If you’re sick of fine lines and wrinkles, consider Botox in the Washington, DC area

Botox in DC: your solution for fine lines

Washington DC BotoxOne of the most popular cosmetic procedures in the United States, Botox can smooth crow’s feet and the appearance of forehead wrinkles, and reduce the lines in the folds between the nose and lips.

What are the benefits of Botox?

  • Restored elasticity of vertical lines between the eyebrows
  • Reduction of lines in the folds between the nose and lips
  • Smoothing of crow’s feet (lines around the corners of the eyes)
  • Reduced appearance of forehead wrinkles

One Washington, DC resident’s experience with Botox

Botox, the cosmetic form of botulinum toxin, is used to help slow down the signs of aging as well as smooth existing skin wrinkles. We spoke with one Bruno | Brown patient about her experience with Botox:

What was your experience like at Bruno | Brown compared to other places?
The med spa put a lot of injections in a few places, when Bruno | Brown used a little in a lot of places. Dr. Bruno kept asking me to move my face to really target the lines. By doing it this way the look is much more natural; you don’t get this weird one eyebrow higher than the other.

I’ve also never gotten a headache from them when at the med spa I would always get a headache.

I got a droopy eyelid at the med spa once, I had to actually change how I do my eyebrow makeup to make them even because the placement changed so much. Bruno | Brown also said I could go back if there was a problem, and I probably would do that if there was an issue. There’s a lot of security in that.

The results were just so natural, everything just smoothed out.

Botox procedure and recovery in DC

Botox treatment usually only takes between 10-15 minutes, and there is no recovery time. You’ll see results that can last between 4-6 months in certain areas. You may have some minor swelling or pain at the injection site, but this subsides almost immediately after the initial injection.

Botox should be administered by a trained and experienced medical professional, such as the doctors at Bruno | Brown Plastic Surgery. Someone with limited experience giving Botox could possibly make the injections too deep, too low, or in the wrong spot. This could cause negative side effects, like droopy eyelids or a “frozen look”.

FaceTite in Washington, DC: One Of 2019’s Biggest Trends In Plastic Surgery

FaceTite in Washington, DC is expected to be a big trend in 2019.

FaceTite is a new revolutionary contouring procedure that tightens and lifts the skin around your face and neck. The procedure is minimally-invasive and gives patients the results of a facelift without the surgery, scarring, or stitches. FaceTite can also be combined with liposuction in the jowls and neck areas to achieve more contouring and a more youthful appearance.

FaceTite on the rise with Washington, DC residentsFacetite DC

Minimally-invasive cosmetic procedures have grown nearly 200 percent since 2000, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Allure Magazine recently named FaceTite one of 2019’s biggest plastic surgery trends:

“Radio frequency technology, like FaceTite, to address neck and jawline sagging and heft is a procedure New York City-based, board-certified plastic surgeon Adam Kolker, anticipates to skyrocket in 2019, especially among men. ‘It’s a real revolution in what we’ve been doing to date,’ he says. Depending on the severity of the patient, it can be done ‘in conjunction with other procedures, like liposuction or microneedling.’”

The doctors at Bruno | Brown Plastic Surgery will work with you to determine which areas to target in order to achieve your desired look. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia so you will experience little to no discomfort.

The FaceTite procedure in DC

 FaceTite has little recovery time compared to a traditional facelift and can be used in numerous areas including the neck, jowls, cheeks, and jawline.

The FaceTite procedure is performed with a small tube (cannula) that is inserted under the skin and passes radiofrequency energy to the external electrode placed on the skin’s surface. The tube heats the tissue causing it to contract and tighten. The procedure also stimulates collagen growth so patients will see immediate results, as well as continued improvement in the skin’s firmness over the next 6 months.

BodyTite DC: A Solution for Unwanted Body Fat

If you’re looking for a way to reduce fat without causing saggy, unwanted skin- BodyTite in Washington, DC may be your answer.

BodyTite is the newest, minimally invasive procedure that shapes, lifts, and tightens your skin without the recovery time of traditional liposuction.

How Does BodyTite Work?

BodyTite is an FDA approved procedure that helps contour your body by targeting problem areas that have not been responsive to diet and exercise. It simultaneously tightens loose skin that may be a result from weight loss, pregnancy, or aging.

BodyTite is powered by radio-frequency aided lipolysis (RFAL) for three-dimensional remodeling and contouring. RFAL melts and removes excess fat through a tiny incision made in an inconspicuous location. Learn more about BodyTite from The American Society of Plastic Surgeons.

