our Lebanon, TN clinic. While you may experience minor swelling or redness immediately after the procedure, this generally disappears within a few minutes.

WHAT AREAS CAN WE TREAT WITH ANTI-WRINKLE INJECTIONS? When paired with the effects of stress, sun damage and genetics, our skin takes on many signs of tiredness and age, often leading to a worn, fatigued or even angry appearance that does not reflect our true character. Anti-wrinkle injections help to slow the effects of aging and produce a more youthful and refreshed expression. Areas commonly treated include: Frown lines between the eyebrows Forehead lines Crow’s feet at the corners of the eyes Lines around the nose (bunny lines) Upper lip lines (smoker’s lines) Downturned mouth Dimpled chin Neck lines (platysmal bands) Anti-wrinkle injections can also be used to: Elevate the brows, to correct the sunken or heavy brow appearance Reduce a “gummy” smile (excessive show of gum above teeth while smiling), by relaxing the overactive muscles around the lip that cause the upper lip to pull upward when activated Treat excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), by stopping the sympathetic nerves from stimulating the sweat glands and therefore reducing excessive wetness, particularly under the arms Slim the face, by relaxing the muscles that create a ‘bulky’ or ‘square’ facial structure, particularly around the jawline. Manage teeth grinding, by relaxing the primary muscle that causes the ‘bulk’ (the masseter muscle), reducing squareness and releasing tension in the jaw that triggers teeth grinding and jaw clenching Manage migraines by relaxing various facial and neck muscles, reducing tension

HOW DO ANTI-WRINKLE INJECTIONS WORK? Anti-wrinkle injections contain a powerful neurotoxin that inhibits muscular contractions at the site where the nerves and muscles meet. It does this by preventing the release of a chemical that prompts muscle movement. This process results in muscle relaxation, which reduces the appearance of wrinkles and creates a smoother and more refreshed profile. Small amounts of this potent protein are used in anti-wrinkle injections at targeted sites to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Compared to surgical options, this treatment is cost-effective, lower risk and accommodating to those who have busy schedules or simply do not want downtime. Although the results are not permanent, they are long-lasting and can become even longer-lasting with ongoing treatment. At our Lebanon, TN skin clinic, anti-wrinkle injections are more than a nonsurgical solution for unwanted lines. We also use them to elevate the brows, slim the face, treat a gummy smile, and reduce excessive sweating. In other settings, the same active ingredient is used to treat a variety of medical conditions, including neuralgia, migraine headaches and involuntary muscle tightening.

WHAT ARE ANTI-WRINKLE INJECTIONS? There are five brands currently available. They are made of natural purified protein. This protein is not animal-based and is extracted from a natural bacterium. Before it was used for cosmetic treatments, the active ingredient in anti-wrinkle injections was used to treat strabismus, or crossed eyes. Scientists noticed that injecting it around the eye area relaxed the muscles causing the eyes to point in different directions, allowing them to realign. Therapeutic use of this treatment began in 1989. As research continued, the treatment’s cosmetic benefits became apparent. Relaxing muscles could also soften the look of the wrinkles they cause. The product was rebranded and has been a favorite of aesthetic enthusiasts since the early 2000s.

WILL THE RESULT LOOK NATURAL? Achieving beautiful, natural-looking results is one of the most common concerns among patients seeking anti-wrinkle injections here in Lebanon, TN. Consulting a qualified and experienced cosmetic doctor with a strong understanding of facial anatomy is the first crucial step to ensuring your results are naturally convincing and tailored to your unique profile. Let’s use the treatment of forehead lines as an example. Forehead lines are caused by contraction of the frontalis muscle that elevates the eyebrows, forming horizontal lines. There are many individual variations that matter when it comes to customizing the right dosage for you. Each of us contracts this muscle to a different degree, and there is usually asymmetry, where one side is stronger than the other. It is important to assess how strongly you contract the frontalis muscle, in addition to assessing how wide and broad your frontalis muscle is. Another consideration for a natural look is to observe your facial structure at rest, in this instance to identify any heavy upper eyelids or unevenness in brow position. Over-treatment in these situations can cause the lids and brows to drop and feel heavy, resulting in an unnatural expression. A highly trained Advanced Practice Nurse like LeAnn can design a treatment plan that is tailored to your facial profile. While anti-wrinkle injections are offered by various practitioners and are easily accessible, choosing a high-quality provider at a reputable medical clinic will increase your chances of achieving satisfying, radiant and natural-looking results while avoiding the obvious or ‘overdone’ look.

