What is Botox?
Botox is an injectable medication that’s FDA-approved for treating forehead lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet. It is commonly used off-label to address visible signs of aging in other areas of the face.
The world’s most popular injectable treatment for temporarily reducing the appearance of lines, folds, and wrinkles, Botox is backed by decades of research and clinical trials. It also has numerous medical applications, including reducing the severity of migraines.
People choose Botox again and again because the treatment is:
-
- Safe
- Effective
- Fast
- Simple
- Temporary
- Subtle
At Northshore Dermatology, Cosmetic Spa in Hammond Louisiana and Cosmetic Spa in Madisonville Louisiana, Dr. Tabor is recognized as a Top 500 Botox Provider. He and the team offer unparalleled skill and experience when it comes to Botox treatment.
How does Botox work?
Formulated from a natural substance called Clostridium botulinum, Botox works by temporarily altering the strength of targeted facial muscles. The substance used in Botox is found naturally in lakes, soil, and forests. In certain concentrations, Clostridium botulinum is deadly, but the volume used in Botox is carefully controlled and perfectly safe.
A type of neurotoxin, Botox prevents your facial muscles from going through their full range of motion. You can still create normal facial expressions after Botox injections, but you won’t have deep lines running across your forehead, between your brows, or around your eyes.
It only takes about 15 minutes to have Botox injections placed. You don’t need to prepare in advance, and you won’t need any recovery time. Many people go back to work after treatments or resume their daily activities.
How long do Botox results last?
It takes 24-48 hours for Botox results to develop. You can expect those results to last around four months. At that time, your lines, folds, and wrinkles will slowly begin to return.
You can decide to come back in for another round of treatments at that time. If there are things about your previous treatment you’d like to change, just let your provider know. Subtle alterations are possible by changing the volume of Botox used or the placement of injections.
Many people choose to have Botox at the same time as dermal fillers. Used together, these injectable treatments can do wonders for creating a more youthful, well-rested appearance. Treatments are always customized to suit your unique facial contouring and treatment goals.

How do fillers work in a liquid facelift?
The term “liquid facelift” refers to a combination of dermal fillers and Botox® treatments. In the hands of a skilled practitioner, these treatments can create a more rounded, softer facial appearance with minimal lines and wrinkles.
A liquid facelift can last for many months. As the effects begin to wear off, you can return to the office for additional Botox treatments or dermal filler injections.

- Nutrient deficiencies

Lip Filler
If you’re unhappy with the shape or volume of your lips, you may want to consider lip filler treatment. The team at Northshore Dermatology, Cosmetic Spa in Hammond Louisiana and Cosmetic Spa in Madisonville Louisiana, and our other two locations in Slidell, Louisiana, and Picayune, Mississippi, offers customized lip filler services to perfect your pout. Call the office to book a visit, or schedule online in just a matter of moments.
What happens during lip filler treatments?
The process begins with a discussion of your treatment goals and a quick assessment of your skin and facial contouring. Lip enhancement is more than just pumping up the volume of your lips.
Fillers offer the chance to refine your lip lines, enhance lip volume, and create subtle changes in the curve of your smile. The planning process is an essential part of a successful lip filler experience.
On the day of your treatment, your practitioner uses an ultra-thin needle to place the gel-like filler into your lips and the surrounding tissue. Juvedérm contains lidocaine, which is a local anesthetic that helps minimize discomfort.
A degree of swelling and tenderness is normal in the hours and days after treatment. Your body quickly adjusts, so you can enjoy your newly refined lip shape and volume right away.
How long do lip filler treatments last?
You can expect your results from Juvéderm treatment to last around one year. Over time, your body slowly absorbs the filler material. Your lymphatic system processes and eliminates the filler.
At that point, you can decide if you’d like to come back in for another round of treatment. If so, you can make changes to your previous treatment. Just let your practitioner know, and they can administer more or less filler during the next round of injections to refine your results.
Dr. Tabor has extensive experience with lip fillers. He has earned designation as a Top 500 Allergan® provider and exclusively offers fillers from the Juvéderm family of products.
Lip fillers also treat vertical lip lines, lip wrinkles, and other lines around the mouth. When you’re ready to learn more, call the office to book a visit. You can also book online, which takes very little time to complete.
