  • Frown (Glabellar) Lines

    Frown lines, often called ‘11s,’ are vertical creases between the eyebrows caused by repeated frowning. Treatment in this area can reduce harsh creases, creating a softer and more approachable expression.

  • Forehead Lines

    Forehead lines are horizontal wrinkles that develop from repeated brow lifting. Treatment gently relaxes muscle activity to smooth existing lines and slow their progression. Because this is the only muscle that lifts the brows, careful technique is required. My approach focuses on balancing natural expression with the results you want.

  • Crows Feet

    Crow’s feet are the fine lines that form at the outer corners of the eyes from repeated smiling, squinting, and sun exposure. Treatment relaxes the underlying muscle to reduce crinkling, helping the skin look smoother.

  • Blepharospasm

    Blepharospasm is a neurological condition that causes involuntary spasms of the muscles around the eyes. This results in frequent blinking, eyelid closure, and in severe cases, functional blindness. Treatment can help manage symptoms to reduce spasms, relax the overactive muscles, and help restore comfort and function.

  • Hyperhidrosis

    Axillary hyperhidrosis is excessive underarm sweating caused by overactive sweat glands. It can be uncomfortable, socially limiting, and resistant to regular antiperspirants. Treatment with targeted muscle relaxant injections reduces gland activity and reduces sweating. Results typically last several months.
