Cosmetic Fillers & Botox
Botox and cosmetic fillers are popular non-surgical treatments for reducing the signs of aging and enhancing facial features. At OcuSight, we offer these treatments with the added expertise of a fellowship-trained oculoplastic doctor to ensure optimal results and minimize risks.
What is Botox?
Botox is an FDA approved neroutoxin injection that works by blocking signals from a nerve to a muscle, which reduces muscle movement. Decreased muscle movement can be of benefit to diminish lines and wrinkles, or prevent unwanted movements such as uncontrolled spasms. The oculoplastic surgeons at OcuSight Eyecare Center perform Botox injections for cosmetic purposes and to treat medical conditions such as blepharospasm and hemifacial spasm.
Cosmetically Botox can be used in the glabella, forehead, crows feet, and around the lips. The treatments are almost painless and take 5-10 minutes to complete. A typical treatment will last for 3 to 4 months.
Botox treatments can provide a more youthful and refreshed appearance. At OcuSight, we offer three types of neurotoxin injections: Botox, Juveau, and Dysport.
There is a misconception that once you start using Botox you have to keep using it “forever”, this is not true. You can use it whenever you want, some patients come every 3 months as they don’t want to ever see any lines, some come every 4 to 6 months. After your injections wear off in 3 to 4 months everything simply goes back to the way it was prior to your injection as the muscles can move again normally.
Hemifacial spasm is a condition that causes involuntary muscle spasms on one side of the face. Botox injections can help to relax these muscles and reduce spasms.
Similarly, blepharospasm is a condition that causes involuntary twitching of the eyelids, which can also be treated with Botox injections.
Our cosmetic surgeons will help determine which type of injection is best for each individual patient’s needs.

This treatment can provide a more youthful and refreshed appearance and improve vision for those with severe ptosis. At OcuSight, we offer three types of neurotoxin injections: Botox, Juveau, and Dysport.
Each of these injections is FDA-approved and works by blocking the signals from nerves to muscles, which reduces muscle movement and, therefore, the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Our cosmetic surgeons will help determine which type of injection is best for each individual patient’s needs.
What are Cosmetic Fillers?
Cosmetic fillers, also known as dermal fillers, are injectable treatments used to restore volume to the face, smooth out wrinkles, and enhance facial features. At OcuSight, we offer several types of cosmetic fillers, including Restylane products and Juvederm products.
The Restylane line of products, which includes many options such as Silk, Lyft, Kysse, Refyne, Defyne, and Contour, is an excellent option for patients looking for a versatile and customizable treatment plan that can address various areas of concern, provide natural-looking results, and long-lasting effects.
Restylane is a popular brand of cosmetic filler that is made from hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the body. It is used to add volume to areas such as the lips, cheeks, and nasolabial folds, as well as to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles. Our oculoplastic surgeons are particularly adept at using fillers around the eyes to help recontour the under eye hollow and blend the eyelid into the cheek.
Juvederm is another brand of cosmetic filler that is also made from hyaluronic acid. Like Restylane, it can be used to add volume and smooth out wrinkles on the face.
At OcuSight Eye Care Center, our fellowship-trained cosmetic surgeons will work with each patient to determine the best type of cosmetic filler and formulation for their unique needs and desired results.
