BOTOX/Juvederm

The Eye Clinic of Texas is now offering Botox® and Juvederm®.

As our skin and facial features begin to age, it is common to actually develop two different types of fine lines and wrinkles. Depending on the type of facial wrinkles that you wish to smooth, it is possible that different types of non-surgical treatments may be used either alone or in conjunction with BOTOX® Cosmetic to help you look your best. Wrinkles may be grouped into two types: Dynamic wrinkles, which are formed when muscles contract, or Static wrinkles, which are lines or depressions that exist even when there is no muscle action or pull on the skin. Dynamic wrinkles are best treated with BOTOX® Cosmetic, whereas Static wrinkles are best treated with substances that plump up and fill out the problem lines such as Juvederm®. These substances are known medically as “dermal fillers” or “gel fillers”. Gel fillers are easy to inject and are biodegradable thus, not permanent. Depending on your areas of concern and the type of wrinkle, Dr. Da-Thuy Van, can customize an approach to achieve optimal results. Methods may include using BOTOX® Cosmetic alone or a combination of BOTOX® Cosmetic with Juvederm® creating the desired outcome.
