Why Does Temporal Hollowing Happen and How Do You Fix It?

Too Much Botox in the Forehead
Why Forehead Botox Isn’t One-Size-Fits-All Unlike some other areas of the face, where pretty much everyone is safe with the same (or roughly the same) Botox dose, an injector really must know his or her stuff when it comes to treating a forehead.

I’m Pregnant, can I have Botox?

Botox Brow Lift
As we age, most of us experience a heavy droopiness in the brow area and eyelids. It may appear as if the eyebrows are lower on the face. The upper eyelids become heavier and more hooded, and a sleepy or tired look is looking back at you in the mirror. In many cases, a surgical […]
