Patient Testimonial
I have been seeing Dr. Tantisira for several years now. Initially, I went to see her for the fractional CO2 laser. Not even fully understanding it’s true benefits. Of course I was so happy with the way I “looked”. I looked so much younger! Then I went in for some Botox and fillers. Again I was thrilled with my results. A couple years have gone by and 50 is around the corner. Reality is setting in. I was diagnosed with basal cell skin cancer. And I have severe dry eye. She is an amazing eye doctor along with her other talents of skin care. I ended up needing my tear ducts cauterized. She performed this procedure and my quality of life has changed.

Botox Cosmetic and Dysport
Botox Cosmetic and Dysport offer similar outcomes for patients aged 18-65 who want to soften frown lines without the downtime of traditional surgery. Studies indicate that for some patients, Dysport may show faster, longer-lasting results than Botox Cosmetic. Ask Dr. Tantisira why she uses these two muscle relaxants in different areas of the face!
What to Expect
Corrective Treatment
If you are unhappy with the results of your Botox treatment from other offices or Medspas, Dr. Tantisira has the experience to provide corrective treatment. Depending on the situation, she may be able to balance out uneven areas with a strategic injection of Botox/Dysport to counteract the previous treatment or at least to minimize the imbalance.

Results from Botox injections depend on the treatment area and pre-treatment status. Frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines can be erased if they have not been present for too long. (If these wrinkles have been present for a long time, there could be skin damage with lines etched into the skin that will require time or another procedure to completely remove.) Other treatment areas, such as bunny lines, lip flip, Nefertiti Lift, depressor anguli oris, masseter muscle, and neck webs all respond very well to muscle relaxant treatment. Because of her experience, Dr. Tantisra usually gets maximum results with these muscle relaxing medications. Her patients have come to expect her “Botox brow lift” with their frown line and upper eyelid treatment. The youthful results of smooth skin are amazing. Results typically last up to 3 to 6 months for the first treatment. Each subsequent treatment lasts longer if it is performed as soon as the previous treatment wears off, so that many of her patients only need it every 6 to 9 months.
Discomfort is minimal as Dr. Tantisira uses tiny needles 2 to 3 sizes smaller than the standard size used by other injectors. Adding very cold ice or numbing cream as needed to the skin, she really strives to maximize each patient’s comfort and to minimize bruising.
The recovery period is short, with the main restriction being to avoid rubbing the treated area for 4 hours to decrease the risk of spread to the wrong muscle. Most normal activities can be resumed right away, but facials and massage of the face should be avoided for a day or so. Mild bruising, swelling, and redness are possible side effects, but they are usually temporary and mild.