BodyTite can be used on the following areas:Bodytite

  • Abdomen
  • Hips
  • Buttocks
  • Thighs
  • Arms
  • Back

The BodyTite Procedure

Our expert plastic surgeons will work with you to determine if BodyTite is the right choice for you in order to meet your specific goals, or if the procedure can be used in conjunction with liposuction to meet your needs. The procedure only takes about one to three hours and is an in-office procedure.

Patients typically have minor soreness that only lasts one to two days before being able to return to their normal activities. Results are noticeable in just a few days and continue to improve for several months as the skin continues to tighten post procedure and any swelling subsides.

An ideal candidate for this procedure has specific goals in mind for targeting areas on the body which have not been responsive to other weight loss efforts such as diet and exercise.

Botox with Bruno | Brown: Q&A with a Washington, DC Patient

Botox in Washington, DC: the benefits of going to a Top Plastic Surgeon.Top DC Plastic Surgeons and Botox

We’ve all seen the specials at spas for deals on Botox treatments and wondered what the difference was between the spa treatment and a medical professional. Botox results can turn disastrous if not done by an experienced plastic surgeon. You can end up with tired, droopy eyes or a frozen look.

We interviewed a Bruno | Brown patient about her experience getting Botox at Bruno | Brown Plastic Surgery versus a med-spa experience.

This patient is a working professional in her early 50s.

Real Life Botox Experience Q&A

Why Bruno | Brown Plastic Surgery?
I had gotten Botox done before at a med spa several times. I got a recommendation to go to Bruno | Brown because I had always gone to a med spa and a friend told me, “Why aren’t you going to a plastic surgeon? To someone who actually knows what they’re doing.”

I thought, ‘Oh yeah, that’s probably a better idea.’  The perception in my mind was it was going to be way more expensive, way more. But in reality, the price wasn’t that much more, nearly on par.

When did you see results?
It starts kicking in around day three, full results were in a week.

What did the procedure feel like?
Botox doesn’t hurt, I really didn’t feel it.

How long did the treatment take?
It’s really fast- maybe 10-15 minutes.

Why should I go to a Plastic Surgeon for my Botox Treatment?

When done correctly, Botox can smooth crow’s feet, reduce the appearance of forehead wrinkles and the lines in the folds between the nose and lips. However, when someone with limited experience administers Botox, they could possibly make the injections in the wrong spot, too deep, or too low. This can cause unwanted side effects, like a frozen forehead or cause eyelids to droop.

You always want Botox treatments to be given by a trained and experienced medical professional. The doctors at Bruno | Brown Plastic Surgery are experienced and qualified to perform Botox treatments and will determine what the best methods are to achieve your desired look.

Who Should You Trust for Botox? Why You Should Choose Bruno | Brown Plastic Surgery

If you’re looking to reduce wrinkles and smooth fine lines, consider Botox in the Washington, DC area.

Botox is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in the United States. It is used to help slow down the signs of aging as well as smooth existing skin wrinkles.

What are the Benefits of Botox?

  • Smoothing of crow’s feet (lines around the corners of the eyes)
  • Reduced appearance of forehead wrinkles
  • Restored elasticity of vertical lines between the eyebrows
  • Reduction of lines in the folds between the nose and lips

Botox Treatment and Recovery

You may have some minor swelling or pain at the injection site, this usually goes away almost immediately after the initial injection. There is no recovery time for this procedure, and the process usually takes between 10-15 minutes. Results can last between 4-6 months in certain areas. Because the risks are minimal, it’s the perfect option for those who are just starting to look into updating their appearance without having to undergo a major surgical procedure or deal with a long recovery process.

Why You Should Always Choose a Top Plastic Surgeon for Your Botox Treatment

Botox should be administered by a trained and experienced medical professional. Specifically, it should be administered by someone who is knowledgeable and experienced in their field, such as the doctors at Bruno | Brown Plastic Surgery.

Someone with limited experience giving Botox could possibly make the injections too deep, too low, or in the wrong spot. This could cause negative side effects, like droopy eyelids or a “frozen look”. Dr. Brown explains further on how he prevents this from happening:

“The tendency to treat fully the forehead lines allows the brow to drop, thereby giving the eyes a tired/droopy and frozen look. I go lighter on the forehead for this very reason; balance it with the elevation from the frown lines and the crow’s feet and it looks more natural.

Although we aim to get a perfect result every time, it’s often better to undercorrect as you can always add more if needed.”