WILL I LOOK WORSE IF I STOP USING ANTI-WRINKLE INJECTIONS? No, this is a myth. Patients who have grown accustomed to their smoother, more youthful appearance sometimes feel they look significantly older when the treatment wears off. This is only because they are used to seeing themselves with the treatment and their natural appearance is now unfamiliar. Anti-wrinkle injections do not accelerate the aging process. If you need to temporarily pause your anti-wrinkle treatments, or decide to stop getting them altogether, your wrinkles will not be worse than when you started. Your skin does not compensate for lost time by creating ‘catch-up wrinkles’. Your normal muscle movements will return and you will look as you did before the treatment, or perhaps even younger than your age.

HOW MUCH DO ANTI-WRINKLE INJECTIONS COST IN LEBANON? Anti-wrinkle injections are priced per unit, therefore the total cost of a treatment depends on how many units are needed to achieve the desired result. Some of the factors that go into the cost include: Number of areas being treated Size of the areas being treated Strength of the muscle being treated Gender (men usually require more units than women) LeAnn must conduct an assessment face-to-face to provide an accurate quote.

WHAT CAN’T I DO AFTER GETTING ANTI-WRINKLE INJECTIONS? After receiving anti-wrinkle injections at Soul to Soul Aesthetics, we usually recommend that you avoid: Rubbing the injected area Applying makeup over the area injected for at least 4 hours Participating in intensive exercise or hanging upside down (e.g. aerial yoga) – which can prolong swelling Applying any pressure to the area treated (for example lying on a massage table or wearing swimming goggles)

HOW DO I CHOOSE THE RIGHT PROVIDER FOR ANTI-WRINKLE INJECTIONS IN LEBANON, TN? As with any cosmetic procedure, the skill and experience of the injector will determine the quality of your results. While the anti-wrinkle injection procedure may not seem complicated, a certain degree of precision and a sound understanding of the facial anatomy is required to ensure the safest and best possible outcome. For these reasons, it is crucial to choose a provider who has demonstrated experience and training in this field. Many types of medical practitioners can administer anti-wrinkle injections regardless of training or experience level. While this makes the procedure more accessible, not everyone who offers this line of treatment has the skill required to provide quality care. Ensuring you get the results you expect means choosing a high-quality provider who has a demonstrated track record in performing cosmetic procedures. LeAnn of Soul to Soul Aesthetics has years’ worth of experience in the field and takes great care to deliver quality results.

WHEN CAN I EXPECT RESULTS FROM ANTI-WRINKLE INJECTIONS? The onset of anti-wrinkle injections is gradual. You can usually notice a difference as early as 3 to 5 days after a treatment, but it may take up to two weeks before you see its optimal effect. The results will also be dependent on the dosage delivered and how your body metabolizes the active ingredient. For instance, men usually require larger doses than women. If you are preparing for an upcoming special occasion, LeAnn advises that you schedule your anti-wrinkle appointment at least two weeks before the event to allow the treatment to show its best results. This also leaves ample time for any post-treatment bruising you may develop to resolve.

HOW LONG DO RESULTS LAST? Depending on the dosage delivered and your natural skin habits, the outcome of your anti-wrinkle injections should last between three to four months. Scheduling your next appointment three months after the first procedure will help maintain your enhanced profile. After you have undergone a series of appointments, you may discover you can wait longer between appointments. When anti-wrinkle treatments are repeated on a regular basis, the muscles are not allowed to recover fully between doses, and the duration of results starts to increase. This process may vary for each patient, so LeAnn can work with you to determine the amount and regularity of appointments required to maintain your desired look.

CAN I DO ANYTHING TO MAKE ANTI-WRINKLE INJECTIONS LAST LONGER? Facial expressivity, muscle strength, skin thickness and ethnicity are among the factors that affect the duration of anti-wrinkle injections. Ensuring you choose a provider who understands these influences and can select an appropriate dose will allow the product to be most effective and maximize its longevity. After treatment, protect your skin from the sun and regularly undergo “maintenance” treatments before your results wear off. Recurrent treatments may train the targeted muscles to respond to the injections for longer periods of time.

CAN ANTI-WRINKLE INJECTIONS BE REVERSED? Unlike dermal fillers, anti-wrinkle injections cannot be dissolved or reversed. Just as the treatment gradually kicks in, its effects gradually fade. Patience is required while this process takes place and normal muscle activity returns. For some concerns, such as awkward facial movement or asymmetry, additional injections can correct the issue and restore harmony to the face. It is important to only trust corrective injections to a reputable provider who understands facial anatomy and how the muscles react to injections.

