Millions of men and women nationwide have realized the long-lasting benefits of being treated with BOTOX Cosmetic (Botulinum Toxin Type A) and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma residents are no exception.  For the seventh year in a row, BOTOX injections have ranked as the number one non-surgical procedure in the U.S. according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS).  Dr. Tim R. Love, M.D., Oklahoma City based plastic and cosmetic surgeon, offers BOTOX to his patients who continue to experience tremendous improvement in facial wrinkles after a treatment.

The lines that appear between your brows actually result from muscle movement and the passage of time.  When these powerful muscles between the brows contract, they draw the brows together, causing the skin to fold or furrow. As skin becomes less elastic with age, those folds or furrows result in stubborn, unwanted lines. 

Because frown lines are dynamic lines caused by overactive muscles, they can usually be treated with tiny injections of BOTOX Cosmetic.  

Static lines, on the other hand, are lines that are visible even when the muscles are at rest.  These lines are usually treated with a filler, such as Juvederm injectable gel.  

Dr. Love is an experienced and professional cosmetic and plastic surgeon in Oklahoma City. During a BOTOX treatment in Dr. Love’s practice, very low doses of BOTOX Cosmetic are administered via a few tiny injections directly into the muscles responsible for frown lines between the brows.  By blocking the release of a chemical that causes these muscles to contract, BOTOX enables them to relax.  The effects are very localized and, when administered by an experienced practitioner, do not affect your ability to smile, laugh, or otherwise show expression. BOTOX Cosmetic is the only product of its kind that has been approved for use in the area.

Patients can expect to see results within days after a treatment with the appearance continuing to improve for up to a week. Visible results have been shown to last up to four months.  After that, many patients are ready to return for a follow-up BOTOX treatment at Dr. Love’s Oklahoma City office.  

As with any cosmetic procedure, select your provider carefully. Oklahoma patients are fortunate to have the experienced practice of Dr. Tim Love to provide the full range of injectable fillers, Fraxel II, ReFirme and FotoFacial to patients in need of facial aging improvement. Dr. Love’s Oklahoma City practice assesses the needs of the patient and tailors a treatment plan best suited for them.
