Botox (Botulinum Toxin Type A) & Restylane

Restylane®
Restylane® is an injectable filler that is used to restore the fullness that skin loses
as you grow older. Restylane® is used to fill out and correct wrinkles and creases
that develop around the mouth.

Unlike animal-based cosmetic fillers, Restylane® is made of hyaluronic acid, a
substance that occurs naturally in the body. Hyaluronic acid is completely
biocompatible and will not cause any allergic reactions like other cosmetic fillers.

The unique quality of Restylane® is that the hyaluronic acid used in the injections
uses water from the body to continue to provide age-reducing effects. Because of
this, if you continue to use Restylane®, fewer injections will be needed in the future
to provide you with the same age-reducing results.

Restylane® is not a permanent cosmetic enhancement. The effects of Restylane
reduce the appearance of wrinkles and creases for about six months. After this
time, the Restylane effects will gradually wear off. If you would like a touch-up, just
schedule another appointment with Dr. Thompson.

BOTOX® & Restylane® have been FDA approved since 1989 and 2003,
respectively. Dr. Thompson's use of BOTOX® & Restylane® is extremely safe and
effective. If you are interested in one or both of these cosmetic procedures, contact
Dr. Thompson in O'Fallon, Illinois today. During your initial consultation,
Dr. Thompson will inform you about all aspects of Restylane® and BOTOX®.

O'Fallon, Illinois

Many patients find that BOTOX® or Restylane® injections compliment their new
smiles in a way they never expected. If you are unsatisfied with creases or wrinkles
in your face, Dr. Thompson can provide you with beautiful, minor cosmetic
enhancements in the form of BOTOX® or Restylane®.

BOTOX®
BOTOX® is an age-reducing cosmetic injection that almost everyone has heard
about! BOTOX® Cosmetic is used to correct the creases and wrinkles that develop
in the brow, on the forehead and around the eyes.

BOTOX® works by preventing the muscles in the brow and around the eyes that
cause wrinkles from contracting. If these muscles are unable to contract, the skin
cannot be wrinkled, and the lines that cause you to look older will gradually be
reduced.

BOTOX® is a temporary enhancement. After being injected, the effects of BOTOX®
will gradually wear off in about 3-6 months until they are no longer visible. BOTOX®
can also be re-applied, prolonging the age-reducing effects. Simply schedule
another appointment with Dr. Thompson for this FDA-approved procedure!