HOW CAN ANTI-WRINKLE INJECTIONS HELP WITH TMJ DISORDERS? One of the many therapeutic applications of anti-wrinkle injections is treating the symptoms of TMJ. The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a hinging joint that connects the lower jawbone to the skull. It plays a role in a variety of mouth movements, including chewing and speaking. Issues can occur when this complex system of muscles, bones, ligaments and discs stops working together properly. TMJ dysfunction is called temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD), or sometimes simply TMJ. Medical attention is recommended for TMJ disorders if you are experiencing pain in your jaw or elsewhere, you are having difficulty opening and closing your mouth, you are clenching or grinding your teeth, or you are locking your jaw. Administering anti-wrinkle injections into the masseter and temporalis muscles on the sides of the face temporarily relaxes the muscles, helping to reduce the tension and pain associated with TMJ disorders. Anti-wrinkle injections do not address the root cause of TMD, but controlling the symptoms can dramatically improve your comfort while you pursue other treatment options.

AM I A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR ANTI-WRINKLE INJECTIONS? The most suitable candidate for anti-wrinkle injections will meet the following conditions: In good physical health Has moderate to severe facial wrinkles Has wrinkles in treatable areas, such as on the forehead, between the eyes and around the mouth You may not be a candidate for anti-wrinkle injections if you: Are allergic to ingredients in the product Have trouble swallowing or breathing Have a nerve or muscle disorder Have an active infection at the planned treatment site Are breastfeeding or pregnant The best way to determine whether you are a suitable candidate for anti-wrinkle injections is to schedule a consultation with a qualified professional. At Soul to Soul Aesthetics in Lebanon, TN, LeAnn performs all treatments and consultations, where she encourages you to discuss your aesthetic goals as well as any concerns you may have about the procedure. During your appointment, LeAnn will assess your facial structure and primary concerns to determine the best course of treatment. If you are not the right candidate for anti-wrinkle injections, we offer a variety of treatments and can help you find the cosmetic procedure that will produce the aesthetic results you desire.

HOW WILL I LOOK AFTER ANTI-WRINKLE INJECTIONS? Immediately after treatment, you may experience a small amount of redness and swelling. These effects are generally temporary and should resolve within 30 minutes. Bruising may also occur, though this should also subside quickly or with the aid of topical cream. Anti-wrinkle injections are safe, and when performed by an experienced clinical doctor in Lebanon, TN like LeAnn, have a very low complication rate. During your appointment, LeAnn will ensure you are fully aware of what to expect after treatment and how to manage side effects should they occur.

HOW SHOULD I PREPARE FOR ANTI-WRINKLE INJECTIONS? Preparation before an anti-wrinkle injections appointment is simple. We recommend avoiding smoking and large intakes of alcohol for 24 hours as this increases the risk of bruising. Inform LeAnn about any medications or supplements you are taking, as some can have adverse effects if combined with anti-wrinkle injections. You may be asked to temporarily stop taking certain products in the days leading up to and the days following your appointment.

CAN I COMBINE ANTI-WRINKLE INJECTIONS WITH OTHER TREATMENTS? Over time, as the skin continues to lose elasticity, dynamic wrinkles become static wrinkles. Static lines are permanent creases on the face, so they do not disappear with changes in your facial expression. In addition to lost elasticity, the ongoing effects of gravity also work to turn dynamic wrinkles into static wrinkles. Anti-wrinkle injections are the best method for eliminating dynamic lines, while dermal fillers can help to soften static wrinkles. Soul to Soul Aesthetics offers injectable dermal filler treatments that essentially “fill in” the lines and folds caused by static wrinkles. Dermal fillers can help to: Restore volume to the cheeks Reduce chin creases Smooth out lip lines Reduce lines around the nose and mouth If you are wishing to smooth out wrinkles and achieve a more radiant and refreshed look, combining anti-wrinkle injections with dermal fillers can produce transformative results. The treatments can be performed simultaneously, so there is no need to schedule a separate appointment. By pairing the two procedures, you can significantly slow the effects of aging and achieve a more youthful profile.

WHAT ARE THE RISKS? Short-term risks include tenderness and redness over the injected area, with a small chance of bruising. In rare cases, patients may experience a minor headache, nausea or flu-like symptoms after treatment. The likelihood of experiencing any of the above symptoms decreases considerably when you undergo treatment by an experienced injector. While anti-wrinkle injections may be widely accessible and offered by various practitioners, you will achieve the best and safest result by consulting a highly-trained professional with demonstrated experience. At Lebanon, TN-based Soul to Soul Aesthetics, LeAnn has ample training and experience in the art and science of aesthetics. LeAnn is committed to keeping abreast of the latest medical and scientific advances in cosmetic procedures, including best practices and techniques for delivering anti-wrinkle injections.
