Skin Care Myth: You Can’t Smile or Show Emotion After Botox

TV comedies and movies love to make fun of Botox claiming that after treatment the face is unable to show emotion. This isn’t true, but unfortunately scares many people off from Botox. In reality Botox specifically targets muscles that cause wrinkling. Dr. Matarasso is an expert injector and can help you get a natural and younger look using Botox.

Skin Care Myth: Dark Skin Can’t Get Skin Cancer

While lighter skinned people are on high alert for skin cancer, those with darker complexions often don’t worry about this disease. Cancer might be more common in lighter skin, but anyone can get skin cancer. It is important to regularly examine moles looking for signs of skin cancer. Dr. Matarasso offers skin cancer detection appointments where you can ask questions about problem areas on your skin and learn what to look for from a skin cancer expert.

Skin Care Myth: You Can’t Fade Scars

Do you have scars you wish you didn’t have? They don’t have to be permanent. Our IPL treatment can fade scars (and many other skin problems including sun damage, age spots, freckles, large pores and even excess body hair) in just a few treatments.

Skin Care Myth: Adults Can’t Get Acne
