 Temporarily remove wrinkles and fine lines;
without the dangers and hassles of a full face lift.
Botox®
Frown lines and some wrinkles are caused by the constant action of muscles underneath the skin. In particular, a furrow in the area between our eyebrows may appear and persist because of the repeated, often unconscious action of a muscle called "corrugator". These furrows can produce an angry or frustrated look on our face. Muscles around the eye are responsible for the "crow's feet" wrinkles that appear on the outside aspect of the eyes.
All of these combine to rob your skin of the smooth, youthful look of years past. A major player in the revolution in cosmetic skin care is Botox®. When applied in just right areas, Botox® can relax the muscles underneath your skin and cause it to look like it did when you were younger.
Botox®
Botox® has been used since the 1980s (in larger doses than you will receive) for the treatment of muscle diseases (like muscle spasm) and has been shown to be extremely safe in many published medical studies and articles. It has recently been approved for the temporary reduction of facial wrinkles.
- Quick and easy, can be performed at lunch or anytime.
- No downtime, return to your normal schedule immediately.
- Full affects will be visible in 3-4 days and will last up to 4 months.
- Completely safe and effective.
What to expect
Botox® treatments are quick and almost totally painless. An extremely fine needle is used to inject a very small amount of Botox® into the areas to be treated. After the injections are given, ice is applied locally for several minutes and you are then on your way. It's that easy and the results are absolutely stunning. Our patients love their "new" look and swear by the treatment.
This a much cheaper, non-surgical alternative to facial wrinkle reduction without the safety concerns of anesthetics and the risk of post op complications. Stop by EC Medical Group for your "lunchtime facelift" and enjoy the new you.

Dermal Fillers
Facial wrinkles and creases begin to appear as the underlying collagen and elastin fibers begin to break down and wear out. While this breakdown is part of the natural aging process, it can also be the result of excessive squinting, frowning, smoking and smiling.
If you would like to get rid of your fine wrinkles but aren't ready for surgery, Dermal Fillers might be the answer.
Collagen Replacement Therapies
These therapies have been among the top ten cosmetic procedures performed in the US since they were approved by the FDA in 1981. The most effective collagen replacement therapies are Restylane, Perlane and Juvederm. They are smooth consistency gels made of hyaluronic acid—a naturally occurring substance in your skin that helps to add volume and hydration. They are used to replace the collagen your skin loses over time. The dermal filler is placed just below the skin where you body accepts it as its own.
Facts about Collagen Replacement
- Non Surgical so there is no recovery or "downtime".
- Works best on frown lines, acne scars, cheek depressions, crow's feet and worry lines.
- Can typically be done on your lunch break.
- Can be combined with other procedures such as laser skin resurfacing or peels.
- Depending on the area, treatments last between three and six months.
Dermal Filler Prices
Dermal Fillers are priced by area and number of injections. They are very economical when compared with a face lift or other plastic surgery. Call EC Medical Group for a full price list on these and other procedures.
