Do you ever wish you could get rid of those frown lines and the look of a furrowed brow? If you have tried creams, peels, and masks and still are not satisfied with the results, you will love what you can achieve with Botox. Administered by San Francisco plastic surgeon Dr. Scott Mosser, Botox works by reducing muscle activity in a localized area. By inhibiting the muscle contractions that create wrinkles, your skin will be smoother, and those troubling frown lines will be less pronounced. Botox is safe and effective. It has been used for nearly two decades in medical applications and was approved for cosmetic use in 2002. It is now the most popular nonsurgical medical cosmetic treatment in the United States and the United Kingdom. When it comes to the popularity of Botox, San Francisco proves no exception.

Botox treatments consist of a series of tiny injections that take only 10-15 minutes to administer. Since there is no incision, there is no recovery time. You can go back to your normal life right away. Some women even have Botox injections on their work lunch hour or while running errands. Results start to appear in mere days, and frown lines will continue to improve for a month after treatment. The effects of Botox often last up to 4 months.

If you would like a more noticeable or permanent solution than you can get with Botox, cosmetic surgery might be a good option. San Francisco plastic surgeon Dr. Mosser specializes in cosmetic procedures. Facial surgery, such as blepharoplasty and face lifts, can result in a much more youthful appearance. Blepharoplasty virtually eliminates under eye "bags" and sagging of the upper eyelids, which can make you look tired. Face lifts can reduce wrinkling of the cheeks and drooping of the jowls. When selecting a San Francisco plastic surgeon, be sure to check credentials. Dr. Mosser is a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon who has completed 6 years of comprehensive general and plastic surgery training and a year-long fellowship in dedicated aesthetic surgery.
