Botox
Botox is one of the most popular non-invasive facial rejuvenation treatments in the world. Known as muscle relaxers, it is used to reduce wrinkles in the face that are caused by active muscles. It decreases muscle activity, thereby creating a smoother appearance in the skin. It is used to temporarily reduce wrinkles in the face that are caused by overactive muscles. Thanks to Botox injections, patients can decrease muscle activity, thereby creating a smoother appearance in the skin. When Dr. Azizzadeh delivers Botox, he does so conservatively, using just enough in precise, targeted areas to produce younger looking skin without compromising one’s expression.
Facial Fillers
In the cosmetic world, facial fillers are injectable medications that can be used to fill in fine lines and creases throughout the face. As we age, many factors affect the appearance of our face, such as the sun, gravity and the excessive muscle movement that occurs throughout the face. Because of these forces, collagen beneath the skin is broken down, resulting in gaps that the skin falls into, forming wrinkles. With precise injection techniques, these wrinkles can be smoothed out by replacing the collagen that has been lost.

The laser penetrates the dermis, pushing out damaged skin and allowing the underlying skin to regrow with a healthy, radiant appearance.
