Dr. Stern has extensive experience in Botox® treatments, and
is one of the top Botox® injectors in Washington State. Dr.
Stern is an Instructor of the Botox® Cosmetic National
Education Faculty.
Botox® has been used for many years in the treatment
of eyelid and facial spasms. Most recently, Botox® has been
shown to be effective in reducing or eliminating forehead lines,
frown lines,
crows feet around the eyes, lipstick lines, and wrinkles and webbing
of the neck. Botox® can also be used in many patients to create
a "brow lift" effect without surgery.
In addition, Botox® has
been shown to effectively reduce excessive sweating, an uncomfortable
condition known as hyperhydrosis. Recent
studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of Botox® in reducing
the frequency of migraine and tension headaches in some individuals.
While not a cure for these types of headaches, Botox® seems
to be a useful form of treatment for these often debilitating conditions.
Dr.
Stern finds that Botox® is more likely to have a long lasting
effect when a series of injections are given over a course of approximately
12 to 18 months. In many cases, Botox™ may enhance the rejuvenating
effects of laser resurfacing. For the ultimate wrinkle reduction
effect, Botox® may be injected along with Collagen, Cosmoplast®,
Restylane® or other fillers. |
