Crow’s feet can be regarded as signs of a life well-lived. Every time you laugh, smile, or squint on a sunny day at one of our lovely area beaches, you contribute to the formation of creases that extend outward from the eyes. Unfortunately, these “laugh lines” can also detract from our appearance, making us appear older than our years or less vibrant and more tired than we feel. The good news is that there is a time-tested way to combat even severe crow’s feet and other signs of aging: BOTOX^® Cosmetic. 

BOTOX^® at Perfect Skin MD in Juno Beach, Florida

Dr. Susan Schroeder is a board-certified dermatologist and dermatologic surgeon. She applies her considerable training, skill, and experience to personally administer BOTOX^® and other types of injectable treatments.  

BOTOX^® is among a category of injectable, non-surgical cosmetic treatments. Like XEOMIN^®, it is a neuromodulator. This means that when Dr. Schroeder administers the precise amount of BOTOX^® to just the right sites, the neural signals that tell the underlying muscles to contract are interrupted. A muscle that cannot contract cannot make an expression line! 

Other indicated uses of BOTOX^® include:  

• To soften existing moderate and severe crow’s feet around the eyes. 
• To widen the aperture of the eyes (make your eyes appear larger).
• To improve the appearance of moderate to severe vertical “frown lines” between the eyebrows.
• To eliminate or smooth moderate to deep horizontal wrinkles on the forehead.
• To reduce surface irregularities in the skin.
• To lift eyebrows (or equilibrate them). 
• To soften the platysmal bands in the neck.
• To give the lips a subtle pout.
• To lessen a gummy smile.
• To thin the lower cheeks on a face.
• To make a face more symmetrical.

One of the most attractive aspects of injectables, like BOTOX^® Cosmetic, is that they are not invasive. Non-invasive procedures are generally well-tolerated by most patients and associated with a comfortable process and minimal risks. Since there is nothing to recover from, individuals who undergo BOTOX^® injections can return to their regular activities – no downtime! 

Each BOTOX^® session is a true “lunchtime” procedure that fits easily with your busy schedule and active lifestyle. Results may be noticeable within 5-7 days, with optimal results (for moderate to severe frown lines) revealing themselves within 14 days. 

While BOTOX^® is a temporary treatment, results can last up to four months. Side effects are primarily limited to injection site swelling and discomfort. These undesirables are usually minor and subside quickly. Upon consultation, Dr. Schroeder can discuss ways to keep the stunning results from BOTOX^®. She may suggest a maintenance schedule that works best for you and is based on your individual results and goals for treatment.

Often imitated, never duplicated 

BOTOX^® Cosmetic was approved by the FDA way back in 2002. When BOTOX® debuted, it was the first cosmetic treatment of its kind to improve the appearance of frown lines. Since that time, additional products have entered the market. You have peace of mind when administered by a qualified and well-trained expert in facial anatomy and BOTOX^® treatment like Dr. Schroeder. Your results will look natural throughout the process as improvements arise, evolve, and finally fade away. You look like you, only with less noticeable wrinkles, and not like you have had “work done.” Due to her skill at precisely injecting BOTOX^®, the effects from treatment are limited to the muscles responsible for your expression lines. Your face will not look “frozen” because other unaffected muscles support natural and flexible facial movements. 

Additionally, Dr. Schroeder has extensive knowledge of both female and male facial anatomy, a diverse array of skin types, and other factors and unique skin and patient characteristics. Such extensive knowledge and experience facilitate the planning of treatments that render the most natural-looking results and do so comfortably, safely, and quickly.

In consultation with you, she may even recommend optimizing the results from BOTOX^® Cosmetic with other non-surgical cosmetic products or therapies or with surgical procedures (as needed or desired).
