ROCKY MOUNTAIN LASER AESTHETICS RAISES EYEBROWS, MAKING FOREHEADS YOUTHFUL AGAIN USING BOTOX INJECTIONS

April 6, 2009

Denver, CO-- Rocky Mountain Laser Aesthetics is raising eyebrows—literally. Called a chemical brow lift, the procedure in non-invasive, requires no downtime and shows immediate results. Using BOTOX™, Jeffrey Raval, MD, FACS, a Botox Trainer, one of only a handful of surgeon trainers in the metro area, can perform this lift in less than 10 minutes.

Dr. Raval, owner and medical director of Rocky Mountain Laser Aesthetics (www.rockymountainlaser.com) explains that a chemical brow lift is the way to look up to 10 years younger without having a full browlift surgery.

A chemical brow lift is a shot of Botox in the lateral brow that makes the brows higher and refreshes the whole look of your face. This “10-minute treatment,” as Dr. Raval refers to it as, is a quick series of injections that can be administered without consideration for work demands or travel plans, because there is no recovery time needed. The lift factor occurs due to recruitment of other muscles on the forehead participating in the raising up of forehead skin in the area on either side of the mid-forehead where the Botox was injected.

A full brow lift is an invasive surgery involving incisions and tissue repositioning that requires up to 10 days to recuperate. The chemical brow lift smoothes out wrinkles and frown lines instantly. The treatment lasts up to six months and no anesthesia is required.

The significance of a facial expression is telling, especially in this economy. An expression is called so because a nonverbal message can be conveyed in a glance. Yet many people are not aware of what their face can say about them. The stressed look is out of style, even if your stocks are down. People want to work with those who look confident and rested (as though their company will survive the recession) instead of the tired and haggard.

Dr. Raval is a double board certified plastic surgeon and he understands the muscle configuration of the face. Not everyone’s facial muscles are alike. It takes an expert in head/neck surgery like Dr. Raval to assess the muscles and the way they work and administer the Botox injections accordingly. As part of the consultation, Dr. Raval asks his patients to make a series of facial expressions by raising eyebrows, frowning and squinting so he can best treat the problem areas.

There is a direct correlation between looking good and feeling good. Botox increases confidence and overall happiness by eliminating what makes many people feel the most self-conscious: wrinkles.

Botox, or Boutulinum toxin, is an injectable protein made by Allergan. It is generally administered every 4 to 6 months (depending upon the area being treated) for optimum results.
