As we age, certain aspects of our appearance begin to bother us when we look in the mirror. What we see in the mirror may not reflect what we feel on the inside. The vivaciousness and energy that we carry may not be indicative of the bags under our eyes.

Botox cosmetic and dermal fillers such as Juvederm and Restylane have been around for many years. They each have a specific role to play when dealing with facial rejuvenation. Botox and fillers can often become mixed up in their perceived usage. Many times when a celebrity with large lips is seen on TV, one of the common phrases is that she has too much Botox in her lips. In all likelihood, that celebrity had a dermal filler treatment to enhance her lips.
Botox (Onabotulinumtoxin A) is a substance that blocks localized nerve activity in the muscle. This causes a temporary cessation of muscle movement. This sounds frightening, but when Botox is injected into specific muscles in can produce a variety of fantastic results that will help reduce wrinkles.
Botox can be used for a variety of other medical conditions. Chronic Migraine sufferers will use Botox to help reduce tension headaches. Botox can also be used for individuals suffering from excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis). Onabotulinumtoxin A will temporarily block the secretion of the chemical that is responsible for turning on the body’s sweat gland.
When Botox is injected into very specific muscles in the face, it can reduce the overall wrinkling of certain portions of the face. The area in between the eye brows (glabella) can become furrowed, therefore causing an angry look. The lines on the forehead (frontalis) can become very wrinkly with continuous movement thus causing a face to appear much older than it actually is! Crows feet on the side of the eyes can become wrinkled through years of smiling and laughing and many individuals like that look. For those that do not appreciate that look, Dr. Nakatsui can help.
Dermal fillers such as Juvederm and Restylane are forms of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring sugar found in the body. Properly placing these dermal fillers, Dr. Nakatsui is able to restore the fullness that certain portions of your face once had but lost due to the natural aging process or weight loss.
These fillers can also be used in accentuating the great features that you already have, such as the lips. By placing filler in the lip line to emphasize your lips, you can get a very big impact without having the fish lip look. Dr. Nakatsui’s goal is to make subtle changes to make the areas appear natural as if they have always been that way.
The objective of Dr. Nakatsui and the Nakatsui DermaSurgery Centre is to enhance the great features that you already have. Through the use of Botox or Juvederm, the goal is not to overhaul and completely change your face, but rather take the great features you have and make them shine! If you feel that your looks do not reflect how old you feel, there are treatments that can help.
