Injectables
Many of the fine lines and wrinkles in our forehead and around our eyes are caused by repetitive facial movements. As we age the amount of collagen and elastin in our skin starts to decline and our skin can no longer bounce back as it once did. Anti-aging treatments can help relax these wrinkles and fine lines by preventing the facial muscles from contracting to result in smoother and more youthful skin.

JUVÉDERM™ INJECTABLE GEL
As we age, our skin changes. Over time, the natural volume of youthful skin begins to diminish as wrinkles and folds form. But, with Juvéderm™ injectable gel, you don't have to just sit back and let it happen! Recently approved by the FDA, Juvéderm™ injectable gel is a "next-generation" dermal filler. The smooth consistency gel helps to instantly restore your skin's volume and smooth away facial wrinkles and folds, like your "smile lines" or "parentheses" (nasolabial folds-the creases that run from the bottom of your nose to the corners of your mouth).
Juvéderm™ is a smooth consistency gel made of hyaluronic acid-a naturally occurring substance in your skin that helps to add volume and hydration. Your healthcare professional eases Juvéderm™ injectable gel under the skin to provide a smooth, natural look and feel-so everyone will notice (but no one will know)! In fact, studies show superior results of Juvéderm™ compared to a collagen-based dermal filler.* And, almost 90% of all study volunteers who were treated with both Juvéderm™ injectable gel and another dermal filler* preferred Juvéderm™! In addition, Juvéderm™ injectable gel is the first FDA-approved hyaluronic acid dermal filler that is proven to be safe and effective for persons of color.
With Juvéderm™ the injection process takes only about 15 minutes and results are immediate. Plus, there's minimal recovery or downtime. So you can step into your doctor's office for treatment and step right back into your life.

BOTOX®
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a simple, nonsurgical, physician-administered treatment that can temporarily smooth moderate to severe frown lines between the brows in people from 18 to 65 years of age. It is the only treatment of its type approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Botox procedures are handled by the professionals at Dr. Hollingsworth Texarkana location. One 10-minute treatment-a few tiny injections-and within days there's a noticeable improvement in moderate to severe frown lines between the brows, which can last up to 4 months. Results may vary.
These injections are a popular option for treating crow's feet, frown lines, and other kinds of dynamic wrinkles (wrinkles caused by facial expressions). Containing small, safe, highly purified amounts of the botulinum toxin protein, BOTOX® injections temporarily stop muscle contractions in the injection sites. This prevents wrinkles and helps smooth out the skin of the face.
The results of BOTOX® injections tend to last approximately four months, with some patients experiencing results for up to six months or more. Once the results of the initial BOTOX® injection have worn off, another session can be performed.
