Botox is a cosmetic procedure that helps you smooth wrinkles and look younger. The effect can last up to 4 months.
A specialist determines which muscles of the face you use most and make tiny injections into them, and this improves moderate and some severe frown lines.
Where do you apply Botox?
Treating crow’s feet

These wrinkles are most common and thanks to Botox that works like neuromodulator prevents the muscles responsible for these wrinkles from contracting. Since the muscles cannot move the area around your eyes remains almost completely smooth.

Reducing the jawline

The muscle that is responsible for chewing also can make your jaw look too big and square-shaped. It is called masseter muscle and with the help of botox, you can minimize the square-like look.

Smoothing the forehead

When we are surprised and upset we raise our brows or furrow them in a frown and get wrinkles on our forehead. And after years they become more and more visible. With the help of botox, you relax the muscles and make your forehead smooth again. You just go through a quick treatment and see the result show within a week and then you do not need a new procedure for another 4-6 months.

Lifting for eyebrows

If you want to lift your eyebrows without any surgical intrusion you can try botox on it. It is more subtle than surgery but it makes you look natural.

Smooth your neck

With age, our neck loses its smoothness, there appear wrinkles and lines that indicate our age. Botox can help you return the young look.

Remove bunny lines

After consulting with your doctor you can find out whether botox can help you get rid of bunny lines on your nose. After that, you can get some injections and get the young look
you missed so much.

Getting rid of chin dimples
 
Mentalis muscle is located on the tip of your chin and it is responsible for the movement of your lower lip, if it is too active, however, it can also cause chin dimples.
Botox can help fix it.

Helping with excessive sweating

If you don’t want to go through surgery but you are suffering from excessive sweating of your armpits, palms, and feet, you can use botox to block the nerve signals that stimulate it. Thus the discomfort is stopped quickly and effectively.

Sculptra® for Facial Volume Loss

Facial volume loss is a common occurrence with age, as fatty tissues beneath the skin deteriorate and become depleted. To help patients address such volume loss, Rasha's Beauty Skin & Laser can use the Sculptra® filler to thicken the skin in target areas, thus easing the appearance of hollowness. This treatment was formulated specifically for the problem of lost facial volume and can provide long-lasting improvements by increasing the skin’s elasticity.
 

How Sculptra® Works

The main ingredient in Sculptra® is PLLA (poly-L-lactic acid). The basis of this ingredient is lactic acid, which is the same chemical created by our muscles after we exercise. However, in Sculptra®, the molecules of lactic acid are linked together in strings.
When injected into the skin, Sculptra® affects the wrinkles and hollowness in two ways. Firstly, it provides some immediate volume under the skin to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. However, the immediate improvement is not as dramatic as would be experienced with a hyaluronic acid filler.
Secondly, the PLLA molecules stimulate the body’s production of collagen over time, which helps increase the skin’s thickness. These medium-term effects are the primary benefits of this filler, as they increase your skin’s resiliency against gravity, repetitive facial movements and loss of volume.
 

How Long Does Sculptra® Last?

Initial injections are applied gradually, in several sessions, over the course of several months.
The longevity of results can be significantly improved with touch-up Sculptra® injections to maintain regular collagen growth.
