How does Botox help with wrinkles?
Most wrinkles are the result of the skin folding over itself when the facial muscles contract. By injecting Botox into the muscles that cause the wrinkle we can decrease the wrinkle and sometimes get rid of it.
For most patients over 40, however, the lines won’t go away completely, but the improvement is very noticeable.
The best reason to get Botox, which is misunderstood by most patients is that you won’t contract that muscle and look angry to people as you are talking or working on your computer.
Treating the area between the brows usually requires 20-30 Botox units for a woman, every 90 days. That is about $200-300 each time.
Here at Gilbert Perfect Skin, Dr.Lisa Keefe has been injecting Botox for over 11 years, and is the only injector.

Botox simply relaxes the muscles that cause wrinkles. Period.
As we age almost all of us begin to see signs of our skin changing. Fine lines, wrinkles and even deep furrow marks appear on our faces and as our skin slowly loses its elasticity and youthful firmness. Lifestyle factors, such as excessive sun exposure, an unbalanced diet, lack of regular exercise and smoking can also become contributing factors in the change of our appearance. Often our jobs require us to sit in front of the computer for long hours on end, squinting at the screen and using our facial muscles much more than normal. Unfortunately the result of our everyday lifestyle is tired, haggard looking skin that in no way matches how we feel about ourselves on the inside. The aging process and the loss of the skin’s youthfulness is not the only problem that can lead patients to seek Botox treatment. Excessive underarm sweating can be an extremely embarrassing and often unpleasant predicament and many people suffering from this problem feel that their quality of life could be significantly improved if they can address and stop this issue. Thankfully, Botox treatment can be a fairly painless, minimally invasive and cost effective solution for reversing the aging process and to stop unwanted excessive underarm sweating. 
Wrinkles and lines around the eyes, mouth and nose can add years to our appearance. Often as the skin ages it not only loses elasticity but becomes severely dehydrated not only on the surface but in the deeper layers as well. Achieving youthful, firm and smooth skin is a great way of dramatically improving our looks and regaining the skin’s natural glow. Juvederm, a wrinkle-filler that is largely based on hyaluronic acid, can help with wrinkles and lines while offering a non-surgical solution to aging skin.
