By now, you have probably heard of BOTOX®. This revolutionary treatment is changing the way we approach signs of aging. It is a highly effective option for certain types of facial fine lines and wrinkles. If you have been wondering if you are a candidate for the treatment, you should learn more about how it works and who makes a good candidate.
What is BOTOX®?
BOTOX® works by temporarily relaxing certain facial muscles. This is done so that your face can relax and the fine lines and wrinkles can fade. The injections are given in a highly targeted manner so that they do not affect the surrounding area. You do not have to worry about having a “frozen” face after this treatment. Due to the way it works, this treatment is not intended to treat skin damage done by the sun or gravity. Instead, it works on what are known as dynamic wrinkles.
What are Dynamic Wrinkles?
Dynamic wrinkles are the ones that appear on your face when you make certain expressions. Every time you frown, laugh, squint, etc., fine lines show up. In our youth, there is so much collagen in our skin that these lines quickly fade when we stop making the expression. Over time, collagen levels drop, and these wrinkles stick around longer. These dynamic wrinkles are precisely what BOTOX® is intended to treat. Common examples include frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines.
Who is a Candidate?
In the past, BOTOX® was considered something that only “older” women had done. Now, both men and women in their younger years are taking advantage of this treatment. Dynamic wrinkles can show up practically any time, and there is no reason to put off treatment if they bother you.
You may be a good candidate for BOTOX® if:
- You have moderate to severe facial wrinkles
- You are wanting to treat dynamic wrinkles that are caused by repetitive facial movements
- You have realistic expectations regarding the process and results
- You are in good overall health

Category: reveiwsI have been a patient of Dr.Jacobs for over 20 years,,Over that time period he has discovered, treated, and has removed several skin cancers from me. I can clearly state that if it weren’t for him I probably would not be alive today..His staff has always been the most professional and his clinical environment is always immaculate. I would recommend anyone with dermatological issues from psoriasis to melanoma to consult with Dr. Michael Jacobs.

Category: reveiwsI had the best experience with Dr. Jacobs. Went to see two doctors who misdiagnosed a rash I had on my ankle. Dr. Jacobs identified it within seconds, prescribed a medication and it started to clear up two days later. The staff is wonderful and I would go back anytime.
Satisfied Patient
by Michel Orban
Category: reveiwsFor over 30 years, Dr. Jacobs has treated me. He is cordial, friendly and listens. Most recently, I had a severe case of bedbug bites that I got in Portugal. Literally within minutes of texting him with photos, he corrected the diagnosis I'd been given at a local hospital clinic and told me the medicines I needed. While I saw two doctors in Europe, it was Dr. Jacobs who helped me control my anxiety. For over three weeks, he communicated frequently with me - reconfirming what I was doing was correct and reassuring me the bites would get better, Dr. Jacobs is my go to! He is thoughtful, direct and clear in conveying his diagnosis. I am grateful to him for his care and appreciate all he has done for me over the years.

Category: reveiwsI have been a patient of Dr. Jacob's for over a year and although I went for one procedure, I kept coming due to their outstanding and attentive service. Their facility is very clean and the staff is very professional. Their equipment is top of the line. I've had hair removal and lasers done that was totally painless. I highly recommend this facility.
Too Modest to Publicize Himself

Category: reveiwsThe wonderful work the Doctor did restoring a freshness to my face and neck was enough to convince 5 women pictured in The Social Register to make appointments of their own. Whether socially, for a polished image at work, or for health and wellness to take personal care seriously, this is the doctor to visit. NOT one who sells her services on TV talk shows. This office is not a Botox factory assembly line. When comparing notes, we women agreed that each was treated uniquely as specialized treatments were matched with care and a sure sense of what would be pleasing and successful with each patient. May I note as well that there are quite a number of men in the office seeking treatment as well!. This is a board certified physician who teaches his skills at Cornell. It goes without saying that his professional demeanor causes a patient to trust his judgement.
