Considering Botox® in Seattle. Facial Plastic Surgeon Dr. Portuese can help. Many people are bothered by the appearance of horizontal lines over the forehead, vertical lines between the eyebrows (frown lines), and crows feet around the eyes. For those who would like to improve or "erase" these lines "without" surgery there is an effective alternative treatment known as Botox®. When injected into the muscles causing these lines and wrinkles to soften. Botox® works by blocking the impulses from the nerve to the facial muscles - the muscles are then relaxed. The relaxed muscles then cause the skin to flatten and the result is a smooth unwrinkled look. Botox® therapy is very safe. The amounts injected for cosmetic use are so small that no ill effects are seen elsewhere. The benefit of this treatment is temporary, lasting 3-6 months, depending on the individual. If a permanent solution is desired, please ask for further information on available options. Call Dr. Portuese at (206) 624-6200 for more information about Botox in Seattle today.
