The world of aesthetic medicine has experienced an incredible surge in popularity over the years. Beverly Hills-based cosmetic surgeon Robert H. Cohen M.D. says Botox is emerging as one of the leading non-surgical treatments to address the signs of aging. Botox is a safe and effective way to temporarily smooth fine lines and wrinkles, but its success is highly dependent on the expertise of the practitioner administering it.
Dr. Cohen's Expert Approach
Dr. Robert H. Cohen, a well-respected and accomplished cosmetic surgeon with decades of experience, has honed his skills in the delicate art of Botox injections, to ensure his patients receive the best possible results.
How Does Botox Work?
“Botox works by blocking nerve signals to muscles, causing them to relax and reducing the appearance of wrinkles.” Explains Cohen.
Dr. Cohen emphasizes that the amount of Botox needed for optimal results varies significantly depending on the patient's age, the area being treated, and the extent of existing wrinkles. The patient's physical activity level and underlying metabolism also play important roles in the amount needed as well as the longevity of the treatment.
He explains, "As one gets older, you're going to generally need more Botox because you already have damage to the area. So we want to try and stop that damage and reverse it."
When addressing the delicate area around the eyes, Dr. Cohen tailors his approach according to the patient's needs.
"Traditionally, I'll use anywhere from eight to ten units– but I've used as many as 20 units around the eyes when it's an older person, the areas below the eyes are quite wrinkled, and the crow's feet are deep."
The area between the eyebrows, known as the glabella, often requires a more aggressive approach due to the complex muscle structure.
Dr. Cohen says, "This is the strongest complex of muscles of the face, made up of about three to four muscles. In general, I'll use anywhere from 10 to as much as 30 units between the eyes."
Dr. Cohen's conservative approach ensures patient satisfaction and safety. He typically starts with a moderate dose of Botox and schedules a follow-up appointment 10 days later to assess the results.
"I have the patient come back because, in our office, you only pay for what you use." This strategy allows for adjustments as needed, ensuring the patient achieves the desired outcome without over-treatment.
In addition to its aesthetic applications, Botox has a range of medical uses, including treating migraines, excessive sweating, TMJ Syndrome, and muscle spasms. There are a number of innovative advanced uses for Botox that Dr. Cohen offers his patients IE jowl softening, jawline defining Nefertiti technique, nonsurgical jaw sculpting and contouring, eyebrow-raising, corners of mouth raising, lip augmentation, sweat reducing (palms, soles of feet, forehead, back) nose tip elevating, and most recent treatment for erectile dysfunction and penis augmentation.
Dr. Cohen's expertise in this versatile treatment allows him to cater to a wide range of patient needs, further solidifying his reputation as a leading expert in the field of aesthetic medicine.
The popularity of Botox is no surprise, considering its ability to deliver impressive results with minimal downtime. However, it is crucial to remember that the success of this treatment relies heavily on the skill and experience of the practitioner.
Dr. Cohen's extensive background in cosmetic surgery, combined with his commitment to patient satisfaction, makes him an ideal choice for those seeking the rejuvenating effects of Botox.
