Botox® for Aging
Skin
|
Dr. McCauliffe
pioneered the use of Botox at the University of North Carolina in the
1990’s. He has lectured on the
medical and cosmetic use of Botox and has taught numerous physicians on
how to safely and effectively use Botox for treating aging skin lines and
hyperhidrosis.
Botox® is a protein that
blocks a nerve’s ability to cause muscle contraction.
It can be used to dramatically improve
crow’s feet and forehead frown lines.
Several small injections are made into the muscles of those
areas. This procedure only takes
a few minutes and causes minimal discomfort. It is a very inconspicuous procedure with very conspicuous
results. The following before and
after pictures were taken of patients treated by Dr. McCauliffe.
|
Crow’s Feet
|
This patient had three small injections
into the crow’s feet area. The
after picture was taken one week following treatment.
|
Frown Lines
|
This patient
had several small injections into the scowl area (circle) and forehead frown
lines (arrows). The after picture
was taken one week following treatment.
The patient was trying to frown as much as possible in both
pictures. Note the improvement in
the scowl lines and the forehead frown lines.
|
Neck Cords
|
Note the improvement
in the appearance of this patient’s neck after only one treatment. The ridged neck cords have flattened
producing a much smoother appearance.

BotoxÒ treatment is an inconspicuous
procedure
with very conspicuous results
|
Only a few injections are
needed to treat each wrinkled area.
These injections take only a few minutes. Patients tolerate this procedure well
with minimal discomfort. After
treatment you can immediately return to your daily activities, usually
with no visual evidence that the procedure was performed. The initial Botox® injections start
taking effect within 2 to 7 days, last several months, and gradually wear
off. Subsequent injections have
longer lasting effects.
|
Hyperhidrosis
(excessive
perspiration)
|
For underarm
perspiration only a few injections are needed for each area. This is a rather painless and quick
procedure. For treating heavy
perspiration of the hands, multiple very small injections are needed for
best results. Topical anesthetic
cream and two injections numb the hand to minimize the discomfort. The initial injections start taking
effect within 2 to 7 days, last several months, and gradually wear off. Subsequent injections have longer
lasting effects.
|
The picture was taken two weeks after treatment of the left
underarm only.
