Botox
We, at the Texas Institute of Dermatology, are committed to provide excellence in Cosmetic Dermatology. You will be seen and injected by Dr. Ghohestani, our internationally-renowned Dermatologist. Dr. Ghohestani is a fully trained Dermatologist with a Master’s in Cosmetics and a Ph.D. in Skin Immunobiology from France. He has extensively published in peer medical journals and served as an editor of the European Journal of Dermatology.
Dr. Ghohestani will listen to you and ask you about your expectations. Dr. Ghohestani will then carefully analyze your hyperactive facial lines and provide you a stepwise approach for your face. Sometimes, you may not need Botox, but a Laser, or a Filler! He also discusses with you about the preventive measures as how to keep your face beautiful.
Most of Dr. Ghohestani’s patients are happy with his unique approach in maintaining a natural look while looking younger. Don’t forget to bring him some of your headshots when you were 5, 10 and 20 years younger.
We always use the FDA- approved Botox made by Allergan. We never use imported Botox due to the potential for quality concern. Our priority is an effective & safe treatment for every patient. You need to ask every provider about the source of Botox. In the United States, BOTOX is manufactured by Allergan Inc. for both therapeutic and cosmetic use. Yet there are many other versions of the product being manufactured all over the world. For example, Dysport, a therapeutic formulation of the type A toxin developed and manufactured in Ireland, is licensed for the treatment of focal dystonias and certain cosmetic uses similar to Botox in many territories worldwide including U.S. Additionally, Lanzhou Institute (China) manufactures its own BTX-A product, producing 50U and 100U type A toxin and in 2009 yet another BTX-A product, Neuronox, was introduced by Medy-Tox Inc. (South Korea). Our recommendation is to verify the source of your Botox in order to avoid any complications.

One day you looked in the mirror and studied those lines that furrowed your brow, and you wondered: Where did they come from?
Is it just aging? Too much sun? Too much stress? In general, how skin ages and wrinkles is a complex process. It isn’t just about cellular changes, collagen depletion, hormone loss, damage caused by free radicals, and so on; it’s a combination of many factors.
The Anatomy of the Wrinkle
The lines that appear between your brows (glabellar lines) actually result from muscle movement and the passage of time.You may have heard the expression “wearing your emotions on your leeve,” but in reality you wear them on your face. If you’re angry or annoyed, for example, you knit your brows together. Underneath your skin, your facial muscles contract, cause a pleating of the overlying skin, and then, as anyone can see, you’re frowning.
After years of crinkling and wrinkling, those glabellar lines start to linger longer and can become more pronounced. For women, whose faces tend to be more animated than men’s, and whose skin is typically more delicate, these lines may appear exaggerated and more permanent.
Fortunately, there is a way to temporarily reduce moderate to severe glabellar lines. Treatment with BOTOX® Cosmetic can visibly smooth and soften moderate to severe frown lines between your brows. An improvement can be seen within days and may last up to 4 months, although results may vary. In clinical trials, nearly 90% of men and women surveyed rated the improvement in the appearance of frown lines between their brows as moderate to better 1 month after treatment.BOTOX® Cosmetic is a simple, nonsurgical, physician-administered treatment that can temporarily smooth moderate to severe frown lines between the brows in people.
One 10-minute treatment—a few tiny injections—and within days there’s a noticeable improvement in moderate to severe frown lines between the brows, which can last up to 4 months. Results may vary.
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a purified protein produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacterium, which reduces the activity of the muscles that cause those frown lines between the brows to form over time.
In 2005, almost 3.3 million procedures were performed with FDA-approved BOTOX® Cosmetic.
It’s all about freedom of expression. . .
Before you try and schedule your first BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment consultation, you probably have some questions, such as: How long will it take? How long will the results last? Will it hurt? Will I still be able to make facial expressions?
Here’s what you might expect at our office from the moment you arrive until your procedure is done. (Please note that although this experience is typical, the procedure may be different according to your needs and our doctor’s decision.)
The day before appointment. Avoid drinking green tea, fish oil and the Aspirin (after checking with your Doctor) 24 hrs before the procedure. This will help in minimize the bruising risk.
The day of your appointment. Allow time before your appointment for filling out forms and for consulting with the doctor or a member of his or her staff. If it’s your initial visit, you may first meet with Dr. Ghohestani personally or a staff member. Our staff are trained in skin care and skin care procedures and can answer many of your questions.
Dr. Ghohestani will ask you about your expectations for treatment and if you have any allergies or any condition that wouldn’t make you a good candidate for BOTOX® Cosmetic.
Before the procedure. You’ll be seated in a reclining chair, much like you find in a dentist’s office. No anesthesia is required, although the Doctor may choose to numb the area with a cold pack or an anesthetic cream.
The procedure. Dr. Ghohestani will determine where to administer the injections by examining your ability to move certain facial muscles.The entire BOTOX® Cosmetic injection procedure takes approximately 20 minutes.
After the procedure. There’s no recovery time needed. You’re ready to get on with your day! The most common side effects following injection include temporary eyelid droop and nausea. Localized pain, infection, inflammation, tenderness, swelling, redness, and/or bleeding/bruising may be associated with the injection. Patients with certain neuromuscular disorders such as ALS, myasthenia gravis, or Lambert-Eaton syndrome should not be injected.
Seeing results. Within days, you may notice an improvement in the moderate to severe deep lines that can last up to 4-6 months.
Follow-up visit. You will be scheduled for a follow-up appointment within 2 weeks for touch-ups.
