Botox Cosmetic
Plastic surgeons use some pretty amazing treatments to enhance the appearance of the human body. BOTOX® Cosmetic is no exception. This safe, simple procedure smoothes wrinkles around the eyes and forehead with natural-looking results.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION: Our practice does not offer Botox injections or dermal fillers at the moment due to Covid 19 restrictions. We will inform you once these services are available to our patients again. Thank for your understanding.
BOTOX® Cosmetic has a one-of-a-kind formulation and only BOTOX® Cosmetic is FDA-approved to temporarily make moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines look better in adults.
We offer BOTOX treatments to patients who want to look and feel younger.
How It Works
BOTOX Cosmetic treatments involve the injection of onabotulinumtoxinA into the muscle under the skin. This procedure is safe and gentle, and the result is quite remarkable.
Once injected into subdermal muscle (muscle under the skin), BOTOX Cosmetic paralyzes the muscle, releasing the overlying skin.
What does that mean for you? Wrinkles and other contour defects in the skin will be released from the underlying muscle and disappear. This paralysis is not permanent, and the muscles recover after about 3 to 6 months.
Benefits of BOTOX Treatments
We use BOTOX Cosmetic to treat lines and wrinkles caused by the contractions of facial muscles, including:
- Crow’s feet at the corners of the eyes
- Frown lines between the brows
- Horizontal lines on the forehead
A slightly different formulation of BOTOX is also used worldwide for a number of medical concerns, including eye spasms, excessive sweating, and migraine headaches, among other things.

A plastic surgeon is a doctor who has undergone eight years of post-graduate training in surgery the last four of these specifically in plastic surgery and who has passed an exam to complete his/her qualification.
A cosmetic surgeon has only done a basic medical degree and has not done any postgraduate surgical training or sat any exam to assess surgical competence and is not recognized by the government regulatory bodies as a specialist in surgery.
Only Dr. Rafael Camberos has the training to fully assess the problem and discuss all the options for treatment of it.
Dr.Camberos will also give the patient a much better perspective of the likelihood of any specific complications in their case as determined by an assessment of their age, skin type, weight, body build, medical health, and smoking history.
