What is Botox?

Botox is an injectable product that contains the biological compound, botulinum toxin. When injected, the toxin temporarily disables the targeted muscle; thus, the wrinkling generated from its contraction is eliminated. The most common areas of injection are the forehead, brow and outer eyes and around the neck (also known as turkey neck). Extra injections around the lips can also be of benefit.

Botox Cosmetic has become a leading and popular cosmetic procedure and has received much publicity for its success. The reasons for its immense popularity are numerous. The procedure is easy to perform with little or no downtime. The procedure is effective, cost efficient and almost painless while the risks are minimal. However, Botox® Cosmetic should not be considered without any risk at all.

Botox Cosmetic is a neuromuscular toxin that inhibits the release of acetylcholine within the nerves. These nerves are located within the muscles that are injected. Without the release of acetylcholine, muscles become inactive.

Recovery

The affects of Botox® last anywhere between three to five months. One will notice a difference in wrinkle reduction two to three days after injection. Almost all patients are extremely happy with their results and often return for repeated injections or to request a permanent surgical solution.

Important Things To Remember About Botox

The advantages of Botox can dramatically improve all wrinkles that are caused by overactive muscles. Men and women alike over the age of 30 can benefit from Botox. Botox helps with wrinkles that are caused by over-active muscles, however static wrinkles or very fine wrinkles are not removed by Botox® Cosmetic. These wrinkles are caused by changes within the skin itself or are due to the aging changes of the skin and underlying fat. Correcting fine wrinkles requires a thorough evaluation with a Luxxery skin professional to determine the exact cause and to diagnose the most effective treatment. Various treatments and services for fine/superficial wrinkles at Luxxery include a chemical peel procedure, laser skin resurfacing, a face lift, fat or collagen Injections, or a brow lift.

Life of the Party: Doreen Drewry Lehr Book Launch

Posted on 01 July 2010

As one of 1.5 million children evacuated to the presumed safety of the countryside from British cities during WWII, Doreen Drewry Lehr launches, “A Girl’s War: A Childhood Lost in Britain’s WWII Evacuation,” her first novel. The launch party was held at  Peacock Cafe in Georgetown Thursday June 24th. Guests snacked onPeacock Cafe’s local mushroom and goat cheese tarts, vine ripe tomato and fresh mozzarella skewers, tuna tartar and seaweed salad with wasabi dot, and in honor of the World Cup, South Africa-inspired beef or vegetable Bobotie with saffron Greek yogurt.

Piper Heidsieck Champagne was also served. “A Girl’s War” marks Drewry Lehr’s first novel, as she chronicles her experiences and also provides a historical analysis of the times. Lehr recalls how she was separated from her parents, and works to answer the question “How could my parents send me away?” throughout the novel.

Exciting news!

Dr. Hakki (with me by his side) was on NBC4 this morning from 11am-12pm. It was a great interview! Dr. Hakki chatted with Barbara Harrison about the latest Cosmetic Trends as well as LUXXERY EXPRESS Services!  Hope you had a chance to see it. Here is a screen grab from the TV.

It's a bird, it's a plane -- no, it's speedy Botox

 This summer, District wrinkles are under assault with the opening of D.C.’s “first ever botox boutique.” The Georgetown-based Luxxery Express Medical Spa will feature no-appointment-necessary injectable fillers for “D.C.’s on-the-go, beauty-driven community”—a local demographic that’s been ignored for too long.

The man behind the needle is Dr. Ayman Hakki, who, according to a press release, “saw two alternatives as a career: become a plastic surgeon like Ivo Pitangue whose work on Sophia Lauren popularized cosmetic surgery or become an architect like Frank Gehry whose work evokes both pop culture and high art.” Thankfully for the nomadic beauty-driven community, Hakki’s “love of beauty and the human body” won out. The choice paid off: The presser touts him as “the first D.C. metropolitan-area plastic surgeon whose artistry was featured on MTV’s ‘True Life: I Want Breast Implants.’” He’ll be available to stuff your face at 2141 Wisconsin Ave. NW starting July 1.
