    Q: I have under eye bags and wrinkles. I am unsure which approach to take to remove/reduce them: fraxal laser, or blepharoplasty? I would be grateful for your recommendations.

  • HOW MANY UNITS OF BOTOX WOULD I NEED TO ADDRESS LAUGH LINES AROUND THE MOUTH?

    Dr. A’s Answer: The laugh lines (aka smile lines, naso-labial folds, melo-labial folds) are not treated with a botulinum toxin. Certainly these products would work, but you would no longer be able to smile (or move your upper lip much at all) if you treated them this way. Good news, however, fillers work great for this purpose. Hyaluronic Acid products such as Restylane and Juvederm are excellent ...
