Botox®
Botox® relaxes those muscles that can cause wrinkled skin. Administered with tiny injections around the problem area, Botox® is fast, safe and effective.
Dr. Ort remains at the forefront of Botox treatments, specializing in treatment of the entire face, neck, and other body areas. He is a member of the National Education Faculty for Botox and trains physicians from around the country to administer Botox. He has achieved Botox Gold status, which means that he's performed Botox treatments on thousands of patients.
You will see results in 3 -7 days after getting Botox injections. Dr. Ort's expertise in facial anatomy ensures a beautiful result that relaxes your wrinkles without losing your natural facial expression. Special injections can be given to raise your eyebrows and even address fine lines around the mouth. If pain is a concern our "cold air" technique will render the needle sticks almost unnoticeable.
