Frowns on the forehead can be quite a source of embarrassment and lead to insecurity for some. Deep frown lines between the eyebrows are called glabellar lines and can add years to the actual age while also making it difficult to put on makeup. If you are keen on getting rid of these deep frown lines, Dysport may be the best treatment option for you.

Dysport given in the form of injections contains abobotulinumtoxinA which is similar to Botox. The injections act by blocking the nerve activity in facial muscles leading to removal or reduction of wrinkles and frown lines.

If you are looking for a frown-free life, consult Dr. Azadeh Shirazi, MD at La Jolla Dermatology and Laser Surgery Center. Dr. Shirazi has a keen eye for restoring a natural look that returns the youthful complexion you deserve!

Smiling can always add value to your facial appearance and make you look more attractive. But smiles also cause deep lines and wrinkles on the face over time, causing distress to those who feel they are losing that flawless, firm look. For others, acne can leave ugly scars behind making it difficult to cover them up.

Bellafill is a type of dermal filler that provides relief in terms of removing acne scars and reduction of smile lines.

Bellafill contains polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) microspheres within a collagen based gel. Injections of Bellafill can instantly reduce deep smile lines. These microspheres further stimulate natural collagen production adding volume to the skin. The results of Bellafill are excellent and last for more than a year.

At La Jolla Dermatology and Laser Surgery Center, we have extensive experience in treating patients with Bellafill to restore their youthful and radiant skin, free from scars and smile lines.
