Not All Botox or Dysport Wrinkle Treatments are Equal

Have you had a bad experience with your Botox or Dysport treatment? Did you think Botox made you look too frozen, made your brow shape weird, made your eyelids droop and as a result look more tired? Have you heard of Botox causing the inability to smile, or making wrinkles under the eyes worse? Did you get a big blackeye last time you wanted your crow’s feet treated? Are you scared to try Botox for the first time or ever again because you think it is just not for you?

The truth is that the complications mentioned above are mostly caused by the injector’s technique. The good news is that most of these potential complications can be avoided.

Dr. Tess Mauricio, a San Diego Dermatologist, personally administers all injectables (Botox and Dysport) to ensure you experience the expert’s touch and get results you are thrilled with! There may be centers that offer these products cheaper but no one does it better! And with unbelievable specials like: Buy one area of Dysport, get second area free and Get Free Botox with laser treatments over $3000, an Expert’s touch is a luxury you can afford!

Experience the Expert’s Touch:

1. In most centers, you will not get a Stanford trained, well respected cosmetic dermatologist and TV personality to administer your injections. Most injectors offering less expensive treatments are RN’s or other MD’s who are not dermatologists or plastic surgeons. Expertise and technique matter in order to minimize possible complications such as bruising, eyelid droop, uneven results, eyebrows too high, and even inability to smile!
   Dr. Mauricio will evaluate you and personalize your treatment to fit your needs. For example, if your brows are already too flat, or you already have some eyelid droop, she may treat the forehead differently than if your brows arch too high naturally. If you already have problems with loose undereye skin she may treat the crow’s feet differently. If you wanted a lift in your brows, she can design your treatment to give you a “chemical brow lift”, where correctly placed Botox/Dysport will cause a natural (nonsurgical) elevation of eyebrows which can open up your eyes nicely, make you look younger and more awake and pull up extra upper eyelid skin. Dr. Mauricio never uses a one size fits all approach to injectables – you are unique and so should your treatments. That is the difference you deserve! 
2. We use the smallest needles – patients are often pleasantly surprised how painless the injections are. Especially in injections around the eyes to treat crow’s feet, many patients say they heard their friends get lots of bruising when treated by other practitioners. Dr. Mauricio’s technique minimizes this risk allowing you to get treated around the eyes without having to deal with a black eye for 2 weeks!
3. If you are worried about injection pain, we even can apply topical numbing cream before your treatment. We also have a special cooling machine that can be used to minimize discomfort.
4. If you are not 100% thrilled with your results, after 2 weeks, Dr. Mauricio encourages you to come back to the clinic – all you probably need is a little tweaking to get that perfect result!

And keep in mind, ask for the number of Botox units you are getting. Units matter! If lower number of units are used, the treatment for an area may be offered cheaper and it may still work. But, it won’t last as long! Make sure you get what you pay for.

Testimonial from One Appreciative Client

“Since I am an RN I am very scrutinizing when it comes to receiving any type of treatment. I saw an ad for Dr. Mauricio and was very impressed with her credentials. I made an appointment for a consultation and I verified that she is indeed highly qualified. When I met Dr. Mauricio and her staff I knew at once that I had made the right decision. Dr. Mauricio and her staff are warm and friendly.

Dr. Mauricio met with me and listened to my concerns, giving me a well informed education on her products and services, and together we formulated a plan for helping me achieve the look I desired. After 22 years of working on my feet as an RN in a hospital my legs had suffered and I had many spider veins. I had sclerotherapy with Dr. Mauricio and I now am not embarrassed to show my legs. I can wear the strapped sandals and skirts that I love.

My face had begun to show signs of aging with crow’s feet, sun spots, and deepening lines around my mouth. I had a fotofacial series and botox. I can’t believe the difference in the appearance of my skin. The lines around my eyes are greatly diminished and my whole face feels smoother and toned. I also had sun spots on my chest, arms, hands, and loose skin on my neck. With the Aurora and Polaris treatment series, I immediately noticed increased tone in the skin on my neck. Now, my arms, chest, hands, and neck look great and feel healthier. Even though I have jogged for years and exercised, I still had areas of cellulite across my upper thighs and buttocks. After three pregnancies my abdominal skin was loose. After a VelaShape treatment series, my problems areas are smoothed and toned and I began to notice a difference right away.

I was so amazed that with each treatment I would see an improvement with less and less dimpling of my skin. Also, clothes feel looser after treatments. I feel so comfortable with Dr. Mauricio and her great staff that when I go into her office I feel as though I am visiting friends and at the same time I am completely confident that I am under the care of a highly skilled, well trained professional that I can trust. I am not trying to hide my age; I wouldn’t trade the wisdom of my years for anything. I just want to look the best that I can for my age.

