"What's interesting is, that when you think about it, photo damage or sun damage really is a wound to the skin," says Dr. Lupo. "It damages collagen and other important proteins in the skin and the thought of doing anything that stimulates repair by mimicking the body's natural repair mechanisms really makes a lot of sense, sort of a more natural way to encourage your body to make its own collagen."

Botox / Dysport

Botox Cosmetic is a naturally purified protein which is injected in a sterile manner into the muscle. The muscle relaxes, resulting in fewer wrinkles and lines. When done correctly, the result is smooth, relaxed and more youthful. Dr. Lupo has been chosen by Allergan to teach other aesthetic physicians proper injection technique to ensure great results that look natural.

Q. I have heard about Botox into the neck, but I am confused about what this would do to make you look younger. Please explain it. A. Botox relaxes muscles. Depending on which muscle is injected, it can have different effects. When injected into the neck, it is being placed in the platysma muscle. This is a thin sheet of muscle that goes from the collar bone all the way into the jaw and interlaces with muscles of the lower face.
