Doctor David Shafer, a fully trained plastic surgeon, has joined our excellent team and was available at Serenity Spa. Due to his high demand he sees his clients at his office. His expertise in Botox and injectables allows him to complement our non-surgical procedures with the most up-to-date technologies and techniques. Starting with his plastic surgery training at the world famous Mayo Clinic and continuing at the prestigious Manhattan Eye, Ear & Throat Hospital, Dr. Shafer stands on the forefront of facial aesthetics. Since its introduction, the uses of Botox have expanded rapidly.  However, at the same time, the number of people injecting Botox has risen exponentially. It is essential to clarify who will be injecting your Botox. In 2008, Dr. David Shafer wrote a chapter and produced an instructional DVD on Botox injections. It is important for you to know how much Botox is being injected. Most clinics and spas sell Botox by area. However, this allows them to significantly dilute the Botox for a higher profit at the expense of inferior results. It also increases the chance of cross-contamination between patients. Additionally, the clinics and spas may store the diluted Botox for long periods which decreases its effect. Dr. Shafer injects Botox by unit, so the patient gets exactly what they pay for. He then keeps an electronic record of your injection to use as a reference for further injections. Additionally, Dr. Shafer opens a new vial of Botox for every patient. This eliminates the risk of cross-contamination and ensures that you are always getting fresh Botox. It is important for clients to understand the possible complications of Botox. Botox works by paralyzing the dynamic muscles of the face. The ideal result achieves a balance between decreasing wrinkles while preserving animation or expression of the face. Sometimes Botox can leak into unintended muscles. This can lead to dropping eyebrows or eyelids when injected around the eyes. It can also lead to oral incompetence when injected around the mouth. If you do develop drooping of the eyelids, there are medications that may help. Additionally, Botox always goes away, so if you are not happy with your results, you can be assured that baseline muscle function will return after several months. Dr. Shafer uses very fine needles with highly concentrated Botox to help avoid these unintended consequences. Some confusion exists between the use of Botox and the use of facial fillers such as Radiesse, Juvederm, Evolence. Botox decreases muscle contraction which helps reduce dynamic wrinkles - wrinkles caused by movement. Botox is usually most effective around the eyes and forehead. Facial fillers help fill volume deficits and smooth out static wrinkles - wrinkles caused by volume loss and gravity. Fillers are generally most useful around the mouth and in the mid face. Often, a combination of Botox and facial fillers are required to achieve the best results.
