No one has been treating Snohomish County, Washington patients with Botox® longer than our own Dr. Ronald A. Krueger of Krueger Aesthetics. Even as new injectable treatment options like Jeuveau® have presented themselves, Dr. Ronald A. Krueger and our team in Mukilteo continue to transform patients’ faces and lives with Botox® just as we have for over 25 years.
Botox® is a type of “neuromodulator” or “neurotoxin.” When injected into precise facial points, the active ingredient in Botox® disrupts the nerve signals that tell your muscles to contract. These muscle contractions are responsible for those pesky “expression lines.” In firm and highly elastic skin, crow’s feet and frown lines are dynamic and only appear when squinting, frowning, worrying, or otherwise making a facial expression. Over time, as the skin loses its structural supports, such as firming collagen and flexible elastin, tissues don’t bounce back after the expression is made. They remain permanent fixtures of the face.
All neuromodulators generally work best to treat lines, wrinkles, and folds in the upper third portion of the face. Another type of injectable treatment, “dermal fillers,” is primarily indicated to treat folds and volume loss in the mid- and lower- parts of the face, for instance, the smile and marionette lines around the nose and mouth. When combined, Botox® and dermal fillers can provide a nonsurgical or “liquid facelift” alternative to more aggressive and invasive surgical procedures.
That said, our team has gotten great results from Botox® for other applications, such as treating the neck or platysmal bands that become more prominent among women of a certain age. Botox® also started as a medical treatment for individuals with conditions such as eye spasms.
All applications generally:
Look effortlessly beautiful, feel more comfortable in your own “skin,” and much more with Botox® and other injectable treatments available at Krueger Aesthetics.
