What would Barbie Do?

April 6, 2009

March 2009 marks Barbie’s 50th Birthday, and she looks as fabulous as ever. The favorite fashion doll was released in March 1959 and has changed careers over 100 times and changed clothes even more. She’s been an astronaut, she’s been clad in Diane Von Furstenberg—but she has never let herself look old. Through her independence and determination, she has inspired girls worldwide that they can become anything they want to be plus own that Malibu dream house. Her message today is to look as young as you feel.

Dr. Raval specializes in injectables to reduce wrinkles in the face. The most popular treatment for the upper portion of the face (between the eyes, around the eyes and the forehead) is Botox. While used to soften banding of the skin on the neck, BOTOX is not applied to the lower face. For the lower face, Restylane and Perlane are the fillers that Dr. Raval recommends to erase laugh lines and fill in the jawline.

In addition to treating wrinkles near the eyes and in the forehead, Botox can reduce underarm sweating and relax bands in the neck. The treatment lasts up to four months between injections.

Botox is a soft and subtle change to your appearance that will leave you looking a great in a way that other people will notice, but won’t be able to identify exactly what’s different about you.

The procedure is fast and painless. It is a non-surgical procedure that does not require anesthesia. Dr. Raval can administer the injectable in as few as 10 minutes. All you will feel is a minor pinch. Dr. Raval mixes Botox with lidocaine, an effective pain reliever. No down time is required following the treatment.

Botox is the most common cosmetic treatment performed on both men and women throughout the United States annually. Treatment begins at only $12 per unit.

Barbie’s secret to timeless beauty is to follow your dreams and enjoy. There’s never been an unhappy Barbie doll. Botox can take out lines and bring smiles.
