(HealthNewsDigest.com) – Marina Plastic Surgery is now offering FDA approved Xeomin, an additive-free Botox® alternative that makes faces smoother, wrinkle free and more aesthetically pleasing, with the added benefit that patients will not become resistant to it as they sometimes do with Botox.
Grant Stevens, M.D., founder of Marina Plastic Surgery (http://www.marinaplasticsurgery.com), Marina del Rey, CA, says, “This is a great addition to our facial rejuvenation arsenal because over time some people become resistant to Botox and its loses effectiveness due to its additives. While Botox is a great product, Xeomin costs much less, and according to the studies may last longer, a bonus for the right patient.” He added that Xeomin, like Botox, also is a proven treatment for crow’s feet, smoker’s lines, neck bands and hyperhidrosis or excessive perspiration under the arms, on the feet and hands or elsewhere.
“For people with well-defined wrinkles or creases who want a ‘nonsurgical face lift,’ we offer a wide range of injectable fillers like Xeomin,” said Dr. Stevens. “The fillers available today are light-years beyond collagen and other fillers from several decades ago. Treatment is easier, the results can be better tailored, and the span between follow-up treatments is extended. While the science has not yet evolved enough to make surgical facelifts obsolete, our patients can achieve a more youthful and refreshed appearance in just one short office visit. Xeomin is a great addition.”
Injectable fillers can rejuvenate multiple problem areas like smile lines, vertical lip lines and facial hollows. They can be used instead of – or in addition to – facial surgery procedures.
“A nonsurgical procedure like Xeomin isn’t going to be right for everyone,” adds Dr. Stevens. “In some cases, only a surgical procedure will be able to provide the degree of tightening and lifting that a patient will need in order to achieve the results they really want. But even in these cases, it’s increasingly common to combine a plastic surgery procedure with injectables for that added
