Botox®, LATISSE™ & More

BOTOX® COSMETIC injection is a revolutionary wrinkle reduction procedure that can reduce or eliminate wrinkles in the upper third of the face, including forehead lines, frown lines between the eyebrows and crow’s feet around the eyes. It is not surgery.

BOTOX® is a protein that weakens and inactivates muscles that wrinkle the skin. Beginning in 1973, it is used to relax overactive eye muscles that cause “crossed eyes” and facial tics. Since then, it has gained popularity to treat a number of muscular diseases and for use as a cosmetic agent. The surgeons at Bagan Strinden Vision have 15 years experience in BOTOX® injections for both medical and cosmetic conditions.

BOTOX® COSMETIC

    • As muscle weakens, the skin overlying the muscle relaxes
  • Is not permanent

LATISSE™

Now, you can grow longer, fuller, darker lashes. It’s not an illusion. It’s your own eyelashes – only better!

  • The first and only FDA-approved treatment for people with inadequate or not enough eyelashes
  • Intended for use on skin of upper eyelid margins at the base of the eyelashes
  • Your eyelashes will experience real measurable growth. As the treatment progresses, you’ll begin to see changes in length, thickness and darkness gradually. After week 16, you’ll see the full effect of LATISSE™ - and so will others.
