Botox & Fillers in Westlake Village

Wrinkles and lines form when facial expressions are made as the muscle under the skin contracts. Over time, as your skin ages, these repeated expressions cause lasting lines. Neurotoxins are prescription medications that block the release of chemicals that cause these muscle contractions so frown lines are softened.When you make an expression such as a squint or frown, the muscles of the face contract, causing the skin to furrow and fold. Over time, as your skin ages and loses some of its elasticity, these repeated contractions can cause persistent lines. Neurotoxins act on nerve endings in muscles to prevent muscle fibers from contracting. By reducing these contractions, neurotoxins can temporarily reduce the lines on your face.If you are an adult with moderate to severe wrinkles or lines, neurotoxins may be right for you. Dr. Farrell will discuss this with you during your consultation.
