How To Treat Fine Lines With Dr. Shah and Jonathon

Okay, so Jonathan, what are we talking about today?

I want to get glabella done and help reduce the scar a little bit as well with Botox.

Cool. Um, let’s squeeze together and relax. Sometimes when patients come in, they wait to see their lines come back. What do you think about that? Because you don’t really have a prominent line, right? So what would you tell patients with?

I would say as soon as you start to see a little movement, come and get it done.

<laugh>. I’m sort of like, my philosophy is to sort of keep your schedule right, like whether it’s three months, four months, six months, um, this sort of like, makes you keep that schedule because otherwise, um, the movement, this or that, right? And everyone’s movement is a little bit different. Some people are three months or some people are four months. Or I mean, if you’re blessed to be a nine month or which are rare, but you might be ahead of it. Cause if you look at your line here, just take a real, real quick look. There really is no line when you relax. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>, you can see that this is super fresh and we’re gonna maintain that because we’re gonna be on top of it with Botox. So you don’t want to, um, kind of like really get these, um, when do you tell patients who said they want to get rid of the line completely with one treatment,

But it’s not gonna happen. It is, and it takes some sessions in conjunction with other modalities like resurfacing lasers.

A hundred percent agree. If you’ve had this line forever and you did one treatment, it may not get rid of that line. So you might need to do a couple treatments with that. And, um, so those new leads to Botox expecting to be, you know, 20 again, it’s not gonna happen with one treatment. So, um, just know that you have to be consistent. Mm-hmm. <affirmative> in life, whether it’s exercise, whether it’s diet, and with Botox too. So keep that schedule. Tom. We’re, I say Botox, but we’re using the magic disor. So the

D word. Mm-hmm. <affirmative> is that word? More toxin for unit. An amazing stuff.

Um, yeah. And it works a little faster too, so if you have a big event, it’s nice to do that. Um, you’re gonna be going someplace too, right? We’re in Cancun

Here we go. So we’re gonna have some fun and then if you squeeze together and then relax and squeeze together. Cool. When’s the last time you’ve had Botox?

It’s been a while. Um,

When was last time you had Botox?

I think it’s been over like four months. Morpheus has kept my skin looking real nice,

But it’s interesting you’re saying over four months, sometimes we have patients who say it’s been a while. How long has it been? Mm-hmm. <affirmative>, pre Covid and you’re like, oh yeah. Um, so, um, there’s the difference between being consistent and not consistent. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. Um, so someone who says it’s been a while, it’s been four months. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>, it is a lot different than someone says. It’s been a while. It’s been a few years. Right. So, um, get that consistency and uh, have fun with the, uh, the D word. In this case, it’s, uh, disport, <laugh>.