But, I really don’t mind at all when people think that I’m 35! I love to see their reaction when I tell them that I’m 47 years old! I am thoroughly ecstatic with the results I’ve received from the treatments by Dr. Mauricio. I now look on the outside like I feel on the inside, younger, vibrant, and energetic. I am no longer asked if I’m tired or sick. I love that the changes are subtle enough that my friends look at me and say that I look refreshed and happy. I highly recommend Dr. Mauricio to everyone. Not only is Dr. Mauricio and her staff gracious and attentive but the comfort of knowing that she is an outstanding and highly skilled medical professional is priceless.”

Look Your Best After Baby’s Birth

Pregnancy can wreak havoc on our skin and body. This can leave us feeling less confident and sometimes downright feeling down in the dumps. An unfortunate fact about being pregnant is that there are limited cosmetic treatments that can be safely done during pregnancy.

In my case, a few years ago, the long 9 months seemed longer as I could not get my regular skin laser treatments and Botox. On top of that, I developed new problems like leg veins, skin tags, new freckles and pigmentation on some body parts, acne and an itchy skin rash all over. Yes, I was a “skin and beauty” mess… and could not wait to deliver my son… for many wonderful reasons of course, but one of them was so I can start my cosmetic overhaul.

The good news is that there are wonderful noninvasive treatments available to new moms (or “not so new” moms) which can really reverse the damage done by pregnancy and give us back our self esteem and confidence. I want to share with all of you my own treatment plan for my post-pregnancy problems.

1. Uneveness in Skin Coloration – I had brown spots on my cheeks and redness, especially around my nose, and left over pigmentation from a pregnancy rash on my trunk. A series of Aurora Fotofacial/RF helped even out my skin discoloration.
2. Eyebags – For fine lines underneath the eye areas, large pore size and overall tired look, Polaris radiofrequency treatments shrank my pore size, improved skin texture and help tighten the skin all over.
3. Wrinkles – I had wrinkles on my forehead and between my brows. In addition, my migraine headaches came back! Botox was the answer to all those problems.
4. Acne – Aurora acne laser treatments, acne skin care kit, chemical peel and microdermabrasion helped calm down my skin break-outs.
5. Skin Tags – I developed pesky, red, growths, (angiomas). Thankfully those were easily removed with electrocautery.
6. Spider Veins – My legs were happy to get some sclerotherapy so I felt comfortable in shorts again.
7. Cellulite – VelaShape treatments helped to recontour and smooth out the jiggly skin on my abdomen, thighs and buttocks.

I hope this offers a glimpse of hope for all mothers out there. A rejuvenated you is just a few easy, simple treatments away. Come visit us the dermatology clinic and let’s get started so you can achieve great results, just like I did!

Look Good in Time for the Holidays

Fall is right around the corner, and with that, it’s time again to think about preparing for holiday parties, family events and looking your best! Whether you have just a few weeks or up to 3 months to devote to your rejuvenation plan, our cosmetic center can customize a plan just for you and your needs. Here are some general suggestions:

If you have 2-3 Months:

• Aurora Fotofacial/RF, Polaris or Refirme
  This series of treatments will get your skin glowing and erase the signs of sun damage on your skin ie.) brown spots, redness, broken capillaries, fine lines, large pores and dullness. Get your face, neck, chest hands and legs treated and show off some skin!
• Botox
  Your Botox effects should get you through the stressful holidays virtually wrinkle free with treatments for your forehead lines, upper lip lines, and crow’s feet. Fillers, like Restylane, can instantly soften or erase unwanted lines and plump your lips.
• Liposculpture
  Liposculpture will sculpt your problem areas away so you can fit into those holiday dresses you REALLY want.
• Sclerotherapy
  Fall/winter season is a perfect time to have sclerotherapy done as it is much easier to wear the compression stockings when the weather is cooler. Get your leg veins treated and show off those legs!
• Skin Care Products
  Using the right skin care products can take years off your look! The Replenix for Dr. Tess Skin Care Line is simple to use with medical grade ingredients to improve your skin. These products are only available at our dermatology clinic, so, treat yourself to the best products available for your skin.

If You Have 1 Month or Less:
When you don’t have much time, or your holiday party is two weeks away and you want to look your best, there are still ways to achieve the look you want:

• Botox and Fillers
  With the use of Botox and dermal fillers like Evolence, we can take years off your face almost instantly and wipe out that tired look. Best to give yourself 2 weeks before your big event to get these treatments done.
• ReFirme and Polaris Treatments
  These treatments are noninvasive and require no downtime. They will amazingly tighten, lift and smooth your skin. I usually get treated a few days before an event to give myself a completely natural, flawless glow. My make-up goes on so well, and I feel more confident! Once you try it, you will become a believer.

We would love to create a plan especially for you, and are just a phone call away. Contact us and let us know how we can help you look your best.
