The Elites' Medspa - AREN'T YOU DERM PERFECT?
Neuromodulators
Aesthetic Physician Dr. Ludonir Sebastiany, MD performs Botox injections for a wide range of aesthetic and medical needs at his Sarasota and Boca Raton offices. Botox injections are the most commonly performed cosmetic procedure used to reduce or eliminate the appearance of facial wrinkles through minimally invasive injections. Dr. Ludonir Sebastiany's Botox Cosmetic injections are made from botulinum toxin A, a therapeutic muscle-relaxing agent approved by the FDA for several different uses. When injected into the skin, it can block the nerve muscles responsible for the repetitive actions that cause fine lines and wrinkles, smoothing them away for a younger and more refreshed appearance.
Aesthetic Physician Dr. Ludonir Sebastiany, MD uses Botox Cosmetic for wrinkle elimination in areas such as crows feet, between the eyes - glabella (aka the 11's), smoker-lines or lip wrinkles, laugh lines, neck wrinkles (bands), and many others. Dr. Ludonir Sebastiany, MD will also use botox to decrease the contractility of certain facial muscles to “open” specific areas. The best example is using botox injections to open the eyes.
The main 3 areas where botox is most commonly used are the Forehead, Frown Lines, and Crows Feet.
HORIZONTAL FOREHEAD LINES
If you have a forehead and you make expressions, then you have forehead wrinkles. Some of us are blessed with amazing skin and a lack of sun exposure and don’t require a neurotoxin to freeze away our wrinkles, but we need some botox for the rest of us. Forehead wrinkles are most commonly caused by frequent expressions, such as raising our eyebrows with a surprised expression. The best way to tell if you need botox in this area is to stand in front of a mirror, raise your eyebrows, then relax them. Are the lines still there? Once you resume a relaxed expression, the lines should fade without a trace; if yours do not, it’s time to start using botox. As with other areas, botox relaxes the frontalis muscles on your forehead, which minimizes their movement and, thus, the wrinkles they create. Dr. Ludonir Sebastiany, MD is an expert at taming forehead wrinkles. Some individuals prefer very little movement in this area, providing a very smooth appearance, while others like to maintain some level of expression; whichever your preference Dr. Ludonir Sebastiany, MD has the skill to meet your needs. He will discuss your preference in your pre-procedure consultation; as with anything, the concentration can be adjusted, so if you prefer a little less or a little more on the follow-up visits, he can certainly give you what you want.
FROWN LINES | THE 11'S | THE GLABELLA | BETWEEN THE EYEBROWS
Dr. Ludonir Sebastiany, MD can easily treat the worst of frown lines with botox. Patients can enjoy a drastic difference in softening their wrinkles with as little as one simple treatment. The 11's or frown lines result from furrowing your eyebrows (the glabellar and corrugator muscles). The 11's is one of the most common treatment areas for botox injections. Some patients have very deep 11s, requiring a few treatments before the wrinkles are fully lifted. Another factor that worsens the severity of these wrinkles is a patient’s amount of sun damage.
CROW'S FEET | SIDE OF THE EYES
Whether you're in Sarasota or Boca Raton, the sun is always bright, causing frequent squinting. This continued contraction of the muscles around the eyes causes the delicate skin to fold and crease, leaving us with some cute wrinkles. For some of us, these wrinkles are not so pretty and play as a "tell" for our age or excessive sun exposure. A simple botox treatment is the easiest way to get rid of these wrinkles. Within 3 to 7 days, your wrinkles will drastically fade. These results will last for 3-4months. As you continue to get botox treatments, the muscles will become weaker and weaker, requiring less botox or longer intervals between treatments. Even 1 or 2 treatments a year can drastically slow your skin's aging and help prevent needing a facelift.
Other Areas where botox can be used
LATERAL BROW LIFT
Botox can help to lift the lateral brow to give the eye a more open appearance. This can be accomplished in a few different ways, typically in conjunction with forehead lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet. Deepening your overall goals Dr. Ludonir Sebastiany, MD will help figure out the best way to accomplish this for you with or without addressing the other areas.
BUNNY LINES
Botox helps block the muscles that cause the nose to wrinkle up, creating “bunny lines.”
NOSE TIP LIFT
Botox blocks the muscle that pulls down on the nose when you smile, helping to create the appearance of a lifted nose tip.
GUMMY SMILE
Botox helps to prevent the upper lip from rising above the gum line when you smile.
LIP FLIP & SMOKER LINES
Botox helps prevent the top lip from rolling under when you smile. It also helps prevent the lip lines above the lip (smoker lines). This is a popular procedure because it helps show a little more pink of the top lip, making it look a little fuller. The result is very subtle and only last 6-8 weeks.
