As a board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Keith Berman offers aesthetic treatment for both the face and body. Dr. Keith Berman offers a variety of facial filler techniques, including Botox, as well as surgical procedures, such as facelifts. As people age, they often begin to feel dissatisfied with their appearances and the fine lines, wrinkles, and contour changes that occur. To minimize these effects, many people turn to injectable fillers known as Botox. Designed to target fine lines and wrinkles, Botox is an injectable neurotoxin that locks nerve signaling to the facial muscles. This prevents the muscles from contracting and minimizes the movement of the skin associated with wrinkle development. When this process is interrupted, the patient experiences a reduction in crow's feet, frown lines, and other such wrinkles. Botox treatments typically take effect within a few days and can last up to four months. Afterward, as the toxin begins to lose its effectiveness on the facial muscles, the wrinkles will return. However, because the procedure is significantly less invasive than surgical intervention, the treatment typically only takes 15 minutes and the patient can return to normal activity right away.
